I think, as has been mentioned, that it really depends on your child, and no one on this board will know your child as well as you do. You have the posters whose children are fine to go on it at five, and then you have kids who are like I was: terrified out of my mind by the ride at age 9.
If I were in your shoes, I would talk to your kid about it. Is she afraid of ghosts? Can she easily separate fantasy from reality? Is she really imaginative? The ride itself may not be scary, but ideas can get stuck in your imagination and run away with you to not-so-happy places. Can your daughter sit through a "scary" (relative to children, of course) movie and be okay as long as she's told it's not real and none of it can hurt her?
I hope that whatever you choose, you all have a fun and safe trip and really enjoy yourselves!
