I’m 6′ 300 and fit most rides, although the Hulk has a hard plastic cupped seat that my ass doesn’t fit in, Hagrid’s is tight and can only ride the bike, velocicoaster is no problem. The mummy and the Harry Potter motion Sim rides are also no problem…
I’m 5’6″ and 280 lbs. I need to lose 80 lbs gained after I lost my father. I can ride a good portion of these rides. As for the others, I am not banned from them. I can easily ride them with a little work on ny part. If I choose to be lazy, and stay at the weight I am, that’s on me. The issue is not the design. The issue is we are getting more and more permissive of unhealthy lifestyles.
And yes, I’m very aware that there are people that have health issues that make it harder to lose weight. I suffer from 2 such diseases. It sucks. But riding rides at a theme park is not a right. It’s a privilege.
I’m a pretty big dude and the only ride I’ve had to walk away from is the Harry Potter ride inside the castle. It’s been a few years though so who knows.
