Sometimes they are crying because they got hurt, or are sick of standing in line (hey bring some bubbles or snacks or toys or little treats to keep them amused) and when they get up to the actual ride they are so happy to finally be going on - no more tears!

I am sorry, but I am a little iffy on the crying child one. I understand for a safety standpoint, but some, especially at Disney, are not dangerous. I agree that you should think twice on putting your crying child on a ride, but my parents put us on some rides when we were kinda crying. Then again, we were not screaming:)
