The 5 height requirement changes in 2025!!

-Bat is 42in minimum/ alone
-Pumpkin coaster is 36in minimum/ alone
-shake rattle is 42in minimum and 54in alone
-Viking fury is 40in minimum and 46in alone
-Sally’s sea Plane’s new minimum height requirement alone is 36in alone and with adult accompanied

 

Interesting. I know Rapterra came out with a 48' height requirement, which was unusual because of the original 52' height requirement for all coasters with Vest Restraints. Holiday World was then notified by B&M that they could lower the height requirement from 52' to 48'. I'll be curious to see if any other Vest Restraint coasters get lowered (Banshee, Valravn, GateKeeper, etc.) Here's the Screamscape article:

According to Disney, you can repaint it or add some theming changes and you could call it a new ride!

Banshee's ain't going to change it's height requirement, it's too forceful to do that.

Vortex was more forceful than Banshee and it was only 48".  It's more about ride restraint and seat design.

Iron Gwazi has one of the most negative G moments and it's a 48' height requirement. Like you said, it is entirely on how the restraints are. That's why I was mentioning if it would change other Vest Restraint rides.
