Height requirements for all Walt Disney World rides, attractions
TRON Lightcycle / Run , the latest roller coaster opening to the public at Magic Kingdom on April 4 means another height requirement for a Disney World ride.
While the majority of attractions at the four theme parks and two water parks at do not have height requirements, there are more than two dozen rides that do have minimum height requirements. And, the reason is safety. In most cases the height is needed for the safety bar or harness to be in place and secure the passenger in the ride vehicle.
A trip to Walt Disney World with young children inevitably brings up the famous question– How tall do you have to be to ride (put in name of attraction here)? Meeting those height requirements opens up new experiences and and new adventures on trips. For children, it can mean they can finally sit next to their parents on the big rides, or now can join their siblings to share the experience.
So, before you get to Disney World, measure any kids so you know which attractions you might have to wait for until next trip and avoid any disappointment.
