Large Size Riders

Looking for some insight on what I may be able to fit on when we go up to CP. I weigh 320, 5'5...Thanks

Okay, you're not providing enough insight... Are you a man or a woman? Where is most of your weight carried? But at 320 I don't see you fitting on based on height and weight alone. I've seen people bigger than me fit in a ride.

JillJill, I’m a guy who is 6 foot weighing 265 ish pounds and I can fit on everything comfortably except Corkscrew. Hope this helps.

I'm at 5'11'' and was at 245 last time I was at Cedar Point and I could ride all of the coasters. At the same time, more than that I know I wouldn't have been able to ride Wicked Twister, and even still had a tough time.

Past that, and being that most of my weight is in my torso, I would've had a tough time on any over the shoulder restraint roller coasters with, probably the exception of Maverick, Gatekeeper, Valravn, and Iron Dragon (so basically just Raptor, Rougarou, and Corkscrew at this point...).

Millennium and Dragster are really unforgiving if you have weight in your lower half. Magnum, Gemini, Iron Dragon, and Blue Streak are the most forgiving in the park. I can't speak to Jr. Gemini (nope, not gonna correct myself), and Woodstock Express, but I think CCMR is relatively forgiving for your given height.

Just a heads up...if you think it may be a tight fit...some coasters have a bigger seat in row 4. Raptor and Gatekeeper, I know for certain...anyone know of any other rides for sure that have that option.

I'm thinking that Valravyn has a bigger option, (I'd look for a seat/seatbelt with 2 buckles)

This has nothing to do with heavy riders, which btw someone who is 5'5" and 320 is going to have major issues fitting on most coasters, but seriously, why do so many people have such a hard time spelling Valravn???

Knowing your clothing size or measurements would get you better info than just height and weight. Pounds can be deceiving and it's all about how you carry the weight. It can also be about knowing the tricks to squeeze yourself in.

I’m 6’3”+, 290lbs+ and I can ride every coaster except Wicked Twister. A lot of tight fits, but I ride on... I don’t see how much more accommodating we should expect manufacturers to be...
