To be fair, Monsters Inc was released in 2001. So the "under 10s" who watched it when it came out are able to buy alcohol now. It's gotta be hitting nostalgia status for some of them. They might feel the same way about those pixar movies and my generation feels about The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin.
Plus on average most kids are 48" in height between six and nine years old. My son who is in the 5th percentile on height was 48" in height around nine years old. So, that's kind of a stretch to say "under 10s" wouldn't be able to ride it. Not that all want to do a roller coaster at that age, but if the theming was right they might be more apt to try it.
I agree. Let's remember the craze of MU hats a few years ago to HS/college students. The "Pixar generation", much like Toy Story's Andy, is now college-age (or older). @brooke789 beat me to this.
I can say my DS rode RnRC a dozen times back-to-back at age 6 (I'm not making that up, DHS had just recovered from an afternoon power outage and there was almost no one in the park). He sure didn't have any clue who Aerosmith was, he'll ride it regardless of theme (as would everyone else).
But to contradict myself, I'm skeptical of the "Door Coaster" rumor because I neither see Disney actually doing a 48"+ Pixar ride, nor do I see them dumbing down what what is arguably their most thrilling coaster, since they have so few.
