Walt Disney World theme parks and water parks feature a variety of rides and attractions for guests of all ages. However, some attractions have specific height requirements guests must meet before riding.

Height requirements are in place for guest safety, and guests shouldn’t try to “boost” their child’s height in order to ride. Children who do not meet the height requirements may not be able to safely fit within the ride’s seat or safety restraints.
We’d also note that a ride’s height requirement is always indicative of the ride’s thrill level. For example, Rise of the Resistance has the same height requirement as the Tower of Terror (40 inches). But, we’d say the Tower of Terror is the much more intense ride.
