Goes by height, but that is just for safety. Some rides are still not good for some kids. Took my 4 year old on Dinosaur since he was tall enough and he was terrified. He is really in to dinosaurs but the ride is pitch black and pretty frightening. I took him when he was 2 and he did mostly everything he was big enough for but was a little tentative with really dar rides. Rides like Peter Pan, Haunted Mansion, pirates and the Tiki Room have been known to scare little kids. If they are good with The darkness on Peter Pan than try for the others. We just got back from WDW and my 2 year old was fine with all of the rides he could get on and had no issues with loud noises or darkness like his brother did at that age.

When my daughter was 1 she loved the carousel, it was her favorite ride! On a trip last year when she was almost 3, she absolutely hated it! She also didn't like any of the rides where you wear 3D glasses. Since then she has ridden the carousel at the zoo and the fair and can't wait to ride it again at MK. We're headed back again at the end of September so hopefully she enjoys the 3D rides as well.

My son is two now, but our last trip he was 22 months and these are the rides he enjoyed. Each kid is different so this is just based on him and also my daughter who rode the same rides at 18 months.I'll break it down by park:
MK:Buzz Lightyear,Carousel of Progress,Country Bear Jamboree,Dumbo,Haunted Mansion,Small World,Jungle Cruise,Aladdin Carpets,Peter Pan's Flight,POTC,Tiki Room,Tom Sawyer Island,Winnie the Pooh Ride,Walt Disney Railroad
AK:Finding Nemo Show,Tough to be a Bug,TriceraTop Spin,Kilimanjaro Safari
Epcot:Journey Into Imagination,Maelstrom,Seas with Nemo & Friends,Turtle Talk with Crush,Gran Fiesta Tour
HS:Beauty and the Beast Show,Great Movie Ride,Honey I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure, Muppet Vision 3-D,Playhouse Disney,Toy Story Mania,Voyage of the Little Mermaid
As you can see the park for most to do with a two year old by far is Magic Kingdom for actual rides.

I would say at 2, kids can probably ride most anything they are tall enough for ( a 2YO is definitely not going on Tower or Dinosaur). At that age, they don't always know that they should be afraid of certain things. My son rode Haunted Mansion at DL or WDW when he was 11 months, 18 months, 2, 3, 4, and 4 with no problem. Then on the last trip right before he turned 5, he decided he was scared of ghosts. What?

Well what do you all think about a 4 yo who will be 40-41 inches when we go? She is not scared of loud noises or anything but she can be afraid of the dark sometimes. I am thinking she does NOT need to be on Dinosaur or Tower or Space Mountain. I would be pushing it on Splash Mountain...What do you all think? Am I just being a concerned mommy?

Check out the Disney website where they have rides/attractions suggestions for toddlers. ( I think they still have it).

Here's my own personal list of 40" rides, starting with the tamest and getting more thrilling:
1. Test Track - although this one is up in the air now, it's pretty much like riding in a car
2. Soarin' - gentle and I don't think kids realize they how high up they go
3. Big Thunder
4. Splash
5. Tower - Intimidating to walk up to with the screaming from people on the ride and the theming is so darn good and spooky!
17. Dinosaur - This ride is VERY loud and VERY dark! The on-ride photo for my 33YO brother-in-law was him basically curled up in the fetal position.
Space is 44" at WDW; it's only 40" at DLR.

my now 5 year old daughter went on 2 trips when she was 4. She loved both Splash Mountain, and Big Thunder as well as Soarin and Test Track. While she is tall enough for Dinosaur, I didn't take her on that one, didn't want to ruin a good thing.
My suggestion... look up some of the rides you are questionable about taking her on. You tube is great for this. See her reaction and then let her decide when you actually get there. But at least if she has seen them ahead of time, she has the basic idea of the ride in her head and she can judge if it is too scarry.
