Safety is the number one concern at Universal theme parks. We want all guests and visitors of the Universal theme parks to have fun and be safe. At each ride entrance, there is posted signs with the height requirements for riders along with any health warnings. At the front of each park is also a board showing all the heights of the rides in one place so you can easily see which ride your child may be tall enough for.
A Team Member at each ride will check the child's height and let you know if they are OK to ride. A Team Member further in the que may also ask to recheck their height before allowing them to board. This is always for their safety. I suggest talking to your children in advance if there's a chance they may not be tall enough to ride an attraction they're excited for. Remind them why the height requirement is there and assure them it's for their safety. If the aren't tall enough for a ride, the gift shops are a great way to still experience it and bring home a souvenir.
Attractions also have warnings posted if needed for pregnant woman or those with certain health concerns. Always check the signage before entering a que if you're concerned. The Team Members are also there to help if you have any questions about the ride.
The follow is the list of all attractions at both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida. Happy riding!
