Our DD was that age last year and it was very surprising to see what she was afraid of. She was afraid on any inside dark rides. She was scared on El Rio del Tiempo, Maelstrom, the Land boat ride. However she loved Dumbo and Goofy's Barnstormer. She is afraid of the dark. After she became hysterical on Living with the Land, I told her that she was going to have to stay at the child care at the hotel. Cruel, I know, but none of us were having any fun. After that she got over it and had a great time. She loved Haunted Mansion and POC. Part of her initial fear also could have been that she was getting accustomed to the rides. We also bought her a little pen flashlight and told her if she got scared, she could turn it on and shine it down on her shoes and that really did the trick. I would also start off on smaller rides, like It's a Small World, Winnie the Pooh. We are going again in August and she is already looking forward to some of the dark, inside rides. Save plenty of time for the carousel and take along a small flashlight. Try to keep the mood light and cheerful with your son when you are on the rides so that he will know that it is OK.
