I'm waiting for my grandson to meet the height requirement so I can take him on Soaring, he is so close.

I know how you feel. My daughter is an inch away from being able to ride the Matrerhorn. I'm thinking of buying her platforms before our visit in a couple weeks. - Marieeezy  588.9 #186 7:23PM
Did you try playing tug o war with him to get the extra height? - sharkbait  423.3 #300 7:24PM
My daughter and I stuffed napkins in his shoes and put a hat on his head and it still didn't work, am I crazy or what? - CaptnSparrow  559.6 #198 7:25PM
Too funny. Our youngest finally made the height for Calif Screaming last year after waiting and waiting. She rode in the front row with Mom and the rest of us followed. What a great memory and a great time she had. She's hooked on the coaster. - SETumbo  295.7 #637 7:27PM
Bought my niece platform sandals worked like a charm! - Minderella  261.6 #899 7:30PM
I always feel bad for those parents who wait in line and find out that their children are too short right before they get on the attraction - BaseballMickey_CM  2851.3 #15 7:31PM
It's so much fun when they are finally tall enough to go on all the rides! - topdisneymom  239.7 #1118 7:32PM
I applaud your efforts! - sharkbait  423.3 #300 7:33PM
Soaring is such a mild ride I don't understand the height deal - CaptnSparrow  559.6 #198 7:40PM
If you go backstage and see how high you really are then you will understand. That thing moves so much then you think, I was very surprised.... - GoofyJoe  1864.1 #41 7:43PM
Oh what was  is that my daughter road splash and other coasters while we were there and the guy at soaring was pushing her head down and kept saying she was to short he was so ful of it!!! Made me mad - eeyoreNfam  58.5 #3593 7:46PM
As someone who has worked a coaster the hight is set by the manufacture we have to inforce it because in a world where people are sue happy the parks have to cover themself. Also sometimes the hight is set for evac or walk of reasons. They might need to be able to stand and reach a step or something and need the height. Now as a mom of 3 I understand wanting your child to ride. - Lifeguardmom  292.5 #657 7:51PM
My daughter really wanted to get on TOT they checked her twice while in waiting in line they made her put her feet together and raise her arms up in the air 3 CM had to check her in the end they let her ride it :) - QueenBianca  108.6 #2925 7:52PM
Thanks for the info that sheds new light on the matter - CaptnSparrow  559.6 #198 8:00PM
LGM I understand rules but my thing was. Was that the guy was pushing her head down to make her bend her knees and said nope she wasn't tall enough!!! I didn't make a seen or anything the guy was just being a very not nice person!!! Didn't get his daily dose of starbucks or something!!!! - eeyoreNfam  58.5 #3593 8:05PM
Stick some extra socks in his shoes, he'll be fine  - micamouse89  57.4 #3609 8:59PM
spike his hair or put lifts in his shoes! :) - PinkyMouse  80.8 #3266 9:12PM
Mine is only able to go on Matterhorn.. He's around 37.5 inches or so. I can't wait til he's 40 inches, you have no idea!!! He already wants to go on Screamin... ha! - Leesha  650.3 #163 9:16PM
