We arrived at the park, yesterday, and raced to ThuNderaTion, thinking my daughter could ride. She loved Big Thunder Railroad at the Magic Kingdom, last month, and we mistakingly thought we had remembered the height requirements were the same for both coasters. Amazingly, we were wrong (It's the first time we've ever been wrong, of course.)
Imagine our surprise when the operators informed us that we were idiots if we thought we were ever going to ride ThuNderaTion. OK, so they were nicer about it than that, not daring to call us any names, but they gave us a card they call a
Pony Express Pass. On the card was a wooden token (like a wooden nickel) that has the height requirement on it. The card explains that the token can be brought back when she reaches 42 inches and we can go to the front of the line with no wait. Of course, we'll never use it - it's too good of a souvenir, and the line at TNT isn't long enough to waste it.
The card had this poem on the front:
Save this token,
We aren't jokin'!
Go to the front of the line,
Saves you tons of time.
Grow with all your might
Just a little more height.
Then exchange this treasure
For a ride full of pleasure!
Does anyone know of any other unique and rare souvenirs out there? At one time we had heard one of the jewelry places would give a baby her first ring, but we never have been able to confirm that.
