Amusement parks are the thrill of children everywhere and the bane of adults seeking to keep them under control. With rides filled with excitement, thrills, and a bit of danger, these areas are a kid's paradise. However, due to pesky safety regulations, equipment and seats made to accommodate adults, not to mention pesky liability issues and lawsuit-happy parents, park regulations dictate that younger children can't ride the most intense, exciting and popular rides. In Real Life, these safety concerns are perfectly valid and are there to protect children — safety harnesses that fit an adult may be too large to properly restrain a child. In fiction, this is rarely if ever pointed out. Though rarely mentioned, the inverse of this is also true of Real Life: child-scale rides are often too small to be safe (or at least comfortable) for adults (and some adult-scale rides are too small for adults of exceptional size). This trope is prevalent across various media, though will rarely occur in works not set between the middle of the 20th century and 20 Minutes into the Future. Generally, usage of this trope is followed by said kid desperate to find a way onto the ride, and doing so may be considered a Rite of Passage into becoming a teenager. This trope may either be played for laughs in order to highlight the zany schemes that the children will take in order to sneak onto the ride or suddenly grow tall enough for it, or for drama if the kids end up getting hurt due to neglecting the precautions of a very Reasonable Authority Figure. In contrast, it may also be used as an excuse for a child or young teenager who is legitimately scared of said ride. Of course, the plot requires that said child actually be tall enough to ride, in which case elaborate, wacky hijinks are played in order to avoid the ride, before finally admitting their fear, going on anyway, and generally enjoying themself. This variant is almost always played for laughs. See also Totem Pole Trench for a common plan to circumvent height limits. May lead to Height Angst. |

In "Sally's Not Amused" from Pete the Cat, Sally experiences this with every ride at the amusement park save the ones in the "baby" section, to the point where she starts experiencing serious Height Angst. Callie and the other kids snap her out of it by singing a song to her about all the great things about being small, and she is also cheered up during a show later on when she turns out someone small is needed to top a pyramid. Finally, at the end of the story, Sally tells the others that she wants them to go on on all the rides they withheld going on because of her, saying that they made her happy and she wants them to be happy. | |

Aki-chan's Life: During a visit to the Fair, Aki wants to get in one ride, but Shinji says she's too short. Misato also wants to get in the same ride, but Kaji argues she's too pregnant. At the end, the toddler and the -physically- older woman have to settle for riding the merry-go-round... both sporting fuming-expressions. | |

Inverted in an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The gang goes to a waterpark and Mac and Dee are excited to go on their favorite slide from when they were kids. However, the lifeguard points out the slide is meant for kids and people taller than five feet are not allowed to ride. They ignore him and go down the slide anyway. Mac's legs proceed get stuck during one of the turns and they wind up trapped for hours. | |

The Simpsons: In "Selma's Choice", Bart applies ice cream bars to the bottom of his shoes to meet the height requirement. He then experiences the point of the height requirement when the ride starts and he nearly falls out going through a loop because he is not big enough for the safety bar to catch him. In "Lisa the Vegetarian", Bart faces the opposite problem at a ride for not being short enough. He does make the Mother Goose train more fun for the preschoolers, though! In "Caper Chase", Mr. Burns is a member of a secret society whose entrance door has a sign reading "You must be this rich to enter". The earlier episode "Homer at the Bat" has a similar joke involving the Millionaires Club. Referenced in "Dumbbell Indemnity" when a Disco has a sign reading "You must be at least this swarthy to enter", with a picture of Apu's cousin Sanjay. |

On Brandy & Mr. Whiskers, Whiskers and Gaspar le Gecko launch a protest over the shorter animals not being allowed on a water park ride called "Flumes of Fury" (or a majority of the other rides at the park). Brandy and the lifeguard/ride attendant who kept preventing them from getting on the ride explain that it's a "safety thing" to prevent people from potentially getting hurt—Brandy brings up the fact about how animals like Whiskers and Gaspar are just going to have to deal with the fact that there are some things that they just might be too small for. Whiskers and Gaspar, however, refuse to listen to them and force themselves onto the ride...where they get injured due to their small statures. | |

In "Curious George vs. the Turbo Python 3000", on the PBS animated Curious George, both George and a little boy are stymied by this. George tries various tactics such as wearing a tall hat and raising up his arms, but they don't work. Then he tries to get bigger, only for a strong-man to tell him that he'll be as big and strong as him if he follows his routine... in five years. Then he hears that sleeping helps you to grow and so he goes to sleep, and has a dream in which he grows huge, only to be told that he can't ride the Turbo Python 3000 because he's too big to fit in the seat. In the end, George wins because Captain Zany, the head of the park, already had a loophole built in. He knows that monkeys don't grow very big, and so he spins around the sign revealing the "monkey sign," which is how tall monkeys must be to ride. | |

House of Mouse: In "Goofy's Menu Magic", Goofy suddenly becomes a master chef (thanks to Fairy Godmother's magic wand) and Mickey asks to watch him cook in the kitchen. Goofy refuses and puts up a cardboard cutout of himself, saying "You must be this tall, and goofy, to enter". Inverted in "House Ghosts", when Daisy tells Paul Bunyan that he's too tall to enter the club. However, he turns out to be the Seven Dwarfs in costume. The short "Donald's Rocket Ruckus" has Donald's nephews trying to make themselves taller to go on a fast ride, but are constantly sidetracked by their uncle. They actually are tall enough to ride, but Donald decided to be a jerk and raise the sign a few inches higher. |

In Problem Child 2, during the fair scene, Junior tries to get on the Crazy Dance ride, but is told that he has to be as tall as the tentacle, which he just barely isn't ("But it's only a millimeter!"). After getting the usual teasing from the local bully, he encounters Trixie, the girl who's just as bad as Junior is, who wears elevator shoes in order to get on the ride (she doesn't get caught because the skirt she's wearing is long enough to hide the platforms). This gets Junior mad enough to mess with the speed of the ride to make everyone barf. | |

In "Lost and Found" from PB&J Otter, Peanut and Jelly Otter are at an amusement park and Jelly is tall enough to ride, but the attendant is unsure about Peanut, whom he refers to as her "little brother" despite him being older than her. As it turns out, he is just tall enough if he stretches and the attendant is too laissez-faire to care that he stretched. | |

Steven Universe: In the episode "Too Short to Ride", Steven, Amethyst, and Peridot are all too short to ride the roller-coaster at Funland. Steven and Amethyst can make themselves taller by shapeshifting and are able to ride. Peridot, however, is unable to shapeshift, due to being an Era 2 Peridot, which don't have the powers of Era 1 Gems due to dwindling Homeworld resources. Steven and Amethyst spend the rest of the episode trying to make her feel better. When she tries to get on, it at first looks like she just edges over the requirement... until Mr. Smiley pushes down on the top of her head, revealing that the "triangle" is just hair. | |

Psychonauts 2's final level, a parody of "it's a small world", has one of these signs blocking Raz and Lili from further exploring the mind of the Big Bad. To get in, Raz simply breaks the legs of the size-measuring sign and somehow manages to convince the operator that they're older now. | |

Phineas and Ferb: L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. once held a contest to pick a leader and there was a rule like that for the entrants. Sorry, Doctor Diminutive, they can do that 'cause they're evil. A requirement to be a Flawless Girl in "Attack of the 50 Foot Sister" is to be never under 5'10". Candace is 5'8", 2 inches shorter than this. She attempts to remedy this problem with a growth potion the boys invented; however, it backfired on her and made her 50 feet tall, as one could guess from the title of the episode. |

In Pizza Tower, one random wooden cutout piece in the background of the Slum area is a sign that reads "You need to be this tall". Beneath the measurement line is a pixel-perfect outline of the protagonist Peppino, who is one pixel short of being tall enough (including his hat). | |

Kaz even lets out an Ill-Timed Sneeze... and the guy operating the coaster isn't suspicious! The plan works, and he gets on... but the safety bar won't go down all the way. | |

In the Bob's Burgers episode "Bye-Bye Boo-Boo", Boo-Boo uses this as the theme and marketing ploy for his first solo album. The album is titled "You Must Be This Tall To Ride My Heart" and he promotes it by going on roller coasters with contest winners. He indignantly insists in his promotional video that he is in fact tall enough to ride roller coasters now, and when he goes to the measuring sign at Wonder Wharf, he just barely makes the requirement, as pointed out by the MC. In "Boyz 4 Now" he was forced to use a booster seat on the tour bus because he hadn't even hit 80 lbs yet. Needless to say, he has a bit of a complex about his size. | |

Scooby-Doo: The Sinbad the Sailor segment of Scooby-Doo in Arabian Nights has the captain (who is depicted as a dwarf, similar to Mr. Spacely or Mr. Peebles) being too short for a log ride filled with the treasure he's after. He reacts by destroying the measurement sign and getting on the ride anyway. What's New, Scooby-Doo?: In the episode "Roller Ghoster Ride", there's a Running Gag involving a small boy named Eddie being told that he is too short to go on certain rides, such as the Sky-Diving Simulator, the Slingshot, and the Rocket Coaster. After the real culprit is caught, he demands to know why he wasn't considered a suspect (as they knew he had a motive)... and Velma points out he's too short for the costume, to his utter frustration. Shaggy then tells him there's one thing he isn't too short for — cut to Eddie, Shaggy and Scooby on the food-based ride that Shaggy had designed for the amusement park. |

The Fairly OddParents!: In "Love at First Height", Timmy and his two best friends, Chester and AJ, are too short to ride a certain rollercoaster at a park called Adrenaland. According to AJ's calculations, none of them will be tall enough to ride the until they're at least sixteen—Chester and AJ try remedying this by using a "tall kid kit" to look like an adult and end up being invited to a kid-free area of the park. Timmy just wishes he's sixteen years old and his fairy godparents grant the wish. In "Hex Games", Vicky installs one of these signs on a popular ramp as part of her tyrannical rule as "Queen of the Skate Park". After successfully challenging her for the position, the first thing Timmy does is tear the sign down. |

Harley Quinn (2019): As a kid, Dr. Psycho visited the fair with his mother every year in the hopes that he could ride a ferris wheel, but every year he found out he was too short to ride it. He tried everything he could to make himself taller, but he was never able to grow tall enough to get on the ride. One year, however, the ferris wheel fell over, killing a number of people still on it and giving him a dark thrill as he watched it happen. Apparently, this is why he became a misogynist. | |

One boy can't go on the ride due to not being tall enough, but Mr. Krabs pushes the sign down until it's shorter than the boy. At the end of "Say 'Awww!'", after Plankton's latest invention, Q.T.-Pi, is converted into a ride at Glove World, Plankton is dismayed when he is turned away for being too short to ride despite being the one who built the robot in the first place. |

Family Guy: "Amish Guy" had a variation where the gang visits Six Flags, only to discover that the main rollercoaster has a weight limit (you're not allowed to ride if you're fat enough to look hilarious on a miniscooter) and Peter is way over it. After a few half-hearted attempts at losing weight, Peter decides to cheat by wearing a girdle, manages to get on a new ride that just opened... and the chain pulling the carts up the track snaps, causing a crash that kills at least one kid attendant. | |

In the Amphibia episode "Sprig's Birthday", one of the many things Anne does with Sprig is take him to an amusement park in Santa Monica. He's denied entrance to a rollercoaster on account of being too short, but his Puppy-Dog Eyes and the fact it's his birthday win the operator over and he's allowed on. Sprig repeatedly slips out of his seat during the ensuing ride, and Anne has to grab him by the arm to stop him falling out entirely. | |

In Housepets! the Milton Ferrets open a theme park, then Keene notices that the height requirement is taller than he is, so he has it lowered. | |

Inverted in The ClueFinders 4th Grade Adventures: The Puzzle of the Pyramid. The Egyptian gods would like to help stop the Evil Plan, but it turns out they're too tall to enter the pyramid where this is taking place. So the gods give their powers to the eponymous protagonists, who are average-sized human teenagers able to enter the doorway. | |

Bubble Fox: In All is Fair: Rabbit Ears, a bunny with floppy ears can't go on a ride because they're shorter than the minimum of the height sign. Bubble solves this problem by blowing them up, which causes their ears to go up, and subsequently letting them through. | |

Dexter's Laboratory: The episode "Ewww That's Growth" is about Dexter being upset about his pint-sized height; one of the ways his stature makes his life harder is that he's denied going on a rollercoaster with his family. After he makes himself very tall with an invention of his, he is allowed onto the ride (during which he crashes painfully into a wall because of a hitch in his invention he didn’t notice; while waiting in line he grew a few more feet than necessary). | |
