I'm a pretty big dude and I'm planning to go to Kings Island with my friend this Sunday and I'm just wondering if I'll be able to fit into the rides. I don't want to get up there and not be able to ride anything. I'm 6'2" and probably 340lbs. Thanks

This topic has been discussed ad-nausem and while I understand your concern, you could search and find similar answers to what I'm about to tell you.

Who knows if you'll fit? There's a lot of factors that go into it.

Diamondback has a test seat, try that out first before you wait. Any other ride, if you go up to the exit and ask a ride operator they'll let you in, let you try out a seat and then you can decide if it's worth waiting in line.

I would sit down first and have a buddy help with the seat belt if applicable and push down on your restraint.

I'm really looking for first hand experiences from others around my size and a little smaller. It's an hour and a half drive and having to pay for tickets. I don't want to go up there for no reason. Thanks to the 2 that have posted.

Well, Im 23 and 185, My restraint usually clicks I would say about 6 times before im secure, so I don't know its kind of iffy. I would say Diamond Back would be the hardest to fit into, But thats just my 2 cents.

Diamond Back I probably wouldn't even attempt with all that I've heard about the size haha.

Gordon just told you it has a test seat, its before you walk in the queue. Test it out and go from there.

I'm 13, 5'11, and 165lbs. I think on most rides the lap bar has to click at least twice, Mine usually goes back about 4 clicks. I don't really count but that is my best estimate.

I doubt you fit on the majority of the coasters.

I would tend to agree ^.

I am also a big dude, 6'3 260. I fit fine on all of the coasters at KI and CP.

If its gonna be close, I would look to the soul searching wisdom of Ron White- "Ever take a crap so big your pants fit better afterward?"

Why yes, I have, Tater Salad.

Gordon told you what to do, You're allowed to go up the rides exit, call over a ride OP and ask to see if you fit in the seat, most guests are unaware that you can actually do this and it saves you wait time.

By the stats you gave, I think you will have trouble finding a ride that you fit in.

Guests Of Larger Size

All passenger restraint systems, including lap

bars, shoulder harnesses and seatbelts, must be

positioned and fastened properly to allow guests

to ride.

Due to rider restraint system requirements, guests

of larger size may not be accommodated on some

of our rides. This may apply, but not be limited to,

guests who exceed 6'2" or those who exceed 225

pounds, have a 40" waistline or 52" chest. You may

enter the ride via the exit to ensure the restraints

function properly prior to waiting in line. Test seats

are located at the queue entrance of Delirium and

Diamondback.

I went to Cedar Point not long ago with my dad. He's your height and a little bit smaller. He fit on Magnum, Mean Streak, Blue Streak, Corkscrew, and Iron Dragon. I'll tell you that the ONLY rides with shoulder restraints you have any chance of fitting on are Flight Deck, and MAYBE Vortex, but it'll be REALLY close if you do fit. You will not fit on Invertigo or Firehawk. I would place money on that. Adventure Express is pretty accommodating generally, I see no reason to believe you wouldn't fit on it. The woodies (Racer and Beast) use the same trains that my dad fit on at Cedar Point BUT their restraints had a lot more precision in their "notches" so it was very easy for him to get the two or three he needed. You may have a hard time on Racer and Beast, as two notches is quite a lot on those. I have no idea with Diamondback, but the size of your legs would be the factor there. A big belly wouldn't matter as much as big legs I don't think. I've seen big people fit on Backlot surprisingly, so my gut tells me you might be fine there, but those cars are NOT roomy, even for a little guy. Same trains and same rules on Flight of Fear, except it has a seatbelt that has to connect to the restraint, so it'll be a little bit less "fluffy friendly". I think that covers the major coasters. As for flat rides, Delirium and Drop Tower are the big ones, and I don't think you'll fit on those, the restraints are not accommodating. And WindSeeker... I don't even know... It uses a lap bar that pulls down from over your head, so I want to say you'll be fine, but I've never seen a big person even try, so I really don't know.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'd hate even more to have you spend a bunch of time and money to not get to have any fun on the rides. Though having said that, the park does offer fantastic shows (Particularly Ed Alonzo's Psycho Circus. Great show, and a great guy). And of course, blue Ice Cream, which is a KI classic. So while I think you could still have a good time, I don't think you'll be able to do a whole lot of riding. :/

Thanks everyone, I decided yesterday to not go. From what everyone is telling me I see I made the right choice. Oh well it's for the better, this motivates me to lose weight for next summer and not only that turns out I need a new heater core for my truck so at least I have the money for that now haha.

Im 13 6'0 and 210 pounds. And i can fit on ALL rollercoasters even WoodStock Express.

Im 5'2 250lbs and can fit on everything but Diamondback (And I did that once).
