tuxedoman52 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I notice that on KI's website, there are "maximum heights" for some rides (mostly on rides with OTSRs or inverted coasters). I no longer ride Drop Tower (80" Height Limit) because it is extremely uncomfortable. I can still bear Invertigo (78" Height Limit) but it cause some pain in my shoulders. My question is, are these actually EVER enforced? Or are they just warnings for the comfort of the height inclined. Personally, being 6'6" is definitely uncomfortable on some rides, but I've only ever been kicked off of one ride (Wicked Twister). I've never had anyone measure me because they can tell I might be over the "height limit". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Certain rides have height restrictions due to clearance issues. I can think of a kiddie coaster at a certain park you couldn't reasonably fit in and another in that same park where you could badly hurt your feet and ankles. Height restrictions on both of those rides? One enforces itself--if you cannot fit--the other is rigidly enforced. Why do I suspect hotel/motel beds are also problems? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themuska11 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Wicked Twister would not be a ride id want to ride if my i didn't have to jump even a little into my seat. Those floors don't drop! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 There's an Ace in the park and it is enforced well there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I am also 6'6". I've ridden Wicked Twister multiple times on multiple trips, and never even been questioned. Same with Invertigo. Never tried to ride Delirium, which I know I am too tall for, but have no desire to ride, so I cannot attest one way or another. Rip Ride Rockit at Universal also has a height limit, ridden it multiple times as well without question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vortexfan Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I saw someone get denied a ride on Maverick for being too tall. When seated, it looked as if their entire head was above the headrest. If the ride ops didn't catch that I can't imagine the ride would have been too comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could easily drag your feet going up the lift.One dude let me ride it after I told him I rode it before and would hold my feet up. Cool kid.

malem Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 ^ What if, due to accident or reflex, you weren't able to maintain that riding position? Had you injured yourself, the (subsequently former) ride op would have been in lots of trouble. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 My feet can drag on Flying Ace in one particular spot, on the turnaround coming out of the station and turning toward the lift hill (the catwalk under the ride begins its incline ever so slightly earlier than the track does, it seems). Since it's just that one spot and I have several inches of clearance throughout the course of the ride, I won't refrain from riding it, but with us having another full-circuit Invert now, I rarely see a reason to spend my time riding it... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
