Question for the taller folk

[Erin_Akey]

I am 5'11 1/2" and hubby is 6'6"

We ride everything. The only thing that is uncomfortable is Dinosaur. We have both banged up our knees pretty good on that one! But nothing else really is unmanageable. Some of the boat rides, I have to make sure not to wear a short skirt, lol, but other than that, we are okay on all!

My brother is 6'2" and the only rides that he complains about are Space Mtn at MK and Dinosaur at HS.

I'm 6' and I normally have problems with RNR, I hate the way the shoulder harness sits on my shoulders, if I was a bit shorter I don't think it would bother me but it does make the ride a bit uncomfy in parts. Space Mountain is a tight fit like the others have said but I don't have a ride that I won't do anymore because I don't fit right.

6'4" and 315 lbs.

I fit in everything, but it's tight in

Dinosaur (plus it's even harder on me because of all the jarring)
Space Mtn
Astro Orbiter (plus very difficult to get in and out of), my back hurt for a couple of hours after this one.
Splash Mtn (sat sideways)
Rock and Roller Coaster (2nd row)

There's another thread that discusses this, too:

6' 6" here. Odd numbered rows for Rock n Roller Coaster. Even rows have little leg room to slide down in the seat. Makes for a terrible ride.

My husband is 6'4" and he has given up on Space Mountain (he was really hoping they would change the seating after the refurb, but they didn't). He had to ride alone on astroorbiter, which confused our four year old since he was planning to ride with daddy. He won't attempt the speedway. Other things bother him , but not enough to stop riding.

DH 6'5" (and asking me WHY I am asking him these questions!) says Space Moutain is a little tight, Astro Orbiter - must ride alone (OK by me - I am too frightened by that one!). Dumbo - he no longer remembers but Magic Carpets and the Triceritops one (similar) -- he is not jammed up but rides in the back alone. (We have no little ones to take). Speedway cars a little tight but he could manage them.

All in all, he seems to ride everything ok including RNRC.

We have never tried The Barnstormer though --

My husband is 6'4" and the only ride I remember him talking about was Barnstormer...

I'm 6'3". Now that I'm a bit older and creakier than I used to be it is a pain to ride Space Mountain. I just have to jam my knees in there and hope for the best. I'll probably be skipping it from now on.

No problem on the Tomorrowland Speedway though.

I'm in the same club with ya Zippa...just 1" taller. The only ride I've ever had an issue with is SM and I'll never ride again despite the recent referb. Of course I've never done Dumbo, or Teacups.

My DH, who is over 6 ft, says BTMRR is uncomfortable. Specifically, the safety bar that comes down onto the lap is bothersome.

 

[mattsdragon]

I'm 6'2", and the only one that I don't like is Goofy's Barnstormer, that's a knee buster.

 

[aurorae]

6' 5" here.

Another vote for Space Mountain and Splash Mountain being bad.

Big Thunder and Dinosaur, which others mentioned, I did not find to be a problem. I don't ride Dumbo so can't comment on it.

 

[GoofysBro92]

I'm 6'1 with long legs Space Mt isn't comfortable for me at all. I have a hard time getting the lap bar over my knees and last time they were moving the car before I got it over them. The one that I really don't like is Prime Evil Whirl at AK that one beats me up

 

[cluvsdisney]

DH is 6'6" - he needs to sit in the front seat of Space Mountain and Astro Orbitor is a little tight but it's not a ride we go on anymore. Otherwise, he's pretty good on the rides.

 

[bleeps]

DH is 6'2" and the only ride that really gets him is Mission Space because the enclosed space is so small. Otherwise, he says no attraction space is so tight that it makes the ride uncomfortable for him....

 

[DCTooTall]

I'm 6'6" and can usually fit or squeeze my way into anything. (kinda used to cramming because of my long legs, so I hardly notice anymore).

That being said... the one that keeps coming to mind for me was Space Mountain. I remember the last time I rode it the T bar was pretty much just holding me in by the inside of my thighs. my legs were a bit sore afterwards.


.... i miss the old seatbelts. Also miss the old seating arrangement too.... Am i dating myself?

 

[corndog]

Just to supplement this with some new info--at 6'2", the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was the most painful experience of my life.

Pretty impressive zombie thread revival.
