From the guide books, I've gathered the information (below) regarding rides with height restrictions. I'll be traveling in June with my 3 children - 2 of which are over 40 inches (and 3 yo) so qualify to ride some of these rides.

:confused: Questions: Are there any height restricted rides my 2 children can ride on together (without me)? I'm concerned about whether or not they'll be strapped in. Also if the ride might be too scary.

I know there are some rides (like the tea cups) that make me sick - too much spinning - but they would love. Can they go on these rides together without me?

Or is it NEVER appropriate to allow them to ride without me - height restricted or not?

Re: Autopia, since there are 4 of us, and none of them meet the minimum requirement to ride alone, how does this work? Do I space them out in line? Or can one child wait while I ride with the other 2? Or do we have to skip that ride all together?

I think this answers your question for all of the rides- if none of your children is 54" tall, they can't ride alone. The new policy for all rides is that children need to be 54" to ride alone.

I can't think of any places that I think would be safe for two young children to wait while you ride with another child.
