Measuring a child at US/IOA?

[msr709]

First time going with a small child (age 3) at the doctor's office last week he measured 41 1/2 inches, so he can go on most of the rides we expect him to like but I don't know how do they do this? I mean, do they check the child when he first goes into the park and put something on him so all the rides know whether he is tall enough, or do they measure him at every ride? My grandson is autistic and we'd like to prepare him for this. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

They will check him at every ride. It is done the same as at Disney where they need to stand under the measuring stick and see if the top of their heads touch. You should practice with him standing tall to reach something held over his head.

Thanks for the quick reply!
