The 4 of Us Posted July 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I found the below on the NCL FAQ page but it only lists a minimum height requirement. Are there any maximum height or weight limits to ride? Joy Speedway Minimum height requirement is 55" with the ability to drive alone. Food, drinks, loose clothing and personal items are not allowed. Fully closed footwear is required and shoes with high heels are not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted July 19, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2022 From memory, I think that the maximum height is 79" and the maximum weight is 300lbs. but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NW Pacific Posted July 20, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I am 5'2, and struggled with reaching the "go pedal", also wear glasses, putting the helmet over glasses to see, did not work well. My bff, although met the weight restriction, her bottom is fluffy, and she could not fit in the seat. the others in our group had a great time, I was the obstacle on the course, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thenoname Posted November 19, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I have a pretty silly question, but do they weigh you before you're allowed to go on the Speedway? I weigh around 265. One day I can be 270, the other 260 and I am afraid of being told I'm too heavy to ride 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose they don't weigh everyone, just those they have a hunch might tip the scales...literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NW Pacific Posted November 20, 2022 #9 Share Posted November 20, 2022 We were never weighed in 2020, but I do think this a good thing, same for everybody, not just selecting those who look a little over the limit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an actual scale that lets people know exactly how much you weigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day I can be 270, the other 260 and I am afraid of being told I'm too heavy to ride 😅 Unfortunately, these are electric go karts with battery levels that decline throughout the day. They are trying to set a reasonable weight so no one slows down and stops on the uphill portions of the track. No matter how much you weigh, I find that little 70 lb kid who is fearless and has their finger on the boost button constantly will lap me (several times) during a race 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thenoname Posted November 21, 2022 #13 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Thanks everyone! I guess I'll have to book it early in the cruise before I've gained the extra 5 pounds 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize that. So that's good because you won't have to stand in long lines for a long time then I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
