I believe that if a person can get the seat belt on w/out it breaking or the person's stomach not looking all doubled over and crap, they should be able to ride. Now i can understand if your 500+ pounds and just drank 6 cokes (trust me, that can REALLY inflate ya), but come on, 1" of slack? youll practically get thrown out of your seat with enough g forces. rides these days are getting more and more intense, and guests should be as secure as possible (without choking the heck out of them). im not fat at all, but when you deprive large guests of their freedom to entertainment and pleasure (as far as amusement parks are concerned), thats just plain wrong (but if they're too overweight it becomes more of a health hazard)

I dunno my waist, but I'm not fat. I just rode it last summer, which better not have been the last time I ride it. (that was the first time too) Oh, well if I can't ride it, I'll just have to watch what I eat [lol]

Ok well here are my two suggestions:

1. Either Americans can diet, instead of being lazy fat asses.

2. CP can have the overwieght peeps sign a releasal form, that says that CP is not responsible for any accidents or deaths. Then they can ride any coaster they want. [:D]

Man I cant ride the rides then because I am 7 feet 6 inches tall and I weigh 178 pounds but I still cant ride because my thy muscels are giant and are so long they go up to my waist an they make my waist exactly 36 inches.So there saying I have to loose a little muscle to sit.Ha.Like that will ever happen.No effence to people who are fat but.Why should people lose weight just to be able to sit in a seat it is like saying ok gerbals run in the wheel and lose some wait to go through the tube.Are they trying to make people go on diets.I mean 75% of all americans are over weight and Cedar Point is probably the most popular park in the USA so they will not be able to run the park anymore because tons of americans are overweight.The seats for the ride should be like the ones on gwazi at BGT.They should have a wall between each seat and Have the seats different sizes.I mean sure people are overweight and wanna ride coasters at CP well they cant because CP doesnt bother to upgrade the ride seats.Then it is just CP's fault.

he means how can you possibly only weigh that? a helthy weight for a 6'5" (like me) is about 220 pounds

Personally (not to offend any1) I think that you shouldnt be overwieght anyway. Just eat right and exercise regularly! DUH! So I think its fair that if your fat or to tall, that you cant ride.
