6'6" DH, any rides he cannot fit on?

[maswanson11]

My DH is 6'6" and 210lb. He has never been to DW, I am wondering if there are any rides he will not be able to do because of his height?
Thanks!

My best friend is 6'7" and had no issues with his height. He should be fine.

Space Mountain is going to be a little bit of a pain, but certainly manageable.

I haven't tried it yet, but evidently people with long thick calves are a tough fit on FOP. (Sounds insane as I type it)

He'll be fine on everything. Space mountain and 7dmt will be a little tight, but it'll work.

6'6 at 210 is pretty thin so I can't see any issue on FoP

I took a group of students in April. One of them is 6'6" and weighs around 185. He had trouble on Space Mountain, but he said the very front was better. He swears that he hit something when he had his arms up. He literally got stuck trying to get off the Barnstormer. We (even the CMs) were all laughing too hard to help.
I wish I had a picture.

Depends on if his height is in his legs or in his back. My SO is 6'3", but it's mostly in his long back, so he doesn't have much trouble; but I have a friend who is 5'10" and she's all legs. She sometimes has difficulty with the length between her hip and knee and some seats. 7 Dwarves Mine Train was a squeeze for her, Space Mountain as well in the back.

I'm in that neighborhood height wise, 6'4". He won't have any problems except on Space Mountain. Cast members usually direct me to a front seat for a little more leg room, but it still does a job on my ankles. Disneyland's version is much more comfy. I also find Primeval Whirl a bit uncomfortable but certainly manageable.

I'm 6' 6" and there isn't any thing I can't actually ride. Comfort, is another matter entirely. Some ride vehicles have locations that have a bit more leg and/or knee room. Ask the CMs. They will know the specifics of their ride and seat you appropriately.

For me, Winnie the Pooh, of all things is the worst, but Space Mountain and 7DMT are really difficult for me to get in and out of, and fairly painful.

But it can be done.

Dont think he'll have problems with being able to ride but he may be uncomfortable on some like Astro Orbiter, Space Mtn. depending on which seat he takes. My DH is 6'4" but all legs and found barnstormer and 7dmt a bit snug. Nothing he couldnt do but some things are a snug fit.

 

[DWillowBay]

???? I'm 5'0". It all works for me.

My husband is 7'1 and can't ride Space Mountain or 7DMT. But that's a few inches taller so it's hard to say!

She sometimes has difficulty with the length between her hip and knee on some seats.

Space Mountain is tough. I'm 6'4" and trim but my long legs need to be wedged in tight and will bounce against the front bar with that jerky ride. It Is painful. It's not the size of the calf, or the height or the person, but the length of the femur (thigh) that is the problem. The ride is in the darkness, so one can't anticipate the turns and drops. I need to love someone a real lot to ride it, I'd rather skip it.

Tomorrowland Raceway is also very tight, but my DS and I ride it again and again.
On Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, I need to guard my knees. But it's not a dark ride, so I can anticipate the bucking and have a wild and fun time.

Being tall has it's DISadvantages; beds for one; Space Mountain for another.

He won't fit in a stroller. I know from experience.

 

[prisjoyce]

My DH is 6'5", 230 lbs and the only ride he skips is Big Thunder. His knees get banged up on that ride. He has never complained about Space; likely bc he's used to squeezing in/tight fit. Enjoy your trip!

Hubby is 6'9" and fits on everything, including Space Mountain and Mine Train (just a little tight).

 

[cindyfan]

I'm under 6' but I have long legs.... and I really struggle with Space Mtn.... unless I sit in the front (like others have posted). And on Big Thunder I always have to cross my legs before bringing down the bar or I end up with bruises on my thighs and knees. 7DMR is also a very snug fit. I stay off of Astro Orbiter because the last time I rode, my leg was crushed from being so tight. Rock n Roller Coaster can also be snug if you sit in the back seat of the car..... each "car" fits 4 people and the front seat has much more room!

 

[Butterstick]

Seven Dwarves Mine Train might be really uncomfortable for him

 

[dreiwhit]

I'm 6' 2" with long legs. Teacups at MK are a little tight getting in and out, and the same with 7DMT. Some rides have seats that are closer to the ground (Its a Small World, for example) so your knees are higher than when you normally sit down. You have to work a little harder to stand up on those rides, but you can do so.

My husband is 6'5 and refuses to go back on Space Mountain bc it's painful. No issues with anything else.

My husband is under 200lbs and is 6' 5 1/2'' and goes on Space Mountain. I think they put him in a specific spot but I honestly can't remember which one (it's been 6 years since we last went).

We however haven't been to WDW since 7DMT but I do know it will likely be a tight fit for him. He has long legs but also a longish torso. From other people's reports my husband should be ok with FoP but I will still have him try out the test seat.
