Great Blog Walter! Can anyone answer a question for me? Does Manta have weight restrictions? Would a Pooh sized person fit?

Thanks!

Great blog and photos! I will never, ever ride this, but it was fun to read about, nonetheless!

My heart started racing when I saw what you sit in. Great job and great pictures...however I will proudly admit that I will be the one standing there staring at it saying "no way...ever...not a chance!!!"

Universal also puts a "test seat" out front because not all coaster seats are created equal. Pooh sized folks often cannot ride certain coasters.

yeah - I finally got through all the podcast where they asked about weight restrictions. I guess you just sit in the test seat and try it out. I have never had any problems at WDW, but was an uncomfortable tight squeeze at Holiday World in IN.

I didn't specifically look for any weight restrictions when I rode it on Monday. Only saw the 54" height restriction. Now, the guy in front of me weighed in at probably 250 pounds at about 5'9"... and he was in there like swimwear. He mentioned it was a little uncomfortable, but not bad. hope this helps

Wow, just looking at that coaster makes me cringe. I'm pretty sure I would stroke on that thing. Still, it looks very cool. Kudos for the awesome blog, Walter.
