How measuring actually works
Ask Guest Relations for current height-measurement and wristband procedures. A wristband does not guarantee that later measurements or checks will be skipped.
Attraction staff make the final eligibility determination. Meeting a minimum alone does not establish permission to ride: any maximum height, accompanied-rider requirement, restraint fit and other posted restrictions apply separately.
Use an honest home measurement for planning, and follow the park’s measurement instructions when you arrive.
