Height Requirements

[SmallWorld71]

Can anyone point me in the direction of a height requirement list?

DD6 is currently at 49". She is quite brave (much braver than her mother LOL) and I am trying to find out which rides she will be too short for so that I can prepare her ahead of time.

Thanks!

If you go here:

that will give you this list of height requirements!

My DS6 is just barely squeaking by the 48" mark w/his sneakers on- he's dying to try the Mummy ride, so I'm hoping if we head there early in the morning before he starts to shrink throughout the day he might make it!

We just returned from IOA/US and they weren't strict at all with heights. My daughter is barely 40" with shoes on - and sometimes made the 40" at Disney, sometimes didn't. The time of day made a difference. Also, telling her to stand so her head hits the bar worked better than telling her to stand up tall. No one measured her at any of the 40" rides. On Jimmy Neutron, I noticed a lot of kids an inch or two smaller than her not being measured either!

Thanks for the info.!

I checked the link and it looks like there are only a few she can't go on. Dueling Dragons (Dragon Challenge), Hulk, Dr. Doom, and HRRR. I don't think she will care about Dr. Doom and I will prepare her for being to short for the coasters. There's the possibility that she could grow enough for HRRR, but probably not.

It's great that she can go on most things, but now what do I use as my excuse for not wanting to go on scarier rides.


ready4mouse: I hope your DS makes it. Unlike his siblings, DS10 is short for his age and wasn't able to go on any 48" rides until about 7 1/2. Even then, we had to teach him how to stand like a soldier at every ride we went to so he could maximize his chances.
