Info on who fits/who does not - for FJ - post here if you've been

[AlienNation]

I went in October for HHN and during our stay we went to IOA for one of our days. I am 6'1" and 275 lbs but wasn't able to fit due to my shoulders being too broad. Was able to squeeze into RRR tho wasn't very comfortable at all.

Just wanted to post for info that my husband tried to ride yesterday but did not fit. He is 5'7" and about 285 lbs. He carries most of his weight in his belly.

I was sad because the ride is so awesome!

I'm down to 300 lbs now! I still want to get at least 40 more lbs. before the end of March. I hope being 5'8 and being at least 260 then will be good enough. Fingers crossed....I was originally 355 lbs in Sept. of 2010. So just getting 55 lbs has made a huge difference in my life. Thanks for the motivation everyone!

i love hearing about the success you are making!!

Hey AlienNation, can you tell me what kind of "harness or seatbelt" that RRR uses to hold you in? Is it an over the shoulder thing or just a lap thing? I ask because my DH is 6'5" and close to 300 lbs. He's very broad an just a big dude. I pretty much figure he won't be able to ride the Harry Potter thing, but he was able to ride Hulk and Mummy the last time we were there. Curious about RRR as well as the Dueling Dragon ride. Thanks.

Hi there !

I know it's a bit tricky to ask that, since you can't see "how I am", but I plan to go 1day to WWoHP and IoA and I wonder if I could fit in the FJ seats ? Because I'm not really a fan of "big" thrill rides (I love BTMR, but not coasters with inversion), so if I couldn't fit, I won't go in IoA (well....until I lose weight !)

295lbs, 5'6"with :
Chest : 52"
High : 52"
Hips : 53"

For your information, in Disneyland Paris, I fit all the seats and harness, even Crush Coaster (with the most annoying thight harness of all the parks I swear !) and "children" rides like the Tea Cup or Casey Jr or Car's Rallye in the Studios....And I can squeeze myself very thight too

Thank you for your help !

Thanks damo. I'm assuming that "lap bar" opens up "horizontally"...for lack of a better term and then closes around. I think it might be a go for DH. Thanks

I was re-directed to this board for my question. I have read a lot of it, but everyone is giving height and weight in inches and pounds. I know not everyone is built the same, but can someone give me a "guesstimation" on size.

We have women size 22, 24, 28, and 30, not waist size, but pant size and shirt sizes.

What size fits?

I know if you're taller you might fit. If you have a big belly and buttocks you might not.

Please someone, guesstimate a size that works. Will the 22 and 24 fit and not the 28 and 30. Or because the 28 is 5'11 and carries weight well, will she ride.

I know this is crazy, but we can figure out size better than height and weight.

Please can anyone help?

I'm just trying to stop embarrassment, and plan the trip.

Thanks so much!

My husband fit, but barely. He's 6'4" and wears a 3XLT in shirts. I fit without any problem and I have a very generous bust.

I'm happy to hear the tall men are fitting in - even if just barely. My husband is 6'6" about 265 lbs. Built like a pro football player, broad shoulders, no butt and average thighs.

I hope he fits! We are headed there 2nd week of February.

On the other side, my daughter is right over 48 inches and thin. I hope they get her strapped in tight enough!

Just returned and my 6'6" 285lb husband was able to ride on FJ. He got the yellow light but no big deal. He is broad shouldered and a little bit heavy in the middle but not too bad.

My 48" daughter made it on too - she loved it!

Actually having both of them having to be pulled out of line to be double checked made our wait much shorter! We skipped the last 5 minutes of the original line because they put us in the much faster child swap line to double check my husband and my daughter.

I was happy that we all made it on - such a unique ride.

Looks like I was being too nice on my husbands weight in my first post.....285 lbs is the more accurate number. He may have been reading over my shoulder in the first post! LOL!

YAY! And thanks for posting. My DH is about your DH's size, although he is working on cutting some weight. Getting excited for summer!

I've stalled at 300lbs! Doesn't look good for me. I do feel a lot better losing 35lbs so far. My trip is late March. Maybe if I add a lot more exercise into it, I might lose the last few lbs. I still haven't cheated on my diet since the day after thanksgiving! Happy Valentines Day everyone....

Congrats. Keep up the good work. Late March is still a ways away...you have time. Do you track your food & exercise. I just started tracking it all at myfitnesspal.com (there are also apps for your phone & iPad too), but it's amazing to see what you really do eat. Helps keep it all in check.

Well some decent news, I've finally broke the 300lb mark and now I'm at 296. Hopefully this gets me to the next goal of 290. I've noticed my body shape has got a lot better when I was stalled at 300-305lbs. It will be interesting to see what I will be able to do March 24th and 25th at US/IoA.

WTG Badger, it is so hard, and gets so darn depressing! they talk one day at a time, one pound at a time -but to truly work at it - its so depressing, and can be lonely... and yet -

WTG

YOU ARE STILL AT IT!!

I was at Universal Orlando Feb 2-7 and had no problems on any rides, though I spent a lot of time worrying about it and tried every seat outside the rides. I am 5ft 1 inch, size 18-20. Rip ride Rockit was a tight fit around the middle, but not uncomfortable. I didn't even need the outside seats on Harry Potter. So short people under 210 lbs should have no problems.
