Cedar Point fitting on rides.

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
Postby CoasterDude12-2 on July 30th, 2011, 3:08 pm
It's been awhile since I've been to Cedar Point...but I might go there sometime this week.

I have trouble fitting on Bull, Batman, and Superman. Iron Wolf is a tight squeeze. Sometimes I simply can't get on the rides..it sucks. I don't want to go to Cedar Point and not be able to ride anything. Are there any rides I should be concerned about? Top thrill dragster and Millenium Force I remember being tight.

Thanks.


EDIT: After a bit of searching, I see Galvan has kindly written the book on this issue...


Thanks much.

Well if Batman is tight then Raptor will be tight. I think Raptor has one or two rows of bigger seats. MF and TTD will probably be issues. Maybe BS and MS will be tight

Maverick might be an issue. That thing has a very small restraint if I remeber correctly

I think if you fit MF and TTD you should fit Maverick

I find Mantis and Iron Wolf about equally difficult to get into, and Maverick will not be as difficult as MF and TTD. One ride that I really struggled with was Wicked Twister even though I can ride V2 just fine. For whatever reason it seemed like the harness needed to be down much further down than V2 to the point that I was just barely able to make it work and it was one of the most uncomfortable rides I've ever had. The arrows will all be fine except for maybe the Mine Ride (but you're not missing anything with that one anyway). Wildcat can be a bit tight, but it should be manageable.

Maverick is the easiest of the 3 Intamins by a long shot. In fact I wouldnt even worry about it.

Yeah definitely Millenium, Top Thrill, Mantis, and Wicked Twister. Everything else is fine I would say. My brother though couldn't fit on Wicked Twister, but he barely, barely fit on Millenium. He didn't even try Top Thrill, and he doesn't like Mantis.

You shouldn't have any issues getting into Mean Streak or Blue Streak if MF/TTD are even relatively close. It will be tight, but you'll fit just fine.

The problem I run into with Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster is the seatbelt; it's really short. There's not really a good way to get on that, just sit as far back as possible and get the belt over the smallest cross section of your body. If you can make those, you're fine on everything else as mentioned. Maverick has some large OTSRs from what I remember, so that really shouldn't be a problem unless you have a huge upper body. I don't think any of the rides at Cedar Point have seats for larger individuals. I do recall though that Dueling Dragons and Hulk at IOA have a few rows with 2 larger seats.
