I've never been on Goofy's Barnstormer.. in fact, I've only walked through Mickey's Toontown Fair once or twice (my dad thinks its dumb) I'm just wondering, (a) can 2 adults go on this ""kiddie" ride alone without looking odd and (b) is it any fun? (Keeping in mind that BTMRR is the scariest rollercoaster I can handle and still enjoy:blush:)

I've done it ... and if I looked odd, I didn't care!

It's very short, but it's fun.

And, like the rest of Toontown Fair, there are lots of silly gags in the queue and on the load platform, which are at least good for a chuckle.

Yes! Adults can go on anything...this is Disney World :)

I'm the same way, I hate super-scary rides and have fun on the kiddie rides now and then!

We always go on it! The kids up front then the bigger kids(us) in the back!

There are always adults riding without kids.:mickey:

There's no age limit, adults go on all the time. With or without kids. You get adults going on their own to meet Mickey so I guess anything goes when it comes to the rollercoasters.

My dad has always come on the Barnstormer with us. When we get to Magic kingdom we take the train straight to Mickey's Toontown Fair and after our look around we start our rollercoasting adventures with the Barnstormer. When we went first time (1998) my mum joined us on the Barnstormer, she doesn't like rollercoasters but thought "It's a kids ride, how bad can it be?" She hasn't been on since.

Definitely worth a go when you're in toontown, a fast ride and a lot of fun. :mickey:

My "BIG" kids rode it over and over with out being escorted by younger siblings. They were 17 and had a BLAST on that coaster. Ride it, enjoy it, remember the great memory.

It is one of our Must Rides when we go to the MK!! One of us is always alone as one is with our 4yo. It is a fun roller coaster!!

I say do it. Where else can you be a BIG kid other than Disney, right?

In August we went on Barnstormer for the first time. My mom isn't too big on roller coasters, but she wanted to give them a try, so I suggested Barnstormer, since it is more gentle than any other. My mom and I fit in a seat together, a little squished, but it was no big deal. The ride is really short, but fun. After, my mom said she liked it and now wants to try more rollercoasters.

Adults are NOT allowed in DIsney World. If you are an adult, dont even bother trying to buy tickets.

I went on with my mom once, I really enjoyed that ride. I'm 15 and I firmly believe that everyone at disney is a kid at heart.

Even though it's a short ride it's fun. I was pleasantly suprised when I rode it with DS. I will gladly ride it again. I'd evven ride it without my children.

The ride is short. Really short. "Was that all?" short.

My husband and I treated ourselves to a Disney trip alone for our anniversary and we loved going on the Barnstormer! Wait for the back seat, cuz you get a much more fun ride!!!!:thumbsup:

My favorite roller coaster!! :thumbsup: Now that I have said that I confess... I don't like roller coasters. The Barnstormer is just my speed. Not too fast and not too long but I can say I rode one. :blush:
Ride it and have a great time!!!

I agree completely. I love this ride. It is very short, but the leadup to the ride is brilliant.

Even though my DDs are getting older, they still like to ride BarnStormer and we all ride together. My DDs ride in one seat and my DW and I ride in another. It’s all fun.:mickey:

If you are an adult, you need not be accompanied by a child to ride it. As an adult, I've ridden it by myself. Actually, it's the only roller coaster at Walt Disney World I can ride. The rest make me sick to my stomach.

I am ashamed to say that this is the one ride in MK I have not done! Now that I have read the reviews, we will add this to the To DO LIST!

That is good to know childless adults can go on too. How big are the seats since its a kiddie coaster? Would two adult guys be squished or could we ride separate?

a. you most certainly CAN ride it, and who cares how it looks!
b. It 's loads of fun!
Age doesn't matter @ WDW, everyone gets to be a kid there and nothing you do is dumb! Heck...I'm forty...something... and I still like all the attractions in Fantasyland! Enjoy it ALL!:thumbsup:

From another point of view, how small/young can you be to ride this coaster? We'll have a 16 month,2 and 5 year old.

You need to be 38 inches to ride.

It's perfect for a 5 yr old. I can't remember if there is a height requirement, but the 16mth and 2 yr old might be a little young.

My wife and I will both ride this along with the kids. The kids are 11 and 12 now, and we only ride if there is no line, typically when we are going through toon town to get on/off the train. It is a very, very, very, very short ride, not worth waiting in much of a line IMO unless there are young (or old) ones that are really excited to go.

I'd agree with the other posters, I am never embarrased about any childish things we do when at WDW. My DS (11) on the other hand can get very embarresed over his partent's actions at the world. Especially at AK becuase we like to jump around and dance to the great music when we are cruising around the park (especially my wife, she's crazy, love it).
