* Switching
Off : To switch off, there must be 2
adults. Adults and children wait in line together and when the first
attendant in line is met, tell them that you want to switch off. At the
loading area, one adult rides and the other watches the children. Then
the other adult watches the children while the first adult rides. A
third adult can experience the attraction with each of the switching off
adults if they don't want to ride alone. On Space Mountain, however,
after the first adult finishes the ride, he must alert the attendant at
the unloading area that they switched off and they then return to the
loading area via a special stairway to watch the kids.
