![]() And many of these rides have single-position lapbars. The scary thing to me is how many children's coasters I've been able to ride with restraints that really should be designed to keep a small child in place, not a chunky adult. And I don't think there's any fixing that short of simply losing weight. I had in issue with El Toro this weekend where I fit, but the lapbar dug into my gut in a way that was quite painful during the ride and kept me from at all being able to enjoy the ride. And I'm right on the threshold of being good in the standard B&M OTSR's vs needing the big-boy seats (and the difference can often be how late in the day it is and how much I've had to eat/drink throughout the day). That being said, I'm certain there's no chance I'd be able to fit in Wicked Twister now because of the new belt configuration. I've ridden over 600 coasters, and I've never not fit on a coaster I've been trying to ride (5'7", 250lbs). Or when a park has unusually short belts when compared to other comparable rides (a la CGA). Or when the park keeps changing seatbelt lengths and buckle positions (lookin' at you, Wicked Twister). When a ride isn't consistent from seat-to-seat or when the test seat doesn't match the actual ride. ![]() This kind of thing is what's so frustrating. They put me in the seat in front of me and then I fit with plenty of clearance to spare. I was really confused why I fit fine on my first lap but then couldn't fit when I got back around to ride again. Idk if other Intamin rides have those as I’m not too well traveled. My dad (~6ft, >300lb) couldn’t fit the seats with the black things but had zero problem in the ones without them. Wish I had a picture to show what I’m talking about. If for whatever reason you have trouble getting into the seats with those things, then take the back row of the car, which doesn’t have them. ^Tip for SFA’s Superman since you mentioned it: The front row of each car has these black things in front of you that make it hard for some people’s legs to fit.
