How tall do you have to be to get on all the rides?

[agame2323]

and typically what age is that for kids?

I think it is around 46" to cover all the rides. However WDW website list the height requirements for each ride under the attractions list. My DD is 8 at just now at 50", however people probably consider her petite.

48 inches is the max height limit for the biggest rollercoasters and waterpark slides. I would describe my DS as a very average boy and he hit 48 inches (barefoot) around age 7. My other kids are super short or super tall!

DIS has a really neat little page here to identify all the rides by height requirement:

Yeah, the height for the biggest rides is 48" (although my brother who was 6 on our trip and about 45" (he is pretty petite for his age) was able to ride almost everything except Rock n' Roller Coaster and Primeval Whirl. Most rides are either 40" or 44", he was quite pleased with that!

DD7 is 48.8

Not in Disney, but be aware that certain attractions in Island of Adventures and Universal have higher requirements (Hulk and Rip Ride Rockit come to mind, over 50" if I remember correctly).

My 7 1/2 year old girl is still shy of 48 inches and she is the shortest girl in 2nd grade. My 5 year old just made the 44 inch mark and he is on the shorter side as well. My 3 year old is on the tall side and he hit 40 inches for about half the 40 inch rides.

40" gets you on a lot of rides, except the mountains. 44" gets you on almost everything, with two exceptions. 48" gets you on everything.

I have VERY small children. Oldest is 7 and is 45". Second is 5.5 and is 42". Third is 3.5 and is 35". Last is 2 and is 31".

I would say that by age 7.5 the great majority of kids should be the height to ride all the rides (48").

Now, if we're talking Dis kids, the age is more like 2.5.
