Too Tall to Ride?

Leg room can be a challenge on some rides, but it won't make it impossible to ride. I know on Space Mountian, the first row of any car has a bit less leg room, so try to arrange for one of the other rows (your feet can kind of slide into spaces around the seat in front of you). Test Track is another one, though I want to say the front is better there, though if you are on the outside, the wheel well can make things less comfortable. My friend had trouble with I think the rear seats on that, so he would request the front (we were using single rider).
 
My son is 6'4", he looks like a hockey stick. Super tall, skinny and large feet. He has issues with the rides that the posters above mentioned:

Space Mountain: do not sit in the 1st row
Test Track: Ask for front middle
7D: he was cramped but fit ok
IaSM: he was quite cramped, kind of folded his legs over each other.
 
I am 6'7", 265 lbs and was able to fit well enough in all 28 rides we did last week across the four parks of WDW. A couple of them were a squeeze but there wasn't a single ride that I was unable to do or felt unsafe on. The only rides I didn't have time to try were:
  • Remy’s Ratatouille
  • Frozen Ever After
  • Tower of Terror
  • The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
  • Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover
  • Living With the Land
  • Journey Into Imagination With Figment
  • Mission: SPACE
  • Toy Story Mania
 
Most of the rides are for the kiddies , because it is a kiddy ride, but yes big boys can ride too, but considering comfortable, nothing at Disney is For big boys & girls. got to Suck up and ride, and take plain relievers for the back, knees and feet, and have a good time.
 

I am five and a half feet and 116 lbs (of barely contained Hebrew fury!), and I fit wonderfully on every ride. Seriously, no issues AT ALL.

So I’m guessing your boys will be just fine. 😉

Whatever some of you tall folks ate as children must have been something my parents forbid me to have!
 
Barnstormer is rough. I let my 10 year old daughter ride alone because I can barely fit at 6'2".
 
My 6'4 stepdad wasn't allowed to ride 7DMT because they wouldn't let him put his leg on the other side of the car (he was next to my small daughter who wasn't using much legroom) and he couldn't really fit his legs in otherwise.... but we were able to pixie dust his missed FP into something for all of us.... but that was in the before times....
