Specs on coaster seats for larger ppl

My wife and i have been.planning a trip for a few weeks now. Everything was fine till she told me a story about her last visit a few years ago. She is a bustier lady and could not latch the overhead harness on Raptor (from the info she gave me, i assume its that one). Is there any info out there with specifications on the coaster cars that i can compare with her measurements? We would like to know before we're in line and prevent a potentially embarrassing situation.

There are no measurements other than the test seats that I'm aware of. GateKeeper and Valravn shouldn't be a problem, but all the other rides with OTSRs may be a tight squeeze if it's like that for Raptor. If she's talking about Wicked Twister, though, that's understandable.

There are testing seats at the entrance of rides, you sit in them as you would if it was on the track.
If the harness fits and seatbelt works you are okay to ride and it is the easiest way to avoid embarrassment.

And saves time ^

Some test seats aren't very accurate though. However, they really do save a lot of time

Valid question, though.. Btw for those of us "of exceptional size" have any of the belts been shortened since last year? Gemini, BS? Have magnum's been reshortened after management went nuts and expanded them a bit last season? A little recon would be appreciated, don'tcha know?

I think the test chair at the front of the line can be just as embarrassing as the walk of shame. (Obviously saves a lot of time though still.) It would be sweet if there was one indoor spot where you could test out the seats for all the rides that have seats at the front of the line. Somewhere near the front of the park (better yet, outside of the front gate)

You do realize there are 4 gate entrances to the park, which in your best case scenario would require 4 sets of every type of test seat. This would take up a lot of space and maintenance time. Having the seat at the ride entrance by the ride host allows the employees to assist with the test seat and to ensure proper fit.

It could be something added to the guest service center.
