Wondering if you guys can help me.
On the website, this is the info given for River Blast-
"Minimum Height Requirement: 48 inches
Companion Information: Guests under 48" who meet all ride requirements may ride with a supervising companion at least 16 years old who also meets all ride requirements."

On the map it is listed as a 2 which says "guest between 36-48" may ride with a supervising companion . . ."

My son is 2 years old and 34 1/2 inches and he road River Blast at Christmas. I was under the impression it was a no height requirement ride. The River Battle at Dollywood is listed as no height requirement.
Do you think they let him on at Christmas because they weren't shooting water?

It seems to me that SDC has height requirements on rides where they are not needed. For instance, the dumbo ride and teacups at Disney World have no height requirement, but at SDC you have to be 36" for the elephant march and royal tea party.

Last Summer my 1-yr old daughter rode it with us with no problem (other than the fact she didn't like it  :D ) So unless they've changed the requirements over the winter you should be okay.

Also ride height requirements are subject to state regulations, that is one reason some height requirements vary state-to-state.
