The CM was horrendously rude, told him he couldn't do it. Made him get OUT of the car, with everyone watching. I was astonished to hear this had happened, since, frankly, I don't think I have EVER had an experience of a CM being rude at all, let alone this bad. I'm afraid he won't set foot on that ride ever again after that experience. Hopefully there is more leg room in the new cars... One thing to remember with Mulholland and Thunder Mtn, to name a couple, the rides with lap bars: don't ride it beside a child or small person, as the bar will be up at your height, leaving a big gap over their laps.

A lot of riders like to raise their hands up high as they go through the caverns, but I'm half-convinced that if I did that I'd break my arm on the "rocks" above. Then again, I'm probably just being paranoid and the ceiling probably isn't as low or as hard as it looks.

Originally Posted By alphabetmom My Husband is 6'7", and used to way 408, Space Mountain is the only ride he didn't fit on. Now he is 300 and Space Mountain is a very tight fit, he prefers not to ride it, even after the remodel. I am not a Disney expert,but I think the cars are the same.
