Are there any maximum height restrictions on any of the US or IOA rides? My dd's fiance is 6'10" and they're worried that he might be too tall to be allowed on certain rides. I've seen lots of minimum hight requirement lists but no maximum.... Does anyone know if this will be an issue for him? Thanks!
 
The only one I know of is Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. Their minimum height requirement is 51 inches, but they also have a maximum. I'm sorry I don't know what it is. There's a sign out front that shows it, and right when you're about to get on.
 
The only one that I know that mentions height is the Pteranodon Flyers. Which is actually a kids ride under 56 inches, with an adult companion. Not sure about anything else.
 
Might be something with forbidden journey since it does have an overhead area on the vehicles. It wouldn't be so much a height restriction as a torso length restriction. I think you'd had to actually try the seats to see if it worked or not.
 
Most of the rides have a chair out front that will let you test yourself. However, if alot of his height is in his torso then it will be close. I always test myself since I have a little bit of a gut. Not bad, I have really broad shoulders, 6'3", and wear a 3xl. They have special seats on almost all their rides for people a little bigger than the rest. I am thinking he will have problems at 6'10" unless quite a bit of his height is in his legs. I never really had more than 2" of clearance above my shoulders. Hard to know for sure since I was not watching closely to the harness to see if it lowered in addition to moving the harness on your chest. I had an extreme concern about the forbidden journey ride since I heard it was anti-fat people. (They put in new harnesses by the way in November) I called the Universal disabilities number since I thought above anyone else they would know the weight and height restrictions on the rides. They were really friendly and I was safe. I would call first since Universal is expensive. $115 for a one day multipark ticket in addition to parking or taxi service to get there.

I want to say it's 6'8" is the max height for Rockit and 7' for Dragon Challenge.
