kingsislandfan1972 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I rode the ride "Sol Spin" for the very first time at WinterFest last week, and I have to say it was a very impressive ride and honestly it was a great addition to Kings Island, however I do feel like the seats are very uncomfortable and me being around 270 pounds it didn't quite feel right to me. As I said before amazing ride, but does anybody else feel like the seats are uncomfortable as well? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I feel like the seats want to kind of tilt you forward, which I find uncomfortable. Once the ride starts moving it does not adversely affect my experience. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoan Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 The seats suck. But the ride is good 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSkyFoxx Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Nope. I find the seats perfectly fine. Their more rigid posture request makes sense for the kind of ride that it gives. So its not a bother for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvingKI Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I'm 6"5 and when you get on it and have to sit there and wait for them to strap you in, I have to bend my neck at a very awkward way while I wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super7 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 The seats are the most uncomfortable that I have ever experienced on a flat ride. The hard plastic digs into my hip bones as soon as I sit down and the entire ride. I am 34 waist size so not unusually wide or large. It’s very painful. I’ve tried the ride twice and given up on it. I am 6 ft 3 and have to contort to get under the restraints since they only rise up even with the top of the seats. Chalk it up to poorly designed Zamperka junk. They couldn’t even get this thing ride to tilt full 90 degrees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a huge fan of the ride it made me nauseous but I’m willing to give it another try next time I go. Those of you wondering about spinning coasters, I’ve ridden lots and Sol Spin is way more nauseating than any coaster I have ever ridden. Which is too bad but I’m not giving up yet. Maybe I just had a bad ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIBeast Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I didn't find the seats to be uncomfortable at all. However, it may vary between body types and sizes, so I can't speak to everyone's experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatbandguy8807 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 The seats for me poked me in the legs as I sat there. Just sitting there it was painful but as the ride was going (for me at least) it felt like the pain subsided for me. I'm not sure if I just got used to it or if while riding, the forces resituated me better into the seat. I actually got off the ride feeling like it was lackluster. I had it to be more intense on the g-forces in my head than what it really was. I'm glad I rode it but for me it's probably not something I will ride all that frequently. Definitely not in the summer with the long lines. I had only a one cycle wait during winterfest (only cause they closed the gate just before I got up to it while they were loading). I could see myself getting on it if thr wait is very minimal but I don't really see that happening often wjth the low capacity.
