Anyone know what the minimum height rules tend to be at the various amusement parks, I know its likely to vary a bit, but just wondered on a rough figure.

Dan Cossie

take AJs height and add a foot for the teacups

but normally it is about 5ft 7/8 or somethin

Stu.H

Its nowhere near that high!

LOL

Chip

iTrader: (3)

5ft 7???

You gotta be kidding

Im sure its FAR less than that, my ex was 5'3 and she never got turned away at any amusement park for being too short



I thought it was normally about 1.4 meters or something like that?

Dan Cossie

i think for some of the extreme rides you do have to be a bit taller than the others.....i maybe wrong though mate so dont take it as gospel

Stu.H

Yeh just had a look, 1.4metres is the tallest you need to be (most are less than this) and thats around 4ft 6

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Ah, nice one, will get the mrs to measure her kids then as it seems a good excuse to go if any of them are tall enough

Bit more interesting for me than legoland again

Dan Cossie

I'm not cursing because of that, it's just that i really wanted to go on tea cups




Stu - when my ankle get's better (hurt it big time at football last night)

i'm sure i've been on rollercoaster that are taller than 1.4m

thre's one at blackpool that a good hundred foot high, and what abot the one at thrope park that is visable from the motorway and looks like a mini webley

Chip

iTrader: (3)

I wouldnt give up the day job and rush straight into a career in comedy yet dojj mate

dojj

iTrader: (3)

how can roller coasters be less than 4 foot 6 tall then

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Just in case you genuinely didnt understand the question, its referring to the height of people riding the roller coaster.

dojj

iTrader: (3)

for clearing that up

i thoguht i was going a bit bonkers for a minute there and you were all talking about the little choochoo train rollercoasters for 2 years olds

Chip

iTrader: (3)

PMSL

sorry mate, thought you were trying to be funny

it was badly worded I guess!

Chip i went to Alton Towers last week. The best ride there is Rita imo. Awesome

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Ive not been since I was a teenager (about a decade and a half ago!) so Id really like to go back as I dont think i will EVER grow out of enjoying roller coasters!

dojj

iTrader: (3)

i may have read it a bit too literaly i suppose, you did ask what the minimum hieght for a roller coaster was, rather than the minimum hieght for allowed to get on the ride (normally by some plastic cut out of a policeman with his hand out to measure the height)

but yes, it's around the 4 foot 6 mark as it's all to do with the clamping on the seats for security reasons

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Yeash, I understand the reasons for it mate

Just need to get Nina to measure the lads now, and see if I have an excuse to go yet or need to start feeding them up

How tall is a "normal" 7 year old lad?

dave_si

Agreed, Air is pretty good too

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Glad im not the only "big kid" on here

32 and should know better, but so what!


Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional

aduz

i just knew AJ would get mentioned

1.4 meters seems to be the norm.

IMHO Thrope park is on par with Alton towers these days. Thrope park used to be rubbish but i went there last year and pleasantly surprised.

dojj

iTrader: (3)

have you got the "litle red book"?
no, not chairman mao's book
kids nowadays come with a red book and there are graphs on there to show you what "average" is plus and minus 50% of the population

if i get a chance i'll sho you when i get home but if anyone else has one they can probably list the heights (it goes all the way up to 20 year olds so by their reckoning, junior will be a stumpy little 5 foot 8

Chip

iTrader: (3)

No Dojj mate, I havent, these arent my kids, they're just "on loan"

Physio

I did too as soon as I read the thread title

pimp my child (with platforms to clear the hieght restrictions inculded )

IckleMissBish

I didn't manage to go on that when I went I thought Air was the best though, I loved it! I also liked the pinball one can't remember what it's called though. Oh and Oblivion rocks!

Chip you'll have a great time and if the kids are too small they usually do a queue jump thing where you can just go to the front and leave the kids there when you go on the ride

Porkie

iTrader: (1)

Chip, you will be fine for height mate....

some rides do have a maximum weight though so you may struggle.

best give them a call first to save a wasted day...

RichardPON

Air is quality - just search the vids on youtube.

Must be honest though. When I saw the thread title, I thought you wanted to know the height restrictions for one of your girlfriends!
