With Rider Switch, one adult can wait with the non-rider (or riders) while the rest of the party enjoys the attraction. When the other adult returns, they can supervise the non-riding Guests, and the waiting adult can board the attraction without ha

Below we will list all attractions and their height requirement.  Please remember that these requirements are not to make children sad because they are too short, they are not to inconvenient your trip, and they are not for guests to stuff their kids shoes so that they appear taller.  These height requirements are put into place to help keep your child safe!
