I'm sorry, sir, but your kid is too short to ride...

When will people learn that the height requirement is a SAFETY guideline and MUST be followed! Ok. So, I was standing in the single riders line for Rockin' Roller Coaster at Disney's Hollywood Studios. There is a father with his two kids. One kid is definitely tall enough, the other was too short to ride. The cast member could easily slide his hand over her head and under the measuring post. Here's where the SG moment comes in....

" Why can't she ride?"

"She is not tall enough. See?"

"Oh, but she is close enough!"

"I'm sorry, sir. She cannot ride. She needs to be this tall in order to SAFELY ride this coaster."

"But she's been on every other ride here!"

At this point, he is getting very loud and angry at the cast member. I stepped in, being a former Coaster operator at another park, and explained to the man that it is a safety reason. Coaster designers set height restrictions for a reason. Your child is under the "safe zone" and could get hurt on the ride (or even worse, fall out) as it is not specifically designed for people her height.

He still doesn't get it and said that she will be fine and he will hold on to her. At this point, a supervisor is there and escorts him and his children out since he was holding up the ride (sort of) and such.....

The sad part is, if he did manage to get on despite all these warnings, and something DID happen to the child, he'd turn around and try to sue Disney over it.
"DURP!! This ride was too dangerous!!!"
