Cedar Point
We have not went for years and thought we may have lost enough weight by now - didn't realize they shortened them even more:-(
That is one of my goals...to go back and ride every roller coaster - even if I puke my guts out!
Interesting side note though...earlier that summer I went to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City. (They are owned by Cedar Point too - but they weren't originally). I was able to get into the same type of seat that I tried at CP without any problem.
So each ride is different I guess, but I don't want to go through the embarrassment of trying each ride out.
I went to Universal Studios this summer and was able to ride anything, and like you...I rode a roller coaster just to say I could. My son couldn't believe it, and he smiled the rest of the day. It's been 3 months since we've been there and he still laughs out loud when he describes my screams and howls on the Harry Potter roller coaster.
It was worth the terror to say I could do it!
This is directly from their website:
Due to rider restraint system requirements, guests of exceptional size may not be accommodated on some of our rides. This may apply, but not be limited to, men who exceed 6’2", or those who exceed 225 pounds, have a 40" waistline or 52" chest or females who exceed 200 pounds or wear size 18 or larger. Each person has different body proportions so it is not possible to list exact size and weight.
Maximum rider height is 6' 6" for the following rides: Maverick, Millennium Force, Shoot the Rapids, Top Thrill Dragster and Wicked Twister.
Our larger guests may experience difficulty on Blue Streak, Chaos, Corkscrew, Disaster Transport, Mantis, Maverick, maXair, Mean Streak, Millennium Force, Mine Ride, Power Tower, Raptor, Skyhawk, Top Thrill Dragster, Wave Swinger, Wicked Twister.
Maximum recommended weight limits are posted on many rides including Camp Snoopy rides, Chaos, Monster, Planet Snoopy rides, Scrambler, Skyscraper, Super Himalaya, Troika, Wave Swinger, RipCord and most Soak City attractions.

Hi,
I am 5'5 and 215 pounds. My waist is 37" and I fit into a 15 size jean. Do you think I will have any problems riding at Cedar Point? I don't want to ride the Wicked Twister (which I heard is the smallest ride anyway), however I would like to ride the Dragster and millennium Force. Please let me know!
