#height restrictions

My 3-year-old likes Star Wars.

We’re starting with the original trilogy. We’ve watched a New Hope – by request – 3 or 4 times. And then today, we finished Empire, and started Jedi.

Watching him discover Star Wars is heartwearming. It’s one of the blessings of fatherhood.

The first time he saw the opening scroll, he literally said, “Wow! Big letters!”

And he loves the droids. “Watch out, R2-D2! There are Jawas hiding in the rocks!”

And as we watch, he literally keeps repeating, “I wish I could go there. Someday I’m going to go there.”

That kills me! Because – technically – he can go there! We live in Orlando, and there’s a Star Wars Land in Disney World! It’s fun, and well-designed!

Buuuuuut there are 0 family rides. The Star Wars movies have no height restriction, but all of the rides do.

Disney did the same thing in Toy Story Land! And Universal did it with Harry Potter!

What kind of business plan is that??

1️⃣ Buy a popular series, for all ages
2️⃣ Adapt it into a well-designed theme park land
3️⃣ “Oh, by the way: no kiddie rides! Go enjoy the gift shop, twerp! Come back when you’ve got a pube!”
4️⃣ ???
5️⃣ Profit!

Which idiot is making these decisions? Why does anyone listen to them?
