Seat Size

Can anyone explain why the seats are so small on the Wicked Twister. I admit I am a over weight, but I am not very large. I am 5'5"/220 lbs, and the belt would not connect to the harness and I could not ride.

I understand they want to keep them tighted and confined for saftey, and I understand why very large people couldn't fit, but this is a little ridicilous. I have not had a problem on any of CP coasters, or any other coasters I rode all over the country, but this one seems a little small.

I'm 6'4" and about 250 and fit with room to spare. WT is now #2 right behind MF in my favorite coaster list at CP. I'll try and get a TR for you guys sometime this weekend. I swear that on sunday night (8-11) we were being launched close to full power because it felt way different from the previous days, alot more twisting action in the front seat. We came very close to the top, 4 seats were just below the final support.

It doesn't have to do with stomach size. It all has to do with shoulder size. If you have broad shoulders (Like I do) you may have a problem. I'm 17 years old, 5'9" 225 pounds. The restraint was bit snug on my shoulders, but that's it. However, I think it would be in CP's best interest to order longer belts for the ride. If I'm not mistaken they've already got a longer belt for the test seat.

I wouldn't considered myself large in the shoulders, but I'am large in both the gut, and the chest. In a suit jacket I would be a 48" Short.

My husband is 6'4", 260 lbs and couldn't fit in the test seat in May for WT. He hasn't actually tried to ride WT yet.

He did not fit in V2 at SFGAm. He doesn't have much of a gut, but he does have broad shoulders.

I've seen someone not being able to ride because they had bid thighs, not shoulders...they really should retrofit the restraints to conform to a larger group of people.

I wonder if everyone over at Intamin is skinny. ;)
