Expedition Everest height restriction?

[dvcnut39]

I did a search on this topic and could not find anything. I was wandering if anyone knows what the minimum height requirement is for EE? My little one loves to ride everything, but she is only 40 1/2'" tall. Thanks for the help.

There has not been an official announcement yet, but I would assume it would be very similar to Rockin Rollercoaster at 48".

I would have thought it would be lower than R'n'RC. Remember that it doesn't use Over-The-Shoulder-Restraints, and has no inversions. I'm going to hazard a guess at 40" or 42", because those restraints look like they'll pin you in quite tight in conjunction with the seperator and side-wall.

I would think your estimation is correct. 48” seems to be more common on coasters with inversions and over the shoulder restraints.

that is what i was going to say................ i would just go by the BTM restrictions.

I think the restraint on this looks more like Space Mountain (44 inches) rather than Thunder Mountain (40 inches) so I'm going to guess 44. Here's the list I keep on my PC of the different restrictions (I apologize if they are incorrect, I got them from Disneyworld.com I think)

Rock N Rollercoaster 48 inches
Primeval Whirl 48 inches
Space Mountain 44 inches
Mission Space 44 inches
Test Track 40 inches
Splash Mt. 40 inches
Tower of Terror 40 inches
Dinosaur 40 inches
Star Tours 40 inches
Thunder Mountain 40 inches
Soarin 40 inches
Body Wars 40 inches
Stitch 38 inches
Kali River Rapids 38 inches
Barnstormer 35 inches

If I remember correctly, Disney tends to start out with a high height restriction in the beginning of a new ride. For example, Countdown to extinction and Splash Mountain were 48 inches at the beginning. Once everything settles into place they then lower the restriction accordingly. I suppose it is better for them to error on the side of caution.

The height restrictions won't be posted until they are almost through with T&A (Test and Adjust). Also, this a new seat restraint system for Disney.

Okeechobee Rampage at Cypress Garden's looks like it has the same restraint system, and that has a height requirement of: 42 inches (36-42 must ride with adult), although it is a fairly tame coaster compared to E:E.

Disney may want to raise the limit to 44, to make sure it gets the "correct audience", or get rid of the (36-42) rule, but for the moment, I'm sticking with 42"

Thanks again for all of your help. As always, you guys came through. I was worried that EE would have the 48" height requirement.

One of the things to point out about the EE restraints, they have individual restraints for each seat. This would lead me to believe that the limit would be lower then 48' as well. Having that the restraint can be adjusted to the each guest instead of the way it is for some attractions where it only goes down as far as the biggest person in the row. This is just a thought maybe doesn't mean anything at all.

The Restraint system resembles that of the mummy at IOA, and it has a hight requirement of 48"

Ogryn, I have never seen that photo before. Where did you get it?
