I have been searching and searching on regards if I'm too fat to ride some of the coasters at CP. I've gained some baby weight and I'm paranoid and confused, on what I've read. I'm a female, almost 5'5" and weigh 203lb, But I carry my weight like a man, I have narrow hips and no butt, and thinner thighs, around my belly button is about 40", i also wear 13/14 pants, which in men's that'd convert to 35/36. So I'm confused, cause on the website it says women that are 200lbs and men that have a waist of 40" (where do you measure for the waist anyways), so does that mean I'm too fat? But I've also read on here where woman, who wear a size bigger pant size than i do have no problems getting on and some who do and most of the men sizes were so over the place I just couldn't tell. I'm planning on going up there soon, but I don't want to go if I'm going to be too embarrassed by being asked to leave the ride, I just might vomit on myself. I've been working on weight loss for myself, for awhile now, and have lost a bit of weight and still loosing, so I'm not lazy, I'm just not where I want/need to be.
You will probably be good for most of the rides. The only problems would be Mille and Dragster. Dragster is the hardest to get on of them all. I'm 6'3" 180 and have to extend the belt all the way to buckel it and then pull it tighter. I think it is because my legs are so long though, but anyways you should be fine on most of the other ones. Just sit in the front of the cars there is more room.

I am 250lb and 6'. I fit fine on everything. Dragster is snug though. I think that you will be ok.
2008 visits = 38, 2009 = 19, 2010 = 11, 2011 = 14, 2012 = 10, 2013 = 14, 2014 = 14, 2015= 13, 2016 = 11, 2017 = 5, 2018 = 3
Glad I am thin, no offense to anyone on here, but I am 23, and I know it all goes downhill from there. (metabolism slows!) At least my set of........well, never mind. They will hold their form, in a way.......:)
sorry, couldn't resist......
I do feel bad for heavier people, though. I hate when they wait 2 hours in line just to be kicked out of the ride and to march outta the station as people watch them. But the test seats are there for a reason, however.....:)
I was on a train for Dragster on Sunday with my friend and we counted 5 people who got kicked off one train for being to large. Thats a record from what I have seen. Our train was almost empty.

Thanks a lot, but that's discourageing. For the other person. I was thin, but I was put on bed rest for most of my pregnancy and that's when I gained a lot of weight. I'm working on loosing it now, I go to the gym 3-6 times a week. And your metablism does not slow down with age, it slows down as you loose muscle mass, if you do not loose the muscle then your metablism does not slow down. This time next year though, I will not have this issue. I'm fat, but my baby's alive because I listened to the doctor and did nothing, so it's worth it to me.
IMO, this year, Dragster has a shorter belt (because of it being routed over the bar) than Millennium. I can usually pull the belt tight on Millennium and have 2 to 3" of space between the buckle and the red loop. On Dragster it is closer to 1 to 2".
The ride broke down while we were waiting to get off of Dragster and we had to sit there for a good 10-15 minutes waiting to unload (we eventually were "evacuated"). I had a great chance to look at the routing over the bar, and, if I really wanted to, I could have forced it down, under the bar. Now, because I like CP and don't want to get banned, I didn't, but it's something I feel the park can and should do.
