gigacoaster2k, sorry to hear about your friend. I just get silently mad and embarrassed but had they done that to my wife....I don't know... At any rate, I'm willing to forgive this because its only one of a few blemishes on a otherwise spotless record. The only other time I've been so upset was when a kid working there actually attempted to jump over the red train on Racer to get to the other side. We were already seated and the not so small guy landed right on prime territory. This was years ago though.

I would like to think they consider safety first then size ranges of potential riders second. While it's true that americans are getting bigger and bigger, plus some of us are just naturally big and tall, obviously a snug fit with the seat is a lot safer then a loose one. With the target demographic being families with children after all. So, it's not like I would be offeneded or mad if I simply didn't fit in the ride(wouldn't be the first time I was too tall\big for something), it's just their attitude about it was compleltly out of character for that park. But yea, a plus size roller coaster would be awesome. About 3 or 4 Laz-E-Boy's per train.... Oh and thanks for all the info guys. Seems like this website got a great bunch of fans together.

Oh, did you? lol, yea I was steamed. What a way to treat a veteran eh? Thanks for the welcome though everyone. We've been enjoying Kings Island for years and I've had the week to calm down so I won't let this experience ruin us on going. Just hope I get to ride the darn thing.

My wife and I had been looking forward to opening day for weeks and after suffering the semi-long drive and really long line, I was turned away from riding it because "I wouldn't fit". I was more then mildly disappointed. First of all I fit in all the other rides and more importantly the kid that kicked me off made that comment in a "too fat" sort of way rather then simply wouldn't fit. I'm six foot five inches and rather stocky but I did see them cramming bigger(around) people then I into those seats and letting them ride. Now of course I did try the seat they have at the start of the line and the person working it said I was fine. The seat was really snug and the bar felt secured in my lap. I don't know, I just sort of felt like I was being rushed out of line simply to get more people through without a fair shake. I did talk to someone about it and they offered to take us to the front of the line but by that time I was already in a bit of an embarrassed state so I passed. Reckon that's what season passes are for, I'll try again.
