I went to Six Flags today. Started at the water park. Climbing stairs. In and out of the floates with no problems. Then I went to the Roller Coasters. Got on them without any worries will i fit in the seat? I felt like a regular person. I used to be the one that would stand to the side and hold everyones stuff. Not Today!!!!

That is so great, Tina!!!

I remember years ago, waiting on that long line for the roller coaster, and finally getting up there, going to sit down and being mortified that my big butt didn't fit in the seat. Imagine how embarrassed I was having to step BACK out of the ride and do the walk of shame while everyone watched (and some laughed).

I look forward to have your NSV one day. Congrats!!!

The last time I tried to get on a roller coaster i stood in line for an hour then saw a sign that said obese with a red circle with a line through it. I stood there for a few mins more then pretended that i was just too scared of the coaster to get on. My husband and brother have teased me for years about being a chicken. I would just laugh but inside I was screaming "I love Roller Coasters"

I'm very happy for you, but you can have the roller coaster all to yourself!
