What this ride is like

Pteranodon Flyers is a suspended glider ride over Camp Jurassic with unusual rider rules: adults over the posted child-height range generally need to ride with a child who meets the requirement. Because of its low capacity and eligibility limits, posted waits can behave differently than larger family rides.

Good fit if

  • You want to compare this ride with current waits nearby.
  • Your group is trying to avoid unnecessary walking across the park.
  • The current wait is below the recent average.
  • The ride is operating and has not had much downtime today.
