Planning a family trip to Universal Studios Beijing? Check out this ride height guide to find attractions suitable for every child
Did you know that thereâs a Universal Studios theme park in Beijing? Perhaps one of the worldâs most underrated theme parks, Universal Studios Beijing is big on the fun and thrills. Opened in 2021, the park is only about five years old â which means that everything is in great condition!Â
If youâre planning on visiting Universal Studios Beijing with the family, arm yourself with this ride height requirement guide for the little ones. Home to seven themed areas, the park offers plenty of great rides for all ages.
No height restrictions â woohoo!
Super Swirly
Enjoy a lovely birdâs eye view of Super Silly Fun Land whilst seated in a cute little creature. Each creature comes with a lever, which allows you to control your flying height.
Tip:Â Each creature seats four people, and you might be seated with strangers. If youâd like to control your flying height, remember to choose a front seat.Bumblebee Boogie
DJ Bumblebee is in charge of cranking up the music for this ride, and boy will it be a party! Spin round and round whilst grooving to the pulsating beats.
Lanterns of Legendary Legends
We love how the rides at Kung Fu Panda land are all catered for young kids. The whole land is so gorgeous too! Hop into baskets attached to glowing lanterns, and take to the skies.
Carousel of Kungfu Heroes
Whoâs your favourite Kung Fu Panda character? Make a beeline for your animal of choice, and enjoy this relaxing ride.
Minimum height requirement of 80cm
Kungfu Panda Journey of the Dragon Warrior
Take a relaxing boat ride, and marvel at world-class animatronics and special effects. Fight alongside Po and the Furious Five, as they band together to defeat Kai the villain. Psst, look out for the gentle dip!
Minimum height requirement of 92cm
Loop-Dee Doop-Dee
Our daughter loved this ride so much that she went on it four times! Kids and adults alike will love this family-friendly rollercoaster, which more than delivers on the dips and fast turns.
Minimum height requirement of 99cm
Flight of the Hippogriff
This is another family-friendly rollercoaster that ramps up the speed! Whiz past Hagridâs hut, and circle around the pumpkin patch on a fun ride guaranteed to make you smile.
Tip: The ride is fun, but it goes by fast. To make the experience more worthwhile, we recommend visiting first thing in the morning (especially if you have early entry) to beat the queue.
Minimum height requirement of 100cm
Jurassic Flyers
This was one of our favourite rides. A word of caution: this ride is a lot faster than it looks! Think of it as an upgraded version of Universal Studios Singaporeâs Canopy Flyer, where each glider capsule even swivels around during the ride.Â
Minimum height requirement of 102cm
Jurassic World Adventure
We were blown away by this ride! We heard that this was one of the parkâs most immersive rides, and it definitely didnât disappoint. Be chased by incredibly realistic dinosaurs â will you be able to make it out alive?
Despicable Me Minion Mayhem
Youâll also be able to find this ride in Universal Studios Singapore. Gear up for a fun motion simulator adventure with Gru, the minions, and the three little girls. If you have little ones below 102cm in height, theyâll be able to join in whilst seated on stationary seats.
Transformers: Battle for the AllSpark
This ride is also identical to the one at Universal Studios Singapore. Grab a pair of 3D glasses, and fight alongside Optimus Prime and the Autobots. Do you have what it takes to defeat Megatron and the Decepticons?
Minimum height requirement of 122cm
Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
This ride can be found at Universal Studios Japan too, and itâs super impressive. Venture deep inside Hogwarts castle, and be taken on a magical journey through the Harry Potter story. Youâll fly alongside Harry Potter in a game of Quidditch, as well as try to escape the Dementors.Â
Minimum height requirement of 132cm
Decepticoaster
Adrenaline junkies, hereâs looking at you. This ride is the crowning jewel of the park, and for good reason! Be launched out of a gigantic Decepticon Driller, right into a corkscrew dip thatâs not for the faint-hearted. This ride gets a solid 10/10 from us, especially as we only waited 25 minutes to get on.
