Plus size on the FJ

[Vowelmommy]

I am really nervous about riding the FJ. I am 5'10' and a size 22. I know they limit who can ride, and my boys will be so disappointed if I can not ride with them. What are your experiences with this ride?

This thread should help. It is very long but has lots of first hand accounts.

Start at the end and work backward as FJ seats were modified a while back to allow more people to ride, meaning the earlier posts (before the modification) may no longer apply.

Curses! damo beat me to it.

Thanks you guys. It seems like I will probably be ok in the modified seats, but I think I am going to try and drop a few pounds in the next 3 months to be safe!

I was scared to death before I went, even after reading that entire thread. I'm 5'8" and wear size 24 and am bottom heavy. We went thru the single rider line and not one TM said a word to me about fitting in the ride or testing the seats. When we got to the front of the line they just waved me thru. Everything was going so fast, I asked the young kid loading people, are all the end seats modified now. He said, Yes! and waved me on again. I hopped in and it was so loud and crazy in there I have no idea how many times it clicked. I sat there nervously and a TM walked by and gave us a thumbs up and off we went to the best ride EVER! You should be fine! Have fun!!

^ did you have trouble with any of the other rides? I wear about a 20 or 22 depending on the brand and have wide hips. I'm just worried about the rip rockit and the coasters

Hulk and Dragon Challenge both have modified seats in Rows 3 and 6 I believe. Not sure about HRRR, but it has a different restraint system than the others and I don't recall seeing any posts about anyone having issues with it--could be wrong though.
