I searched for the thread on this and read it, but it was a bit dated.

I'm a big guy (6'2", 375 lbs). It's been a few years since we've been to WDW. In the past, I haven't had any major issues at WDW. When we visited last, we weren't able to ride FOP (no FP, 200+ min wait). We did ride 7DMT, and that and SM were probably the 2 most uncomfortable, but I made it.

I'm curious if anyone my size has any new intel, especially about some of the new rides - RotR, Slinky Dog, M&MRR, etc.

Thanks in advance.
 
I'm 5'5 and 220, so not a close match, but MMRR is just a bench seat and should be fine. Can't help as much with the other two!

I’m 5-9, somewhere between 340 and 370 depending on the month...

Never had an issue on Slinky or RotR. Slinky was a little tight, but nowhere near as bad as 7DMT. Haven’t done MMRR yet, but my friends tell me it’s a bench seat with no size issues. My girlfriend and I also always go solo on Alien Swirling Saucer because it’s a single seatbelt, and isn’t a guarantee to fit with two Pooh-sized people in the same car.
 

I've been on Rise and the seatbelt is plenty long. It's long like the seatbelt on Tower of Terror. I did have to lean to the side in order to find where the seatbelt clicks into but once that was done I was good to go.
Runaway Railway is a long seat with a pull down lap bar and again I had no problems with it.
Haven't been on Slinky Dog or Seven Dwarves, so I couldn't tell ya.
Midway Mania is about as tight for tall pooh-size guests as Buzz Lightyear. It's doable and totally worth it.
Swirling Saucers I did with me and a non-pooh-size family member and I had a blast!
Trying to think what else. I didn't ride FOP because I knew I wouldn't fit. Rode by myself on Splash Mountain and fit fine. Big Thunder Mountain was fine.
Oh! Space Mountain was kind of awkward and uncomfortable and I probably wouldn't do that again. I swear I came up out of my seat two or three times. (I was in the back)
 
I don't think any of those are anywhere near as tight at 7DMT.
I would totally agree with this. MMRR - no problem. RotR, not quite as roomy as MMRR, but you should still be fine. SDD - it's more roomy than 7DMT, but you will probably still be a little cozy.
 
Don't know if it was mentioned but Everest has a test seat. If your legs can fit between the lap bar and the lap bar can come down, you're good to ride.

Slinky Dog I rode in the back and was assured I'd have no problem fitting. I'm convinced the back seat is a little bigger but that could be me.

Navi River Journey the leg room is very ample and it's just a 4 person boat. I stretched out and enjoyed the peaceful boat ride.
