Tall Riders

[jaimelesmots]

Hello all,
I have seen a lot of forums using the search bar about larger riders, but I have not seen a lot about tall riders. My husband is 6'7" and I am wondering if he will be able to fit on most of the rides. He is pretty evenly distributed between his legs and his torso, but there are some cars that he doesn't even really fit in.

Thanks in advanced!

I'm not that tall 6'4" and have no issues on any rides. The only ride that I think at that height would possibly be rip ride rockit as it has a too tall limit too but I do not remember the height. I can check tomorrow for you if I ride.

RRR is a max of 79" according to their website.

My husband is 6'5". He is slender but has broad shoulders. I can't remember which rides he's uncomfortable in off the top of my head, but he's able to fit on all. It very well might be RRR that is a tight fit. But other than kiddy-type rides, there has been none that he has said he won't do again due to being squished. (I remember doing Flight of the Hippogriff with one of our kids instead of him because his knees were too uncomfortable on that one. But, that's more of a kiddie coaster. Also, he was sitting with a child, not by himself).

*Just checked the website to see if I forgot any others. Woody Woodpecker was too tight as well. Again, he fit, but it was not comfortable. So I did it with the kids instead. (And again, it's more of a kiddy coaster).

I think tall people have more tolerance of being squished than short people as well. I've seen my husband's legs or shoulders look like he's squished and he insists he's okay. I guess tall people just get use to it like I am used to climbing up counters and standing on them to reach things.

Oh no!! Looks like my son will miss out on RRR poor guy. He's 6'6" without shoes (and only 14!!!)

Can he slouch and be in thin flop flops just for that ride?

I would also be cautious of Ripshaw Falls. I'm only 5"10 and barely had enough room to get my legs in and even more difficulty to get them out

I'm happy that someone made a thread relating to this subject. My beau is 6'2" which is not overly tall, but I was a bit concerned about him fitting comfortably in all the rides. I'll have no problem it seems at 5'3"!

I'm tall and have no issues with Ripsaw. The only seat I cannot do anymore is the very front.

Thanks everyone! My DH will be happy that he can do most of the rides. He does have some tolerance for being squished And we don't have children yet, so the kiddie rides won't be an issue. Looks like the only one we might miss is RRR, which I'm not sure I really want to ride anyway. Thanks again!

You both should give it a shot! It is such a fun coaster!
