Little devil lol I think my youngest is going to be tall, as she's tall for her age now. My eldest is really small for his age though, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're both the siz of a 9 year old when they're 7 1\2 and 10 lol
If they end up too small for a lot of rides, we'll just have to move it to the yea after. I'm waiting 5 years, what's another...[msneek]

The 'average' height for an 8 year old is 49 inches which is 4ft 1 or around 125cm's

My eldest is 5 and she's easily 125cm's.
She got on most things when we were there back in october when she was only 4, including Mission Space, Splash Mountain,Space Mountain (over and over and over again as it was her favourite), Tower of Terror, Expedition Everest,Jurassic Park, Spiderman etc etc.
Too small for Rock N Roller Coaster,Duelling Dragons, The Hulk and Dr Doom much to her dissapointment, but no doubt she'll do them all next year.
Oh that's fantastic. There are some great rides there she managed to get on. Can't wait to go on tower of terror again. Has it changed much in the last 8 years? lol
I really want them to be able to get on the last ones you mentioned, they're great.
Do you know, even if your youngest is too small for some of the larger roller coasters, there is really PLENTY to amuse her. She will be spoiled for choice! The chances are, that she won't want to go on the larger rides, anyway.
Don't worry about it. You and your whole family will have a wonderful time[msnsmile]

My youngest was 50" at Christmas and desperate to go on everything in August. We did say to her to have a better chance of growing 4" by then to try eating more fruit and veg[msnwink] She grew 2" by February so is keen to eat healthy foods as it's working! She was 8 last October and is average height compared to the others in her class.
I too was sad to see Back to the Future close[msncry]
Sammibabe, I thought you said that your youngest was 50 at Christmas!![msnsmile2][msnsmile2]
LOL, she just acts like it sometimes! Old head on young shoulders and all that, comes of being the youngest of 3 maybe
We actually had the opposite problem first time we went when our daughter was 10. She wanted to go on the Pteranadon flyers in Animal Kingdom for which you had to be UNDER a certain height. It was designed for children so if you were accompanying a small child you could go on regardless of height so it wasnt a physical thing of someone being too big for the ride (like a kind of chair lift ride). As she was over the height limit they refused to let her on, by then she was well over 5', so was disappointed but what was worse she saw so many adults (especially Chinese) who because they were under the height limit, despite not accompanying children were allowed to go on it.
Aww bless her. I hadn't thought of that. Like a pp said, I know there's plenty for the kids to enjoy, and I've no doubt they'll love it anyway. Thing is, I want to go on dueling dragons! lol I've not been for so long, I'd be so disappointed if I don't get to go on my favourite rides lol.
Better get cracking on finding a man then, just so I can go on them all lol [msntongue]
