Hi Everyone,
Thought I'd post my experience. I visited universal and islands of adventure yesterday.
I'm a size 22 on the bottom and 18-20 on top. I was most worried about the Harry Potter rides after reading the threads.
Forbidden Journey was first up. Was pulled to the side of the lines where the test seat was but so they could check my daughters height. She was unsure my daughter was tall enough so directed us to the cast member at the end of the line. No request for me to try the seats. Got to the loading area and I asked the cast member if I was good to ride. She said sure and looked puzzled. I did go for an outside seat as I read they were bigger and had no problems fitting in. Didn't feel over tight or unsecure at all. We did child swap so got to ride again after and different cast member loading. No issues.
Escape from Gringotts was next up. Rushed in and didn't see the test seats outside or else I would have tried them out. Nothing said by any cast members in the lines and was loaded onto the ride. Seats did feel narrow and I was slightly uncomfortable but the ride was so good I could put up with it.
Rip Ride It Rocket - I didn't ride but the other half did. He's broad chested and wears XXL tshirts. He had no problems fitting in. We're yet to try the Hulk but fingers crossed can try tomorrow so will post an update then.
I hope this puts some minds to rest as I was very nervous in the lines leading up to the rides.
