DD loves coasters, but hates dark rides with monsters and villains. I wasn't sure how she would take Big Thunder Mountain Railroad when she was 4. The word "thunder" intimidated her. But she was fine with "that train ride over there". She rode it beside me the first time, in total silence. I asked her if she liked it as we walked through the exit gates. She didn't answer verbally, she just grabbed my hand and dragged me back into the queue for another ride. (All subsequent rides included copious giggling, hands in the air, plus a few fake screams for the bats and earthquake.)
