I know that there are some rides which a three year old maybe tall enough to ride, but the ride may not be appriopriate for a three year old given his/her young age and maturity.
We have a tall three year old little boy (40 inches), and by October when we're visiting DL/DCA, he'll be even taller (maybe 42 inches). He's also been to DL/DCA many times in the past, but he's only riden rides that have a 35 inch height requirement and the rides with no height requirement. He loved all of those rides (expect Haunted Mansion, which he'll ride, but we can tell that he doesn't like it very much). Also, he has no problem with dark rides, so that is not an issue. He's already been on every dark ride at DL, except Space Mountain. His favorite ride at DL is Buzz Lightyear - he'd ride it all day if we let him!
We already have concluded that Space Mountain (too fast) and the Hollywood Tower of Terror (scary theming and unexpected drops) will be way too scary for him. The Matterhorn is out of the equation since it'll be closed while we're there. However, we know he'll love Star Tours! It'll be his first time to ride Star Tours when we go in October.
We're undecided about a few rides for him. What are your opinions for a three year old on the following rides (in other words, would they be too scary for him or any other typical three year old?):
Splash Mountain
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Grizzly River Run
Thanks everyone
