Cedar Point and Exceptional Size

[Love That Mouse]

Not sure if this is the place to put this. . . . But here I go.. . .

I'm 6'7" and about 300 pounds. At WDW I can ride everything BUT Space Mountain (no way my legs are going to fit in there. . . .).

Has anyone been to Cedar Point and know what the ride configurations are like there? Anyone "pooh sized" like me and can give personal experience?

Thanks in advance!

A lot of the coaster have over the shoulder harnesses. My Dh is 6'4'' and 350lbs. He has a hard time fitting into them. alot is the shoulder to seat height. He has a long torso. My BIL is 6'6'' has a short torso and long legs and he can fit . We have not been in quite a few years.
Outside of each coaster line there should be a seat to try.

Like the PP mentioned, there are sample seats outside the front of the major rides. I do want to point out something else though (a kind of cruddy thing, though) - this isn't Disney so feelings are not always spared. I have a larger friend who was once told by a Cedar Point employee that she was too big to ride. No pun intended, but make sure to wear your big boy underpants that day and keep in the back of your head that it is all for safety purposes regardless of how tactful or tactless the employee may act.

Cedar Point is really different than WDW. I squish my big butt on the rides but I don't think I could get much bigger and still be able to ride. DH is 6'1" AND 250-260 and just barely makes it on the newer, faster coasters with the kids. The rides that don't go upside down have lap bars and/or lap belts that are snug!

My DH had trouble fitting on Millenium Force at 5'9" and 240 lbs. He's gained some weight and he knows he would not fit now. Many of the rides are exceptionally snug. Check out the link someone posted above. We will not be returning to CP until DH slims down a bit, because he's pretty sure he will not fit on the coasters...and why go to CP if you can't ride the coasters, really?

I'm 5'4" and 215 pounds, and there were quite a few rides I almost couldn't get buckled, where the workers had to help me by pulling really hard to make it fit. Very embarrassing, and it totally embarrassed my 9yr old son too.
