Will I be able to ride the rides?

Hey everyone, I let myself go awhile ago and worked a very stressful and sedentary job for years. I now left that life behind and am hitting the gym 6 days a week and loving life again. We are trying to plan a trip to the point for the 4th, however, here is my current situation:

Weight: 340lbs
Waist: Not sure, cause my jeans are 42 and 44 but my 44 shorts don’t fit.

I’m losing 2-3 lbs a week and increasing intensity and duration every week.

Where do I need to be to ride all rides?

Thanks!

I started having problems at 280 with overhead restraints. I didnt have any issues once I got below 260. My weight was mostly stomach and chest, as my butt is small. Certainly the more aggressive rides may be an issue, raptor, rougarou, milly, TTD. Maverick is more generous with its restraints you might be good there. Depends on body weight distribution. Try some test seats and see where you stand. I’d say once you get under 300 you’ll be fine on most other coasters (magnum, Gemini, iron dragon) but might need to get down more for more intense stuff. Feel free to message me for more detailed info on the issues I faced.

How tall are you? I would have to loose 60 lbs to fit into 42-44 pants. Lol.

Forget Wicked Twister, I way 190 and just barely fit.

I think it will be difficult for you to fit into the more intense rides, the seat belts are awfully short.

Don't give up on your goals, I have Asthma and decided to do the same thing you did 3 years ago. I weighed 240 and said enough.

I am in the greatest shape of my life right now, take it one day at a time.

Cedar Point can do you a lot of good, if you walk the park an entire day, front and back, front and back a couple of times, next thing you know you just walked 10 miles.

Good Luck, Don't Get Discouraged, It Takes Time.

I clocked 10.5 miles at Kings Island with my fitness watch on opening day.

That’s awesome. I weigh 265 with 40X32 pants, 40 shorts. Going to KI this weekend, and CP next weekend. Should I be ok?

6’4” 290lbs. 42” pants & shorts. Only thing I couldn’t ride last year was Wicked Twister.
