Seven Dwarves Coasters - Uncomfortable Seats?

[barbaraann]

I read a comment on another website about the fact that the seats on the new Seven Dwarves Coaster are made for children, and very uncomfortable for an adult. The poster said that they were bounced around pretty good, and came away with bruises.

I am no lightweight, and I definitely do not have the body of a kid. For those of you who have been on the ride. Just how comfortable are the seats? I don't want to announce my weight to the world, but I should lose about 50 pounds.

I'd like to ride the ride at least once, but I'd like to know what to expect when I use the fastpass that I have just made for AUgust.

This is a "kiddie" coaster like Goofy's Barnstormer. We did not find the ride uncomfortable in any way. The ride is quite tame. I wouldn't hesitate to ride it if I were you.

I didn't have any problem riding it.

DD had a problem with her hips hitting the contours of the seat. I don't think I would advise my DH or DS to even try. They would not fit.

My DH is 6'6" and he had no problems on it. No one in my party was uncomfortable.

DH is 6'2 and had no problem with comfort or leg room. I found the ride to be very smooth.

Glad I saw this thread as DH is 6'4" and has a bad knee....so if the bar or edge of the seat is right at the knee it takes away from the ride being fun sometimes. Sounds like he will be fine! What ride would you say the seats are most comparable to?

The seats did feel more snug to me than the other rides, but I didn't find them uncomfortable. And as PPs have said, the ride is a tame coaster, along the thrill level of Barnstormer. The theming is fantastic though and I loved it.

There was a thread within the past few days where somebody posted a picture of what the seats look like.

Here's a lengthy thread on the 7DMT seats. I think this is the one where someone actually measured the width of the lap bar.

Here is a rather long running thread on this topic.

Thanks very much for the speedy reply. I will definitely read up on these seat configurations. I am no pixie, but no where near an Ursula either.

FWIW, I'm also 6'4" and have one knee that's pretty much shredded. I was on the Mine Train in May with no issues. I think most of the concerns are if you have very thick legs or very wide hips, the restraint bar will be difficult for you.
