When Viper first opened I remember waking up at 5 in the morning because I was all hyped to ride it and I didn't leave until 9:30. When I got there I was even more hyped, it looked like the most terrifying ride on earth, but the line for Viper was all the way down the hill it ws over 90 and the whole building where the line is was full, but that didn't lower my hype. I waited outside the building for almost two hours. But when I got up to the building they had a thing to see if people was tall enough. When I stepped up it, it showed that I was to short and I cried for an hour after that. The rest of my family was tall enough and they was going to make me wait by the exit. But I cried so hard that I made them feel bad so nobody rode it. Has anybody else been to short to ride a coaster?
Actually, I think we've all had that problem at one time or another. Unless you were 54" tall at birth! ;)

a while back when i first started getting into coaster i was to small for the king cobra at pki, but i just left and came back like 3 hrs later and got it then.
I was too small to ride Grande Prix at Big Cheif's. It was a go-kart track and I was about 2 inches short.

Back in the 70's I was too short to ride the Jumbo Jet at CP. SO being an industrious youngster, the next year a brought along a pair of shoes with the big heels and soles(being the 70's and all). So when I went to ride the Jumbo Jet, I just put on my shoes and walked right in. I can't say I was all that thrilled by the ride, and I couldn't understand what the fuss was all about.
I remember back when I was to scared to ride any coaster, can't believe I ever was. Any way my family was going to ride Mean Streak at CP, now I was about 48" at the time. We made it to the station and they measured me, just in case I decided to ride. Well I was tall enough, but I still didn't ride.
We then went over to Cedar Creek Mine Ride. I got to the station they put me on the metal platform with the metal swinging thing, and I was to short. My mom sat with me at the exit while everybody else rode.
Can you believe it, I could ride a 160' tall coaster, but I couldn't get on a coaster that was know higher than the tree I sat under.

"nope" is a creative answer! Ok, I'm over it.
When I was 5, we went to Elitch Gardens and I was too short to ride Mr. Twister and I threw a big fit. The next time I went back there, I was plenty tall, it was 1995, and the whole park was shut down :(

Ow! My lap bar IS down all the way.

When I was four I was an 1/4 inch to short to ride Big Thunder Mountain. I was so mad and have yet to have been back to Disney to ride it.

I was too short to ride Top Gun by an inch. But that didn't stop me! I rode it twice and I loved it. But the third time i wasn't so lucky...one of the ride ops glared at me and asked me to step off, I did and guess what happened??? I was too short...:( So my mom rode it without me and i was really sad for the rest of the day.

My favorite Coaster is named after Poop, and I actually like Boomerangs! What is wrong with me?

Don't worry, Anthony...you ain't missing much.
When I first went on Viper though (I don't mean to rub it in your face), I was about a quarter of an inch too short, but the ride op was in a good mood and didn't make a big deal about it. I was terrified as we pulled out of the station, but it was so worth it. Although, in hindsight (and in the presence of some B&Ms in my track record), it doesn't shine so brightly.
