going to amusement parks

is there a size/weight SOMETHING that will tell me when I will fit into rides? I might even now, my eyes are DEFINITELY seeing me bigger than my stomach.

That being said, I dont want to chance it because it is a flight and a great deal of costs. Wanting to hit harry potter with my daughter for her 17th....

You will fit fine on Harry Potter I was 260 and size 58 hips I squeezed in!

Oh and don't miss Harry Potter worth the hour or so wait BEST ride in the park!

thank you!!! I will be looking at flights this weekend! We are totally HP geeks!

This is one of the first and foremost reasons I'm doing my surgery.  My son is 17 months old now and I want to be able to do all the amusement parks with him.  Disney, Legoland, Harry Potter, Six Flags, etc.  HAVE FUN

Are you going to Universal in Florida -- because we just went last month and it was SO WORTH IT.

Okay, as far as the size thing -- I really understand how you feel as that used to be a big issue with me.  If it helps, I saw several women who were morbidly obese riding it -- it's definitely not an unfriendly sized ride.  If you are under a size 26/28, I think you would be fine.

This is one NSV I cannot WAIT FOR!!!! I live in Ohio and going to Cedar Point is something I miss dearly and I am a HUGE HP fanatic and want to go so badly. I am definitely going to Cedar Point next year because I will fit in those rides :) And DH and I aren't big on crowds but I think I can convince him to go to FL for Harry Potter, I've been wanting to go so badly. I think that is something I'm going to save up for and ask to do for an anniversary.

Have fun when you go, I totally understand you wanting to do it! I don't think there is a size to look for to fit but good luck!

I live in Ohio, too -- and I have done both Cedar Point and HP at Universal this year.  I think that's a wonderful anniversary idea!

Amusement Parks.  That triggers some awful memories of going during high school with my friends and having to 'sit this one out' because I couldn't fit. It was so mortifying.  I loved the rides too, and haven't been in 10+ years knowing that I *could* be turned away from a ride.  I can't wait to go back and strut up to a ride and have no fear about fitting.  You can do it too!  We all just require pictures so we can celebrate this NSV with you!!

I actually rode a roller coaster for the first time in 20 years last month.  I hated it just as much as I used to!  That said, I was able to ride every ride my daughter was interested in.  Most had a weight limit posted, somewhere around 250.  The only place i really worried about it was the water park slides because we were riding together, and some said there was a max weight below that.  There were a couple of rides I felt a little squished in, but could ride most comfortably.  

Ignore my tracker...i am now about 230 and a size 18/20.  Last month was more like 240.
