If she is tall enough, is there something wrong with that?

A couple of years ago we were getting on Big Thunder with my daughter who was exactly 40 inches. The person measuring was on a bit of a slope and my daughter looked about 1/2 inch too short. We pointed out she was on a slope and she reluctantly let her on. The next time through I popped a pony tail on the top of my daughters head. No one squished the pony tail to measure her all day and she cleared 40 inches easily.
Have fun!

That "Wild Mouse" type of coaster is scary...it feels like you are going right off the edge then you twist & spin. I think they got this one right. Other parks have similar restrictions on these types of coasters...they have a weight limit, too (because of the restraint system).

Speaking of height restrictions....
On ToT, have they made any changes to the seating with the one bar that goes across the whole row? I am a bigger guy, around 190 and my 5'1" wife is about 100 pounds. Obviously, when we sit together on the ride, the bar isn't all that snug for her, so she just flys about as it goes up and down.
I thought I heard that they may change it to accomodate lard-a@$@ like myself with little wives?Can anyone elaborate?

Sorry I was a way for two days so I will be responding to a bunch of replies in a row.
Do you know what the weight limit is?

In my opinion I also agree that five inches is pushing it... there are so many things at stake.... lives, jobs, families, lawsuits!.... a fuss over 1/4 an inch makes perfect sense to me... it's so close and must be frusterating... but anything below that... :lookaroun

No.......I haven't been on the one in WDW, but in Hershey they had a belt restraint fully opened. You could check in private to see if it closed.

Do they have something in the front of the parks that you can measure with so you don't have to go through the fuss of even trying to get on if she is not big enough. I mean why get her hopes up if there is no need?

As far as I know, the rides with height restrictions all have a measuring sign (or CM with a measuring stick) located before you enter the line. The only problem arises when someone is REALLY close, and the second measure at loading is different. (This could be to one CM flattening hair, removing hat, etc, where the first didn't.)
The only time I've seen people being turned away is when they've managed to slip by the first CM, or did a little tippy toe without the CM noticing.![]()

I find it interesting that half these posts aren't railing on about how you're teaching your child to lie and cheat. Another board I frequent has this topic come up regularly, and there are a lot of posts like that.
And please, I am NOT laying any kind of judgment or hostility to anyone here or there, I just find in intiguing that two different groups of Disney fans look at the issue differently, that's all.

First off, I would not ask my child to lie or cheat.
Second, if you go back and read my post all I asked was if my daughter is off by a 1/4 of an inch would they let her on. I am not trying to cheat the system, I just merely wanted to know what to expect when I got there. I did not want to have my 3 year old daughter crying because she could not go on. I would rather not get on the line.
Third, if you are going to judge me please read my post first so you can do it correctly.
