The Triceratop Spin is a simple ride, but is still fun for all ages.
Located in the carnival area of the Animal Kingdom, this ride is similar to the Magic Kingdom's Dumbo and Aladdin rides. The basic idea is that you enter the ride vehicle, in this case a Triceratops, and the ride spins you around a central post. Inside the Triceratops are controls which allow you to go up and down, or tilt forward or backwards. The difference between this ride and others is that there are two rows of seats and two separate controls. In the rear seating area are the controls which allow the rider to go up or down. The front controls tilt. If you happen to be riding in the front with your younger daughter while your oldest is in charge of the controls in the back, look out.
I was subjected to multiple rounds of going as high as the ride would allow with pretty much zero control on my end. When I looked back to demand she lower the ride so her father would stop freaking out, my youngest decided that would be a good time to tilt the ride forward. If there would have been a camera on the ride, I am sure my look would have been priceless. The addition of height and forward tilt is not my idea of fun, but the kids do seem to love it.
There is usually a wait for this ride, but the line moves quickly. If the line is short, I recommend riding it several times in a row.
