Good to know before you measure

Measuring your child

The operator provides a height-check station at the front of the park. Check early, then follow the requirements and staff measurement at each attraction. A height match does not establish that a ride is operating or that all other boarding conditions are met.

Companions and other boarding rules

Height eligibility is one part of boarding. Age, posture, restraint fit and companion requirements still apply. At a companion or maximum-height boundary, ask staff to confirm the posted rule. Attractions listed separately for a staff check are outside the numeric checker totals.

Plan around the height thresholds

START WITH THE LADDER

Choose the next milestone

Tap a height to see which rides meet that threshold. Check the result for companion and closure notes before choosing your priorities.

KEEP A FAMILY ALTERNATIVE

Check the other attraction rules

The no minimum list still carries walking, seating, companion and children-only conditions. Attractions needing staff confirmation have a separate list.

Why are some attractions outside the checker totals?

The staff-check list keeps attractions visible when the operator gives only a qualitative boarding floor, conflicting rules, an uncertain current identity or a future attraction. They are not counted as unrestricted or marked too short. Ask staff about the specific attraction. This checker compares confirmed numeric height rules and does not establish operating status.
