Tall people!

I have read that Splash Mountain is a bit uncomfortable for taller people. I am 5ft 11 and my dh is 6ft 5 and I am keen to know of any other rides that we might struggle to sit comfortably on!
Thanks

Disclaimer: I am 5 foot 3 inches, so this is a total non-issue for me.

Taller people have sometimes said that they feel the need to 'duck' in Space Mountain. You can't really see anything, but apparently you can sense the supports whooshing by uncomfortably close to your head.

I'm 6'3" and yes, i feel the need to duck on Space Mountain even though i know nothing is going to hit my head.

However on Splash Mountain i didnt notice much of a problem. I just ducked so i wouldnt get completely soaked, much to the displeasure of the people behind me.

I'd say that most Disney Rides can have some legroom issues with taller people, but not annoyingly so.

I'm 6'3". The biggest issue on Splash is leg room for me. As for Space, I don't duck; it just adds to the excitement of the ride feeling like I could be decapitated at any moment.

As a 6'4 20yo, I have found no problems with any of the Disney rides. Splash is quite comfortable. On Space Mountain, when I sit cross legged at my ankles, my knees hang out about a half foot on each side of the train. The CM laughs at me.

No problems whatsoever.

I'm 6'2" and I duck on space mountain...this stems from when I was 8 I was riding SM when the lights came on and they e stopped the ride, which is incredibly scary when you're 8 and can now see all the supports

I am not very tall,but I am very wide. I have a tough time fitting in to the rockets on Space Mountain. Even though I am not that tall I can feel the beems over head.

My husband is 6 ft. 4 in. tall and he has never complained on any of the rides at Disney. If he's a little too tall he just moves both legs apart instead of trying to keep them together. Space mountain, he takes the front car which is fine. Other than that, no problems anywhere!~

I am 5"9 (not the tallest, but still pretty tall!) and I had no problems on Splash Mountain. Space Mountain though was a tight squeeze fitting into the cars--I sat in the back of one-- and I was kind of afraid to raise my arms up as we went over the drops. But other than that I had no problems.:)
