Is Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop Kid-Friendly?
As far as a drop ride goes, this isn’t nearly as intense (or tall) as Tower of Terror. While not a slow drop, the parachute drop is a lot slower and more kid-friendly than Tower of Terror, as well.
The big question would be whether your kid is afraid of heights. The drop is 25-meters (about 82 feet), bringing you up before dropping you back down in a fairly smooth movement. If you have a child that isn’t a fan of being up high, this may prove to be too much. But, if heights aren’t a problem, this can be a fun drop ride alternative for kids that are tall enough.
Will Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop Cause Motion Sickness?
The drop is less intense and smoother than Tower of Terror, which jerks you up and down. If you get motion sick from any kind of drop, this may be one you want to avoid. However, if you are okay with a slower drop down, you should be fine as far as motion sickness goes.
