Ride Height Question

[SheriN]

Ok I know I can look at the website to see each ride's height requirement, but I don't want to hunt through every rides info. So I'm going to ask it here. Especially since I don't know if there's a quick easy guide that shows all of the rides info instead of having to go to individual rides.

When we went to WDW back in Dec 2005 our youngest got to ride on "most" everything, but I'm drawing a blank on the 'big kid rides'. I know he didn't ride Space Mountain with me and the older 2, none of us rode Tower of Terror or the Haunted Mansion but everything other than those I'm drawinga blank on.

At this present time he's 4yo and 42 inches. Is there anything in all of Disney World he *can't* ride on. Including the water parks as well.

I'm not sure when we'll get to go again, but Dh finally make a comment about maybe going this year but it'll towards the end of the year cause I *don't* do Florida in the summer.

Thanks.

Primeval Whirl has a 48" requirement.
To drive indy grand prix, you need to be 52".
Rocking Roller Coaster may be 48" too.
Mission Space would be my other one to look at.

I'm thinking one ride has a 44" requirment, but I don't remember which.

I think Space Mountain is 44". DD is 40" and she couldn't ride.

Expedition everest in AK is 44 inches also.

A bunch of the slides at the water parks are 48 inches too.

Height requirements are listed here:

Thanks! And I knew there had to be a single list out there but I apparently didn't bookmark it last time I saw it and couldn't remember where I saw it.

So again, thanks, now maybe I can get hubby to narrow down when we can go.

I do not want to get flamed but here goes. We just got back and my son measures around 42.5-42.75 at the dr. in socks. He was wearing regular tennis shoes and was able to make it on the 44" rides and I did choose to let him. He rode space mountain and expedition everest. We decided to let him ride Mission space on the green line (no spinning) but that day he was wearing crocs and he did not quite bump the height board and was not allowed on. Just thought I would share this info, do with it what you choose best as your child's parent. I saw many many kids wearing heelys through the parks and wondered if they had to take those off when measured for the rides as they must give the kids at least an extra 3 inches or more as my child's plain old nikes added like an inch and a half. Have fun.

Just enter height in inches and it will tell you which rides he's not tall enough for.

MGM Studios Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith 48"
Blizzard Beach Summit Plummet 48"
Animal Kingdom Primeval Whirl 48"
Blizzard Beach Downhill Double Dipper 48"
DisneyQuest Mighty Ducks Pinball Slam 48"
Magic Kingdom Tomorrowland Indy Speedway 52" (this is to ride alone, younger kids can ride with an adult)
Typhoon Lagoon Bay Slide 52"
DisneyQuest Cyberspace Mountain 51"
DisneyQuest Buzz Lightyear's AstroBlaster 51"
Magic Kingdom Space Mountain 44"
Typhoon Lagoon Humunga Kowabunga 48"
Animal Kingdom Expedition Everest 44"

Personally we don't allow this to stop us. It's just something for ds to look forward to on future trips!
