I'm not from Ohio...but very close!  I am planning on visiting Kings Island on Monday with a group of my friends from work.  They are all average size, I'm the heaviest one.  I am soooo worried that I'll be too big for the rides??? Anyone have any information? I really, really don't want to make a fool out of myself!!  I haven't been to Kings Islands (for an Adult Day) in a long time, went there for 2 days in June for the kids rides, and rode everything...

Any help is appreciated!

A lot of the smaller rides have mock rides out in the front so that you can see if you fit

I was very happy they did that, and would like to think I had something to do with it.  I waited 3 hours in line for the beast only to find out that I couldnt fit.  I sent a HUGE letter of anger and got a phone call from a VP.  a few years later I was surprised to see rides like Tomb Raider now have seats in the front to try out.

Wish I could be of more help... at 6'8" Im not hte best judge

Hi. I'm 5'5" and once I hit about 250, I started to be too big to ride most of the rides.

most do have the mock ride like tony said. that helps a lot.

I found a PDF file on Kings Island, If you PM me your email address I will email it to you - it gives information on weight/height limits on rides.

I am 5'7 and weigh 278 
we went to kings island  3 weeks ago
i rode the beast, the crypt ,the vertigo
I know that the diamond back and the crypt has a seat out front to check and see if you fit
I didnt try the racers as a smaller friend went and he had issues with getting out i stayed away from the 3 rollercoasters in that area.
All in i didnt find much i couldnt ride

Hi Teri,
No advise on the seat issues, but thought I would let you know.  IF you don't already have your tickets, you can get a $15 discount on adult admission at the gate with a non-winning Ohio lottery ticket (good for upto 6 tickets).  Check out Ohiolottery.com
I will be there Sunday for the Run KI event.  My wife and I will actually be walking the 5k, but I can't wait.
Have a great visit, and be sure to check out Diamondback. It is a great coaster, very smooth and LOTS of air time!
