Universal Studios Tours: Security and Height Requirements
Security at Universal Studios Tours
If you are concerned about your safety while visiting Universal Studios, you should not be. There are security officers on the grounds, and security offices are located in the upper lot by Nick Stuff and in the lower lot inside the Jurassic Park Visitors Center.
After the 9/11 terrorists attacks, Universal Studios put a heightened security program in place. Today, security precautions are constantly taken for the safety of all visitors and guests. The park stays up-to-date on all security briefings that are issued by local and federal law enforcement agencies, and always takes appropriate measures to ensure everyone’s safety and well-being.
To date, there have been no major security issues at Universal Studios. The park has never been threatened by terrorists or nationals. In the event that the park is threatened, again, measures are in place to ensure the safety of everyone. With this in mind, enjoy yourself and all that Universal Studios Tours has to offer – leave the worrying to the people who are already equipped and prepared to deal with such an emergency, should it ever arise.
Universal Studios Tours Height Requirements
Universal Studios is a great deal of fun – for most people. However there are some who simply will not enjoy a day at Universal Studios Tours – young children specifically. If you are planning a vacation to Universal Studios, you should take the height requirements into consideration – or you could end up having a miserable time.
First, you must be forty-eight inches tall to ride Revenge of the Mummy. You must be forty six inches tall to ride Jurassic Park, and you must be at least forty inches tall to ride Back to the Future. If you or your child do not meet these height requirements, you will not be allowed on the ride. There is a measuring stick that is used in the queue for each of these attractions.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking that you can get by if you are just a half inch below the requirements – you can’t. These height requirements are in place to ensure your safety, and park staff members are trained to adhere strictly to these rules. Just a tip – high heel shoes won’t get you in either. At Universal
Studios, they’ve seen it all!
