It also depends on where you shoulders sit, I think. I'm very tall, but I have long legs not a long torso. I can still ride.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.

Yes, the limit is 76" but it's not at your head, it's at your shoulder. However, if you feet can touch the ground before you leave, then they may take you off because there are two places where the track and obstacles are about the same ways a away.

Please keep your hands and arms inside the train at all times? I bet your fingers, and the folks who might get hit with them, will appreciate it. :wink:

I'm pretty sure it's at your head, not at your shoulders. They call it a height limit after all, not a shoulder limit. Your shoulder proportions might be a better indication to the amount of comfort you'll have on a ride with O.T.S.R.s, but the manufacturer doesn't care about people with exceptional shoulders.

Also, demon boy, are you talking about Déjà Vu or V2? Where do you think you’ll hit the track or obstacles? Things are farther away than they might appear at a glance. I’d agree with you if it’s V2. If someone’s feet can touch the floor when they sit then they should be taken off, but that would be an incredibly rare occurrence, and hopefully their height would have been noticed long before they sat down. I really can’t imagine someone who is under 76” and has legs long enough to strike structure with their feet on Déjà Vu.

I would never try sticking my hand up during the ride. :lol:

I just stuck my hand up last year as soon as I sat down to see how close I got. I was surprised because I always thought my feet touching the ground would be a problem first.

Ha! On Vu. I have a tendacy of letting go of my harness, but only after the first drop, because I hate the vibrating feeling on my wrists as you drop.

I've had my shoes gently tocuh the floor during V2 which freaked the crap out of me. I attempted to do it though, the way I usually sit they don't touch. All it did was wear out my soles, but it wouldn't do it again. But i'm 6'2" and have never come within a foot of the LIM's hitting my head, so i'm guessing neither has FRD.

Of course our heads are far from it, but our hands, kinda close.

That happens to me all the time. Once I rode it so much, that the 5th time I rode and hit the seat, it broke the skin. Nothing serious but it really hurt!

Also, I am 6' 4.5" and I am nervous about trying to ride DeJaVu. I grew about and inch from last year and last year was a very tight fit. I am just scared that I may never get to ride DeJaVu ever again :(

On Deja Vu, just ride in a B row and it'll help with that issue with your feet.

Is it more of the station platform...or other supports. I mean, 1/2 inch isn't that much of a difference. I guess I can always check when I sit down to see if i'm too tall.

Also what is row B. Is it the inside of the row or the outside seats?

That's what I though.

I usually sit there anyway because sitting in the last row on the outside is INSANE! It looks like nothing is around you and your 180 ft in the air...then diving down through all the supports! I love it!
