Disney Rides Height Requirements

There are numerous rides throughout Disneyland that have no height restrictions. However, there are some that do. Here is a listing of Disneyland height requirements.

While most rides and attractions in Mickey's Toontown are for any height, children need to be 35 inches in order to ride Gadget’s Go Coaster which is a mild roller coaster ride. Located next to Fantasyland is the Matterhorn Bobsleds. Once again, riders need to be at least 35 inches tall in order to enjoy this roller coaster type ride where participants can experience speed, jerky movement and the Abominable Snowman.

Headed over to Critter Country? Splash Mountain is one of the most popular rides in the park. Based on the movie Song of the South, this water flume ride is for guests 40” or taller.
