Another Height Restriction topic...

^Is that about Majestic Springs? I have heard a confirmation somewhere that that was openning next year, but i can't remember where. Now, i haven't heard anything about how it is coming along.

Also, look at things on the bright side, Sky Trek Tower will always be taller than the other rides, allowing us to see everything. That is the one downfall to Cedar Point. Rides go higher than their observation tower and you don't feel like your above the park. Just a small thing to be happy about.

Speaking of height restrictions. Im talking about how tall you have to be to go on a ride. Yea, since when do rides have 6'4 height restrictions for people. I saw it on a couple of rides. Or is this another one of those things that have been around for a long time and I didnt know about it?

by **Trailblazer Tony** on November 6th, 2005, 3:03 am

^What rides is this for? That is 64 inches tall.

^ I think one of them was kingda ka, nut I forgot the other ones.

6'4" height restrictions are not how tall you have to be to ride, it is that you cannot be taller than that to ride. The height restriction for Deja Vu is like that. It is pretty much you have to be 54" to ride but not more than 64". It is a safety issue.

The 6'4" height restriction is on the inverted tracks right? People who are that tall are too tall for the seats, they are in danger of head injuries because they are RIGHT below the track. It's been around a while, not sure how long though. And 6'4" is 80 inches, not 64.

Thats what I meant. If dejavu is like that then I may have a problem.

No, it has to do with the way the OTSRs fit to your body. King Chaos also has a maxiumum height.

obviously it is not inverted tracks necauses Batman does not have a height restriction like that.

Deja Vu's height maximum is 76 inches and vertical velocity's is 80 inches. Just to let you guys know. Sorry about the bad math earlier.

by **basketballa1344** on November 6th, 2005, 3:07 pm

76 in is 6'4" and 80 in is 6'8"

Some employee at V2 told me if you are taller than the maxium height you could hit the concrete with your feet when the ride is screaming through the ride.

by **ragingbullchick** on November 6th, 2005, 10:30 pm

^I don't think so. Isn't that why the floor drops down on Batman, S:UF, and other inverted coasters?

by **Raging Bull 4 life** on November 6th, 2005, 10:31 pm

i'm referring to v2 only.

by **Shockwavegirl** on November 6th, 2005, 10:58 pm

Batman, and S:UF are the only inverted coasters where the floor drops down. All other inverteds in the park....Vu and V2 don't, and the train screams through both of those stations. And as far as I know, Batman and S:UF don't have max height restrictions. So that makes sense, that there would be a danger for the tall people to scream through the station when the floor doesn't drop down.

Which leads me to wonder why the station floor wasn't designed to drop on a ride that makes several high speed passes through the station.

by **Raging Bull 4 life** on November 6th, 2005, 11:01 pm

^ Totally false with Vu. The floor does come down.

by **Binks Drake** on November 6th, 2005, 11:01 pm

uh...actually Vu's floor does drop down...

Ouch! Never been on it so I dont know if this is true.

by **Binks Drake** on November 6th, 2005, 11:04 pm

I doubt it. I'm fairly tall and my feet don't even com close to the V2 floor, there's probably another reason.

by **Raging Bull 4 life** on November 6th, 2005, 11:05 pm

I wouldn't try it if i was over the height limit. If that's not it binks then mabye their heads won't be protected by the headrest.

by **FRD714** on November 6th, 2005, 11:07 pm

How tally are you guys? Im 6'1 so im sure it wouldnt be a problem.

by **Raging Bull 4 life** on November 6th, 2005, 11:09 pm

I'm 5'8 but my nephew is like 6' 4

by **rct2wizard360** on November 6th, 2005, 11:33 pm

I'm almost sure V2 dosen't have a maximum height limit. (don't quote me on that) But if you've ever been on Deja Vu. You can easily see that a taller height could come in contact with many of the rides mechanical parts and whatnot. Making taller people, more prone to injury than us not so tall ones are on that Vekoma. :lol:

by **Raging Bull 4 life** on November 6th, 2005, 11:34 pm

I'm pretty sure you can hit a few support parts while riding Vu.

by **mschulz5** on November 6th, 2005, 11:42 pm

I'm almost positive that when V2 opened, they made it clear that there was a height limit of 80". It could've changed since then, though.
