The height requirement for amusement rides has to do with the fit

short adult would not be allowed on either.
The requirement at Bush is 12 years old. Short adults are allowed on
the rides. There may be situations where height is the issue but not on
the rides I've seen at Bush Gardens. As was explained to me by a
friend from the USF medical school (USF medical school helped Bush
Gardens with this) was kids because they are still growing and as such
the structures are much more vulnerable to injury than adults. So the
12 year old rule is in effect. However, it is not feasible in practice
to implement a 12 year old rule so it is implemented by height. If you
can produce a valid ID like a drivers license or look like an old
geezer - welcome aboard.
I suspect in reality they could not keep an adult off - at least in
FL.
