Is 6'4 too big for WDW rides?

[Kitty 34]

Our 15 yr old DS really wants to go to Disney but thinks he would be way too big for the rides? We're talking all the "wild" rides!

At 4feet 11 I can't answer from personal experience but I'm sure WebmasterBarry and Dan Murphy will know!

Your 15yo is 6'4???? Shades of my future!!

My DH is 6'3 and he had no problems on any rides and we did them all. He will be fine

I know from our time in MGM with Dan, you need to ask for the "odd rows" on Rockin Rollercoaster!! Being only 5' myself, I don't need to worry about such things!

My older DS is 6'3" (and not skinny either!) and he had no trouble with any of the rides.

I dont know the answer but I just wanted to say I am happy to see that someone else has a 15 yr old taller then mine . Mine is 6'1 and growing everyday . He does ok at Six Flags with no trouble if that helps .
I would ask RickinNYC he is a very tall man at least as tall as your son . He is a nice guy and would be gald to help . Go ahead Pm him tell him Mishell sent ya

Dh is 6'4" and he looks very handsome up on Dumbo!

Thanks you guys and Dan I almost forgot about you!! My son, Danny enjoyed the answers!

Yes, Robin they can get so tall!!!

DH is 6'5 and had no problem. He did have to ride alone in Space Mountain, but was glad to have a car to himself anyways =) LOL

He won't have a problem.

I'm 6'3" and I don't have problems with any of the rides. Sometimes I need to hog up a seat on the Barnstormer by myself though.

 

[RickinNYC]

6'4" is not an issue at all. I'm 6'4" and never ever had a problem. Although sometimes the ride car can be a bit snug, I've never not been able to squeeze in.

No worries and have fun!

You've got bigger fish to fry! Pete's dad was 6' tall at 12 and I cring to see me at 5' 4" tall looking UP at my son at that age and telling him to go to his room.

my dh is 6'4" and has had his knees compressed on some rides, but not to the point of extreme discomfort.

I'm 6'4 and not overweight, and don't have any problems with the rides. The airline seats, now that's a different story...

 

[Kitty 34]

I should add that my oldest DS is now going to WDW with us, too and he's 6'6!! We're going to look odd running around Disney with our 3 boys, 6'2, 6'4 and 6'6!!!

Doug, I know what you mean about the airline seats. I'm only 5'8 and I'm not very comfy!! I'm not sure what the boys are going to do!!!

DH is 6'3" and DS is 6'4", and they don't have any trouble.
