Suitability

Who it's for

Who this ride suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Small families and friend groupsIdeal for single-family outings or small groups that want an exclusive carriage experience without combining with other parties; the caboose seats up to 16 people.
2
Multi‑generational groupsA good match for groups that include infants and older children — the stated capacity explicitly counts infants, children and adults together.
3
Families with infantsAppropriate for families traveling with infants, since all infants are included in the caboose’s stated maximum capacity.
4
Large partiesNot ideal for parties larger than 16, as each caboose is limited to a maximum of 16 passengers; larger groups would need multiple cabooses or separate bookings.
