Fat Friendly Rides?

[Foladar]

How "fat friendly" are Jimmy Neutron and ET? (Since I would presume these two would be more-so aimed towards the younger audience) .. I know the rest of them are fine with us "larger folks" .. although I can't say I've rode Hulk & Dueling Dragons, though I've heard of the larger seats and presume they should work out. I've had no problems except for Dudley (i'm guessing too large height wise, as it was my legs that gave me problems fitting in) .. thx in advance, just trying to get a bit of insight before I leave !

You wont have a problem at all. Also you are pleasantly full. I detest the F word.

There are larger seats in rows 3 & 6 of Hulk and Dueling Dragons.

Jimmy Neutron is very accomadating. The lapbars do have a certain point they must reach before the ride can start.

ET is very accomodating, as the restraint only has to come down to you.

Honestly, I have been in Jimmy Neutron when they had to keep trying to fit a larger man. They were very nice about it, but the man finally got up and just sat in the non moving seats. I felt bad, and he really didn't seem that large.

Looks like I should have no problem then, I'm more-so just larger tall wise although I do have somewhat of a belly.

I agree. I could see Jimmy Neutron being a tight squeeze for someone that is larger.

Agree, on the WDW threads, Pooh-Sized is used often (much kindler & gentler); how about Shrek-sized for the Universal boards?

BTW, my DS (60 pounds @ the time) had a problem w/his restraint...the CM's had a heck of a time getting it to work...don't think his issue was girth.

Mom says I'm husky.

Way heavier than I oughta be, and I've never had a problem with the restraints on anything. I'd wager you're gonna be just fine, unless you absolutely, positively HAVE to ride the Nutcoaster...

Hey...

Also, many people do not know that in Shrek there are seats where the armrests lift up to accomodate larger sized guests. They are located in the middle row (usually called the wheelchair row). Most of the seats in that row do have the lift-up arms. These are also to assist people who want to transfer from wheelchairs to the theater seats.

Never knew that, never had a problem there though. I've sat in those seats before though since I had my grandmother in a wheelchair last trip.

I have a question about MIB for "Shrek" sized folks. My co-worker is going to Universal with her son. She weighs about 250 lbs. I've been on MIB before, but I can't remember exactly how the seating/restraints were. Would she be OK riding this?

I'm not a female, but as a male, I'd say she should be ok. Though a woman would give you a better opinion I'm sure, I fit into it just fine and I'm probably larger than her (I'm 6'2" and around that weight)
