By height
What can my child ride?
Each band below shows what unlocks at that height and what is still out of reach.
At 42 inches (107cm)
A child who measures 42 inches can ride 4 of the 8 attractions at Six Flags Over Texas — every one of the 3 with no requirement, plus 1 that do have one.
Newly unlocked at this height: Shock Wave.
Still too short for: Texas SkyScreamer (48"), The New Texas Giant (48"), Titan (48"), and Mr. Freeze: Reverse Blast (54").
At 48 inches (122cm)
A child who measures 48 inches can ride 7 of the 8 attractions at Six Flags Over Texas — every one of the 3 with no requirement, plus 4 that do have one.
Newly unlocked at this height: Texas SkyScreamer, The New Texas Giant, and Titan.
Still too short for: Mr. Freeze: Reverse Blast (54").
At 54 inches (137cm)
A child who measures 54 inches can ride 8 of the 8 attractions at Six Flags Over Texas — every one of the 3 with no requirement, plus 5 that do have one.
Newly unlocked at this height: Mr. Freeze: Reverse Blast.
Nothing is off limits. At 54 inches your child clears every height requirement in the park.

|---|---|---|---|
| Judge Roy Scream | Spain | Roller coaster | 1/5 |
| La Vibora | Spain | Roller coaster | 1/5 |
| Runaway Mine Train | Spain | Roller coaster | 1/5 |
How measuring actually works
A cast member measures your child against a fixed stick at the entrance to each attraction: shoes on, hats off, standing straight. There is no discretion and no negotiating — the stick decides.
If your child is borderline, ask for a wristband at the first attraction that measures them. A coloured band means the height has been checked for the day and they will not be re-measured at every queue, which saves a lot of standing around and a lot of disappointment repeated seven times.
Thick-soled shoes are not cheating; they are simply how the measurement is taken. Hair that adds height is not — expect it to be flattened.
