those who weigh about 265 pounds or more

They are complaining about a basketball player who was able to get on weighing 265...well I believe the people who are getting turned away are the disgusting obese gross people who deserve to not put other people in danger with their fat hanging off the sides. This is a good incentive for people to lose weight and then they will be able to get on the ride. People are getting really fat and until they stop this type of thing will happen. What is sad is it seems that kids are the ones being turned away. A kid who ways 265 is the fault of the parent who should be shot or put in jail. It reminds me the that disgusting Huckster Family and how revolting they are and who wanted to represent the Americans as President...Good God Thank God that fugly family was turned away. How to lose weight....push your chair away from the table when you are full. Not a difficult concept.

I was speaking with a doctor about this “obesity crisis”. He said that very few people have a clinical reason for obesity. Most obese are diet AND exercise related issues. No self control and no exercise of significance.

I think the best response is the person who is using the ride to get in shape for his “three clicks”

I wouldn’t exactly call 250 or 265 a lard ass.

More accurately, they are rejecting people if the restraint system can’t be activated. That isn’t a factor of height or weight per see, but width. If the belt can’t go around you, or if the restraint can’t be brought down and latched, you can’t ride.

In this particular ride, I’ve heard that some people who can’t fit in the test seats have been able to fit in one or more of the real seats.

But it has to be embarrassing to sit in a ride, and then be kicked off because several operators working together just can’t squeeze the restraint around you.
