This ride is a classic example of a very poor decision by a park. I suspect whoever signed off on it to have been under the influence of crack at the time. They put a coaster that probably has less than a 100 riders per hour capacity smack in the middle of a $70/gate park that only has 3 major coasters, and then put a kids only rule on it. Although that rule is apparently no longer enforced, who thought putting this low-capacity nightmare into a high profile park was a good idea? Its not like IOA has 12 other coasters.
Pteranodon Flyers does have a gorgeous queue, and is reasonably fun for a kiddie coaster. Its very much like riding a swing, which is a unique sensation.
