extremely over weight riders? help please

[arielsmommy14]

My family will be going to magic kingdom, epcot and Hollywood studios this spring and I am quite over weight. 5'5 and 310 pounds. Nothing is more embarrassing than when you finally get to the front of the line and don't fit on the ride.

Does anyone else have experience with this? Does anyone know any rides to for sure stay away from or would be for sure OK to ride?
Thanks in advance

Just off the top of my head I think space mountain might be difficult I had issues last year and I'm 5'3 and 250 pounds. I have heard that the mine train is pretty tight but can't say for sure

I am 5'7" and around 240 and thought Mine Train was a bit tight. The seating wasn't the issue so much as the safety bar. That thing was only about as wide as one of my thighs. I was able to ride though.

Not listing my numbers, but similar.

Only problem I've had is those rides with a single bar AND sharing a seat with my slight of build DD. Especially when she was very young. I was always afraid she would fly out because it stopped at MY belly, not hers.

Usually we'd solve that by having DD ride with DH (slimmer belly) and I'd ride the car behind.

My only issue with Space was leg room as I'm 6'0" The width wasn't an issue.

I love EE because I get to ride with DD... individual lap bars!
