Rides for the very tall.

[JennyN]

My nephew is planning his first trip to WDW, his concern is about what rides he will be able to do. His is quite a large man with broad shoulders but his real problem is his height, he is 6foot 8inches tall. Has anyone on the disboards had a similar experience. What rides are doable for him, or what rides will be difficult. Any advise would be appreciated.

I am 6'6" and for me most rides work out well. I stay off the really small kids rides (that is obvious). I would say in DS that RNR is likely off the list. I have to slouch to get the bars to lockdown. It is a once a trip experience for me and sometimes I skip... On coasters cross your feet at the ankles and place your bag on top of your feet and/or have someone else ride with your bag. Some of the rides have bigger seats in the front or back seat.

By Park:

AK: Safari, Kali should be fine. EE may be tight (but not as bad as RNR at DS).
DS: TSMM, TOT fine. RNR is likely a no go.
EP: All rides should be fine. Might go green on Mission space first time. You stand up but the tube is a tad narrow.
MK: Dark rides sit cross legged and POOH (I think it is the front seat has more room. CMs will not usually be helpful with regards to asking them this question). Splash is fine, TMR is fine but hard to not smash the person next to you. Space Mountain is a bit tight. Again the back might have more room??? This is not as bad as RNR

I would like to say all other rides will be fine but I admit I may have missed a tight fit.
