We know how important it is for you to have a magical vacation! One of the tools we use to plan our visits to Universal Orlando Resort is their height requirement guide. We would never want one of our readers to get to the park and be disappointed because they are denied entry to an attraction. 

We have compiled a whole list of the attractions and the height requirements below! Also, take a look at the disclaimer from Universal Parks: 

“To ensure you have a vacation that’s both fun and safe, certain rides and attractions at our theme parks have restrictions based on your height. All attractions also have health and safety warning signs posted at their entrance. Make sure you read the signs while you’re in the park, and find out which rides are right for you and your family before you go. If you suspect your health could be at risk for any reason, or that you could aggravate a pre-existing condition of any kind, do not ride.”- Universal Parks & Resorts
