Alton Towers - CBeebies land with a toddler? Ride heights?

[bikerclaire]

Hi all, We're hoping to take our daughter to CBeebies land this summer but unsure if it's worth it for what rides she's likely to get on. Measured this morning she's 0.83m at 17 months but many of the CBeebies land rides have a minimum height of 0.9m. Does anyone have experience of taking a near-height toddler there and how strictly do they enforce the height rule please? Failing that how much is she likely to grow between now and say, August?

My experience is that they are quite strict on height restrictions so whilst you could risk it you should be prepared to be (politely) turned away if not tall enough.

That said, it's almost impossible to predict height in August. The only suggestion I have is to look at DC's height graphs/centile in the red book and see where they might be in 6 months time.

Agreed with pp Alton towers staff will be very strict on height restrictions. They will have no qualms about refusing her to ride and rightly so. You can see on their website the restrictions for each ride. But as for her height in August that really will be a guessing game.

They will be strict but they also measure with shoes on.

We did Disney with DC who was under the height but made it (just) in shoes

Very strict rules about height. But at that age my Dd was perfectly happy with the rides she was able to go on. I think in CBeebies land the only ride with a height limit was the Octonauts roller coaster. There are also lots of shows throughout the day. For mine, the highlight has always been meeting Upsy Daisy and Iggle Piggle.
