Indiana Jones and Age/Height Requirement

[wmaney]

Just curious whether anyone can confirm or refute the following:

In the Birnbaum Disneyland Guide book it says that if a child is 46 inches tall or over 3 years of age, than the child can go on this ride. I have a 4 year old who is 40 inches tall and a v. out going young girl who likes to "ride the rides." My question involves the "or" part of the above statement. Can she go on this ride accompanied by an adult even though she is less than 46 inches tall? Thanks for your help.

Copied from my post on the family board:

I would expect that the child must meet both restrictions in order to be truly safe on the ride. The official Disneyland site says the must be 46 inches tall in order for the safety features (probably the lap bar) to work correctly. This page has all of the restrictions listed:

It is a very rough ride and can be difficult for adults to remain comfortably restrained at times. The ride vehicle, subject matter, and themeing are not necessarily appropriate for all ages.

I can't imagine what would have happened if I would have taken my daughter on at 4. She's going on 6 now and is taller than 46-inches, but I would probably not take her on.

I took my 41 inch, 4 year old son on Dinosaur at Disney World's Animal Kingdom, which is supposed to be the same/similar track and ride, and even though the requirement was only 40 inches, I still felt like I had to put an arm across his chest the entire time and keep him planted in his seat. It is an extremely rough ride, not to mention very intense.
