Mobile Anyone had difficulty fitting on some rides?

More thinking in terms of being squished.
Hubby is 6”4 very long legs.
I have quite big bum and hips.
Worried about some of the rides.

Anyone had any experience

Whilst I don't myself I do know that the vast majority of rides have a test seat outside the entrance for you to check. In relation to height, the only ride I can think of off the top of my head that has a maximum restriction is Rip Rocket in Universal Studios but that's 6'6".

I won't ask your size as it's none of my business but there are a few threads that have asked this question several times.
This one has had several replies. I am pretty confident that you are going to be absolutely fine and will find reassurance here. You can find some youtube videos on people discussing what they were able to use and what they found difficult ( based particularly on where they carried their weight).

Check out Pammie Plus Parks on youtube & facebook. She provides great advice for Pooh size visitors. Lots of people post questions on her facebook page including taller people so hopefully someone can help you there.

Posts are made judgement free there too which is nice.

Quoted from Google

at night, when we lay down, the discs reabsorb fluid and plump up again — which explains why we shrink by as much as half an inch during the course of a day, only to regain the height overnight. But as we get older, the discs flatten slightly, permanently reducing our height.

Lol

That's interesting. I was measured during a recent hospital visit and I'm 2 inches shorter than I was 2 years ago.

I find the seats on star tours a bit tight really digs into the hips, found it hard to get on the seatbelt but it is long enough no issue just a bit tricky than others.
