How Tall Do You Have to Be to Ride That?! Epic Universe Height Requirements Revealed Ahead of Park Opening
Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe officially opens to all guests on May 22, but the fun is already starting for Annual Passholders, select hotel guests, and Universal Visa Card members who scored early preview access beginning this week! With guests of all ages eagerly preparing to portal-hop through five dazzling new worlds, it’s time to answer one of the most important questions: How tall do you have to be to ride?!
Whether you’re training dragons in the Isle of Berk, casting spells at the Ministry of Magic, or drifting through Super Nintendo World, knowing the height requirements can help avoid any “you-must-be-this-tall” meltdowns at the entrance.
Let’s break it down in true theme park fashion—with a little flair and a lot of fun:
🎠 Constellation Carousel
🌟 All heights welcome—with a twist! Kids under 48″ need a supervising companion, and no hand-held infants are allowed.
🐺 Curse of the Werewolf
🧛♂️ Feeling brave? You’ll need to be at least 40″ to ride, and anyone between 40″–48″ must ride with a supervising companion. Hold on tight… the monsters are unchained!
🐉 Dragon Racer’s Rally
🔥 Ready to ride like a Viking? You must be at least 48″ to saddle up and soar. No dragons allowed to give you a boost.
💦 Fyre Drill
💧 Kids under 48″ can still cool off, but they’ll need a supervising companion. Again, no hand-held infants here either—this one’s got splash potential!
⚡ Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry™
🪄 Minimum height: 40″. Young witches and wizards under 48″ must bring along a magical guardian. Accio bravery!
🪂 Hiccup’s Wing Gliders

🌠 Stardust Racers
🎇 Ready for lift-off? You’ll need to be at least 48″ to ride this epic dual-track racing coaster across the stars. Pro tip: both sides have a slightly different track layout, be sure to check out both!
