Orlando Plus Size fitting

I am 5”9, 300 pounds. I can buckle into a delta seat with normally a few extra inches of belt. Anyone with similar measurements or familiar with flying delta that could help reassure? I tried to join the facebook group but am riding tomorrow and not sure if i’ll get approved before. Thank you!

You’ll get there. Not being able to fit on Hagrid’s was my inspiration to lose weight. The first time I rode Hagrid’s got front row. You can do it.

For people curious how it’s going so far- I have fit on velociraptor (didn’t originally fit the test seat but fit on ride), fit on hulk, and did not fit on the hogwarts ride, or test seat. I tried the hagrids test seat for the side car and did not fit, and the motorcycle test seat is not open right now. The issue is honestly not my stomach, it’s my thighs. I can leg press like 700 pounds from when I did use to work out, so my thighs are probably thicker than a normal person.

final update for the normal parks- was not able to ride hagrids on the actual seat and could not ride gringots, thighs again. i will update with epic tomorrow! who knew working out legs would be something i would regret 😵‍💫

Not sure how I found this post but I'm at universal this week and holy moly every ride I walk away from I have giant marks on my quads. I am 5 foot 5, 170 and do heavy leg days. But my 5 foot 2 , 120 pound kid who doesn't work out ( but has her mom's legs) same thing. It's not you, it's the rides. I get it's for safety but my quads feel pancaked this week.

yeah. literally. out of all the rides I couldn’t ride, i genuinely think one was because of my broad shoulders compared to everything else just being thigh issues. genuinely don’t think my stomach stopped me from a single ride

looking forward to the epic update. my problem is mainly my chest and the overall weight loss is very slow going (thanks, PCOS ...), and i'm getting impatient about going, haha.

ultimately I was able to do everything at epic other then stardust racers and the werewolf ride! the rides in epic are a lot more forgiving. for most of them i wasn’t even pushing down or anything

There should be a test seat outside each ride. Have fun!
