When i booked last September i spent a lot of time reading these threads and fretting id not fit on some stuff. I probably would just about have gotten on everything (I was 5'11" 257lb), so made a point to lose as much as I could before i go (tomorrow! )

Im now 193lb and still a little worried cause I carry the excess mostly on my chest, but should be fine. Will report back in 2 weeks!

That is some impressive weight loss there - that is what my goal is although my starting point is slightly higher! Will be interesting to read how it went

Hi
This thread has been really useful for me but I am now panicking about my brother being able to do the rides at sea world. We go in June and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a 6' man with a 48" waist/46" chest being able to do anything at sea World? Or Busch for that matter? He is built pretty solidly but carries a lot of it around his middle.

Any advice or thoughts would be most welcome! TIA x

Hello All!

I have doubts about some of the rides, I am 6'2", 50-52" chest and 44" waist and really hold a lot of weight more or less in the middle (like a pear!). I still have some months to go and trying to lose a bit of weight in the lead up to going away but having read posts from this thread and was wondering if anyone had advice on what rides I would probably struggle with (I believe Gringotts at Universal). We are going to the Universal parks, Disney parks and Busch Gardens if anyone wants to comment!

I was a similar build to you in 2014 when we went. We did all the big rides in WDW, universal and Seaworld. The only ONE ride that was more embarrassing that a problem was Rip Ride Rocket. The guy couldn't get the harness to lock in, so I had to do the walk of shame to the 'special seats' further back. That ride was rubbish anyway LOL

Yeah, I can usually "laugh it off" or similar if it ever happens but inside I would be dying. I have no problems of telling staff that I would probably need the "special" seats but from what I have read on here they can be quite discreet about it
