Raging Waters water parks (California, Texas, Sydney) enforce height minimums for safety. Requirements vary by ride.

Measurement & Enforcement

Tips for Families
- Measure kids at home before trip.
- Check specific park's ride guide online (varies by location).

Height rules exist because restraint systems are engineered for specific body proportions. Respect them for a safe day.
