Height Restrictions

[hollyferry]

At Great Adventure again today. Everytime we've come so far this season, we've ridden the Runway Mine Train at least once a trip.

My daughter is 44" without shoes. Her height has been checked on the ride previously and she was ok to go.

Here today, and we were told she was too small to ride it and we had to exit. The height pole was like 3" taller than her.

After we exited, we checked her on that sign and she was tall enough.

The height pole had red stripes on it.

I'm all for safety, and didn't put up a fuss (though my daughter cried)...but it seems odd to me that she was tall enough less than a week ago wearing the same shoes and now she's not.

And I honestly didn't see if the end of the pole was on the ground or not.

Next time might be easiest to go to the ride check station next to the fountain this way they will measure her and give a wristband depending on her height this way no questions asked or situations like this happen.

should have made a complaint at GR. how is it one week your daughter good, then the following week no good. unbelievable.

I will definitely have to check the ride check station! Thank you!

I know they had similar height requirement changes in the past with Blackbeard's and Flying Wave changing height restrictions based on the manufacturers' changes in requirements (usually resulting from an incident in another park on the same ride).
