Stardust Racers - at least 48"
Constellation Carousel - No Height Requirement.
Hiccup's Wing Gliders - Minimum Height 40”
Dragon Racer's Rally - Minimum Height 48"

If you have family members who cannot or prefer not to ride a particular ride, all attraction queues have a family room near the boarding area. One parent waits with those who won’t ride while the other parent enjoys the ride. Afterward, they switch, and the second parent can ride without waiting in line. Those who wait in the family room can enjoy some television and air conditioning.

Say it with me: Universal is for everyone! Universal is a vibe, not an age. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
