Legroom on attractions

[aurorae]

What attractions in DL or DCA would be uncomfortable or too tight for a person who is 6'5" tall?

In WDW, the one that I had the most problem with was Splash Mountain, where I almost couldn't get out of the boat because there was no knee room. Anything like that at DLR?

Splash Mountain in DL has different seating so I think it will be fine. Maybe the Matterhorn but it is getting new cars so it's hard to say. The old ones would be fine but the new ones?

I can't think of anything in DCA that is really tight.

I am 6'3" and I have never even had the thought cross my mind. So I imagine that at the very most, you may be a little snug. Splash mountain has a lot of room for legs if you are up front since it goes into the log. Your knees may touch on some rides, but I can't imagine it would be that bad.

I am 6'5" and 340 lbs. I can't fit in the Maliboomer (sp?). More of a problem because of my "poohness" not my height. Everything else except the FRONT of the space mountain car is OK.

I was placed in the front and was able to sit down (I used the trick of crossing your feet before you sit down) barely. I had my knees wedged HARD against the 'bulkhead'. It was actually very funny because i was grunting with every bump and turn (my cousin thought it was hilarious). The best part was the end, I couldn't stand up. I was completely wedged in. I started to laugh, uncontrollably. The CM didn't know what to do. My cousin was laughing to. The CM kept saying is there anything she could do. It seemed to last 5 minutes, but i think it was only about 30 seconds. I finally was able to stand up, but I was laughing sooooo hard. As I went to step out of the car I stepped to low and, you guessed it, I fell flat on the deck. This caused my cousin and me to laugh even harder. The poor CM was saying are you OK and (to her credit), somehow, was NOT laughing. It was actually the best memory of that trip.

We went back a few hours later and this time I went in the second row and I fit no problem. The ride itself was much more enjoyable.

Haha that reminded me that I had to do the whole "cross legs than sit" thing on the front row of space mountain, I just think thats a height issue there, since I am 6'3", 175. It took me a couple tries to get up cause I kept tripping myself up.

I think the OP will be fine as long as you stay away from the first row of space mountain.

I am 6'4", 214(inseam 37") at present and never had a problem except MM , Matterhorn and the pooh ride. Even at 290 there was not much problem.

My husband is 6'2 and complains about the astro orbiters and muholland madness

 

[stevejanelle]

Never did Astro Orbiters and M.Madness is a bit uncomfortable. But I figure if I can fit then it's all good.
On Autopia I have to sit across both seats to drive my 4 y.o. gets kind of squished (not really).

my DH is 6'5 and always complains on space mountain.

 

[lostatdisney]

My DS17 is 6'5" or 6'6". He rode everything with us when we were there for spring break, but he said that the roller coasters were the most challenging. He said to bring knee pads for Space Mountain, and I think California Screamin' rubbed his shoulders (you pull the harness down over your head.) But even on the rides in Fantasyland, he had to sit with his legs at an angle in order to fit. He didn't complain, though, and we rode the coasters over and over again!

DBS is 6'3", he complains about Mulholland Madness but that's it. He does say he wishes the Matterhorn bobsleds were a bit longer but they aren't that bad for him.
