How do I know which rides my child can go on at Walt Disney World or Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure?
Since all of the rides restrictions go by height, I suggest looking at Disney’s Magical Beginnings “Attraction Height Chart” before you get to the park. For Universal Orlando Resort, check out the height charts here. As a family rule, we go to the attraction’s website before we head out so my younger son knows what he can ride. I can assure you that it is a sad day for a kid who is hopefully standing under that ruler – only to discover he or she cannot ride as his or her big brother or sister breezes by. The tears can be avoided by knowing the requirements ahead of time. In general, 48 inches is the standard height requirement for the larger coasters.
