It’s always been a family favorite. We have three kids; our son is the youngest. When he was maybe 3 we took the family on the mountain excursion ride and, at the top of the hill, masked “robbers” attacked the train. Our so absolutely freaked out and we had a hard time calming him down and explaining it was all actors. I think it permanently scarred him for life.
Of course, these days, NorCal people would absolutely freak out if the robbers WERE NOT masked.
Your son did go there again, right?
Of course, because if they are wearing masks that means they are planning to shoot you. ;)
