Yeah.... except then you get the short adults trying to go on the cheap-o kiddie rides and making it less fun for everyone else.... as an average, it works.

But yeah-- it would be better for the ride operators to understand that and be able to explain it to you and/or your parents. Having been a ride operator, I can tell you this would be utterly futile, as all too many parents' response to normal height requirements is usually "I'll sign a *%^()$@ing paper if my son can go on THIS RIDE!" and don't understand when you say "your paper won't help me keep my job, sir. Go away."

These are the same types of folks who accused me of being racist for not letting their 3" too short son on the bumper cars, and the same kinds who brutally beat a ride operator with a telephone she was using to call for help one night.

It's very hard to tell a parent that you're denying their kid some fun and that it's in the best interest of the kid.
