Ride Height and Weight Requirements at Hersheypark
RIDE HEIGHT AND WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS:
When designing and building a ride, the manufacturers strive to design the ride so that the most amount of people (approx. 90% of the population) will be able to fit inside the ride vehicle (including height and weight requirements), and make certain the safety restraints operate correctly. Unfortunately the 90% does not quite cover all the population.
The following rides may be affected by these requirements:
- Fahrenheit (roller coasters)
- The Trailblazer (roller coasters)
- Comet (roller coasters)
- Sooperdooperlooper (roller coasters)
- Wildcat (roller coasters)
- Lightning Racer (roller coasters)
- Storm Runner (roller coasters)
- Great Bear (will allow a guest with a chest measurement of 54 inches to ride) (roller coasters)
- The Skyview (ski lift ride)
- The Claw (flat spin ride)
- Reese's Xtreme Cup Challenge (dark ride)
- East Coast Waterworks (water slide)
- Waverider (surf ride)
At the entrances to these rides you will find signage that will indicate the following:
THIS RIDE MAY NOT ACCOMMODATE GUESTS OF A LARGER SIZE
(HEIGHT AND/OR WEIGHT)
DUE TO THE CONFIGURATION OF THE SAFETY SYSTEM
This signage will allow you to make a decision prior to waiting
in line.
