Can a 5 year old go on Space Mountain?

If you think he's ready go for it. If he gets in & sees the ride vehicles & wants to back out, there's always an escape hatch for those space travelers that want to abort the mission. I've had parents tell me that they've taken their 5 year olds on SM & they loved it - others were terrified.
