Size Restrictions

I wonder what the size restrictions for MF will be like. I know we don't know the height restrictions but what about "excessive lap mass restrictions?" Personally, I don't have this problem but I'm wondering if my older sister would be able to ride. She usually has no problem getting into roller coasters such as Magnum, Mean Streak, Raptor, Mantis, etc. but I was wondering if MF would be an exception.

I would have to guess that if your sister is able to ride all of those other coasters, she will be fine on MF too, but I don't know for sure. The man who fell out of Superman Ride of Steel was over 350 pounds (supposedly). I'm sure that, if your sister can ride Raptor, she is less than that.

Actually, I saw her just today and I realized she's not as big as I thought. If she can't ride MF, it's just plain poor engineering on their part.

Nice of you to say she is not as big as you thought. I don't think they like it when we call them big. :)

I don't think there is an actual set size requirement. The requirement is that you have to be able to fit into the car and close the restraints. My cousin couldn't ride Raptor because his chest is so big that they couldn't close the restraints even with the help of the ride hosts!

I don't know for sure but somewhere in the range of 250 to 300 pounds. He's not really a fat guy but he has a huge chest.

Yeah. I saw the same thing happen to some huge body builder at SFMM with Batman. My sister knows she's big. I didn't say she was short or fat and I certainly didn't say she was horizantaly challenged. :P I don't think anyone's offended by calling them big. If they are, they're just fooling themselves. Now "fat," that's another story..
