Height Isn’t Nothing but a Number
Every major thrill ride has a minimum height requirement, and for excellent reasons. However, some bright people out there either don’t see those reasons or don’t care. One woman, for instance, blatantly ignored Space Mountain’s height requirement and slapped out a pair of high heels for her son.
Disney employees are far from fools and they’re used to tricks like that, so the Space Mountain attendant was onto the high heels right away and asked the mom and her son to step out of line. Of course, the mom wouldn’t leave willingly and had to argue with the attendant for twenty minutes. Want to hear the kicker about this whole situation? The kid had no desire to ride Space Mountain at all.
