Roller coaster seats?

Question

I'm going to six flags magic mountain with a friend who is worried about fitting into the seats. She's on the bigger side wears an 18. She not worried about the harnest but whether she can can fit into the side because she's got wide hips. She can sit in a movie theatre seat fine and those are on the small side so we were wondering if the roller coasters seats are about the same or bigger/smaller.

Answer 1

She should not have any problems. I live near 3 major amusement parks (both Disney parks and Knott's Berry Farm). I have seen a lot of larger people fit into the seats with no problems at all.

Answer 2

Some rides (usually the type where your feet hang over) have special seats for bigger people.  They will usually let people on a ride as long as the seat belt and lap/shoulder bar can lock, but a lot of it is up to her comfort level.  I would think that a size 18 would be able to fit most rides, but I can't be for sure.

Answer 3

I have seen some really big people fit into them. I doubt she'll have any   problem

Answer 4

she shouldnt have a problem :)

Answer 5

imma 26 and wide butt, I fit fine. no problem

Answer 6

they have to be relativly the same size. your friend isnt the only one with this problem and the workers and engineers would be more considerate.

Answer 7

I dont think you have to much to worry about. If the people say shes to big for a ride then shes to big. just go to a different one. They arent all the same size you know. It really just depends on the ride.
