* 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.
