Epic Universe Rides: Height Requirements for Every Attraction

Written by Joshua Posted February 19th, 2025

Epic Universe will soon open, and with it, 11 new rides. The park features a number of ride types, including several family-friendly options. Below you’ll find the height requirements for each of those attractions.

Rides that don’t list a minimum height (and several with shorter heights) require a “supervising companion.” Interestingly, Universal specifically says “children” need companions for rides that don’t have minimum heights. “Children” is not included in the language for companion rides without a minimum height. I hope that makes sense. If not, I hope it becomes clearer as you read on.
