Honestly I don't think the concerns people are having stem from feeling like they are entitled to get something from Disney. That's a bit negative thoughtprocess to have towards people's concerns really.
Yep, I was agreeing with you

Well it didn't really sound like that. It came off that people who were wanting Disney to have a disclaimer shouldn't feel like they are entitled to one.
Yeah....except this ride has restraints that are a LOT different than any ride at WDW. The way you are sitting, the way the back and leg restraints come up...is there another ride WDW has with the same seating set up? Many rides at WDW basically sit the same way in a natural sitting position. My husband already knows that some things are going to be momentarily uncomfortable so he will try and angle his legs a bit...that will not be possible in this ride with the restraints it has.
Glad you are conceding that because with all due respect earlier it didn't seem like you understood why this ride was becoming such a concern.
Yeah see I don't think people are doing that but again that comes off like you think people are entitled just because they would idealy like Disney to alert them. It's not unreasonable nor unheard of to have a warning. Like AngiTN mentioned Universal does it and other parks as well.
Agreed however I think with these previews they are still doing some body shape tests to see exactly what that warning should be.
Who does and doesn't fit on rides differs so greatly from person to person. You can have 10 people that all weigh the same or are the same height. Some can ride, some maybe not. At least that has been my experience at other parks with thrill rides. Even with similar body shapes it all varies greatly. I think that's why many parks just give that disclaimer of guests "of a certain size" or taller than... may not be able to ride. Hopefully the hype here is blown out of proportion, similar to 7dmt. Many were uncomfortable but could still close the restraints. I think it is an important topic as so many Americans are now leaning towards being on the larger side. Hopefully a test seat will be put put to solve the mystery.
they can't really be specific, more general like the one Universal has. That way people will know what to expect before they book fp.
I agree that they may be figuring it all out still but I do wonder what testing they were doing prior to these previews. They may have known there might be a possible restriction but wanted more test subjects (that sounds weird to say that) to get a better idea. I find it hard to believe that with the type of restraints they have that they didn't anticipate it or that they didn't have some sort of inkling that it was more restrictive than vast majority of their rides if not the most restrictive. Obviously I'm speculating here so I could be wrong.
In reality, that's a touchy subject to use people who are disapproved from riding. Disney disapproves entertainment CMs from long-standing roles and that's the worst out of all of the casting duties.
I agree with you agreeing.
I interacted with every group in line during the last two sessions yesterday, there were all sizes, shapes and ages. While attempting to weasel my way onto FoP, I chatted with the CMs working the entrance, I specifically asked about the size issue and at no time did they tell me that it had been an issue yet.
Which does seem to not mesh with the reports that some had to leave and were unable to ride. I am thinking it was not as wide spread as the reports made it sound. A PP mentioned that it could have been multiple reports of 1 person who wasn't able to ride and it just seems like it was many. I'm being cautiously optimistic that it's much ado about nothing
