    Hi! I have a question about Space Mountain. How many people does the ride hold per car (spaceship)? Also I have a 6 year old and she is really daring she wants to do the big rides. She's 44 inches. What rides would be right for her in the theme parks??

    Hi Lisa,

    The Space Mountain cars fit 3 people per car.  You're seated right behind each other but in your own, separate seats -- if that makes any sense. 

    As for your little dare devil, have no fear.  Forty inches is the magical number for many of the more daring attractions at Walt Disney World.  Here are a few suggestions for your thrill seeker:

    Magic Kingdom - Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain.  The height requirement for Space Mountain is 44", so she should be able to conquer that mountain as well.
    Epcot - Test Track and Soarin'.  You need to be 44" tall to ride Mission: SPACE, so she might want to try that too.
    Hollywood Studios - Tower of Terror
    Animal Kingdom - Kali River Rapids and DINOSAUR.  Again, 44" is the magic number for Expedition Everest.

    If she's truly 44", she should be all set to ride just about every attraction in all of the parks.  The only ones she'll definitely be to short for still are Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and Primeval Whirl.

    Hope this helps.  Have a magical vacation!
