Rider swap after child’s failed height check

[Disco Lemonade]

This is the first time we have run into this and are concerned about only one ride. Our daughter is exactly 48” in shoes and wants to do the Incredicoaster. I have read that children sometimes fail CM checks right before getting on the ride in cases where their height is close. If this were to happen, does it give parents the last second option to rider swap?

Yes. If this happens the CMs will help you.

They will check before letting you guys get in line (then again for boarding).

Biggest hints/suggestions:

Ride first thing in the morning before gravity has taken its toll on her height.

Teach her to try to touch the bar with her head. We always tell our kids to be careful and not to hit their heads on things, but in this case, she needs to "stretch big and tall" to bop her head on the bar.

Raising her arms above her head before measuring (just a quick stretch) can improve the slouching that often happens as well, especially as the day wears on.

We were there last week and had measured our kiddo at home in shoes at exactly 48" but he cleared the height check at Incredicoaster easily. We did the height check at the start of the line and the CMs never asked to double-check at boarding.

That is good to know. It would be best if you could just check at the start and avoid having the kid get failed by a secondary check. Even if they let us rider swap, I still might not do it due to the unpleasantness the situation would likely create with my kid.
