Waist size and lapbelts?

My waist size is around 42". I go to Cedar Point every year and I normally don't have any problems getting on rides like MF, TTD, Maverick, etc. Did they reduce the size of the belts this year, and if so, is there anybody who has between a 40"-44" waist that was able to go on these rides? Also, if they did, do you know if they update their test seats as well?

Thanks!

I am a 38-40 and MF was very snug for me... Dragster was fine.


I went opening day and had no problem with either MF or TTD and am a 38. But. from what i keep hearing it might depend on where you sit.

That sounds like the person who was cutting the belts, did not cut them all to the same length. Were you sit down on one sit and your fine, but another seat and it's a tight fit.

Stupid question. What row did you ride in so us "larger" guests might know were to sit.

Im glad this was brought to the table. Two years ago I could ride Milli and Dragster with ease. This year I cant ride Millie ir Dragster at all. I do not have any problems on any other coaster except for the two. So I have been cutting what I eat and working a little harder with eating less. And I have dropped 10 lbs and now im down to a size 40. So im going down this coming weekend to see if I can ride....

Front Seat on Dragster - Back seat on Mforce. 38-40.


I cant really reember where we rode MF at the 3 times we rode, but we rode all three colors and towards the back. TTD was somewhere in the middle both times.

It sounds to me like Cedar Points "restraint system requirement" section is fairly accurate to be fair. They say guests with a 40" waistline (or larger) "may not be accommodated". I have yet to see anyone who measures (not wears) 38" around the waistline say they couldn't fit.
