Yeah, that's why I asked if the cars or restraints changed. I know it's now owned by Cedar Fair...and they have smaller restraints at Cedar Point. I will miss parking in Scooby doo overflow lol. I'm anxious to see how much the park has changed...last time I went, Son of Beast was pretty new and king cobra was still around. And The Bat or flight deck (not sure of the current name) was still called top gun lol

I am not proportionate right now...my waist is large but my legs are on the smaller side. So I look like I'm wearing MC hammer pants lol. So I'm hoping that will be an advantage for Diamondback. I have no desire to ride drop zone. I ride it once back in 2001 and swore I'd never do it again. I can't take the anticipation...you get to the top and never know when you're going to drop. Anxiety central lol.

Cool. I'll try the test seat for Banshee and see how close I am. If it's super close, I'll head to row 4 or 5. Thanks!

Thank you! I just didn't want to waste money for a ticket if I can't ride anything. I know by next summer I will no issue whatsoever...but I am itching to ride The Beast since its been so long. I did ride the Raven and the Voyage at holiday world a few years ago. It was a tight fit but it worked. But those are not as good as The Beast I don't have incredibly large thighs so I'm holding out hope I can ride Diamondback. Most of my extra weight is in the abdomen. Banshee...well, I'm not optimistic.

Hi all. I haven't been to Kings Island since 2001. I stopped going to amusement parks after I gained weight and couldn't fit on the rides anymore. Well fast forward to 2015...I had gastric bypass about 2 months ago and I've lost 70 pounds, which puts me back around the same weight I was in 2001. Here's my question...have the restraints or belts changed on The Beast, racer, Vortex, or Flight of Fear since 2001? I'm thinking as long as the restraints/cars/belts are the same size, I should at least be able to ride those 4 rides. Thanks in advance.
