mine ride for BIG PEOPLE..

[neoian]

I'm 6'0" and 290. My biggest issue with this ride is the padding on the restraints (as seen below) makes my legs push together too hard and makes for quite a painful ride. I rode during the Rock Your Disney Side party and I could not imagine being stuck on the ride so I'll probably have to pass on riding until I lose some more weight.

The only other issue I've had at the parks is that my thighs are too long for Splash Mountain and I have to shift my body to the side to get the restraint down.

You can't do that because one large rider would render the bar ineffective for a small rider in the next seat.

Exactly what I was thinking...

Weird, but Josh from Easy-wdw posted on twitter a picture of himself and a stranger on the mine train to show how cramped it is and how your legs must fit in the safety bar.

oh great, i am 6-6 LOL

hope i can still ride

If it is a height issue - then I am not sure. I saw they had NBA players open it today they are usually 6'5 and up so if they rode there should not be an issue. If it just a regular lap individual lap bar like EE or BTMR then I am fine. But I keep reading contrary reports.

We rode it today. It was a very tight fit. It's almost impossible to have a bag by your feet and fit the bar. The cars are quite a bit narrower than BTMRR.

Yeah, Josh said on twitter he is about 6ft tall, so good luck!

do they have any place to stow a bag in the vehicles?

No

No

I am confused- this is a new ride with the latest technology. Why on earth is there not a place to store bags on board? I am not understanding the construction of this ride. For something that has been built for 50 years I would think this ride would be state of the art (seating wise)

im 6 foot 5, but i put up with a 9 hour lfight with my knee sticking into the metal tray table support to get to Disney, i will put up with some discomfort to ride the rides, BUT this is a brand new design, the worlds population is getting taller as well as bigger, shaving a few more inches of fake wood between each seat would surely have been possible

I find EE one of the best seated coaster in terms of legroom, lap bar comfort, width etc, surely they could have come up with something similar here, with obvuiously a few changes to make it more child friendly and have a lower ride height limit

Tobias Harris, a 6-8 NBA player fits in the ride. The other player, Victor Oladipo, is 6-4.

 

[tamotu99]

I notice they are sat in the front seat of each car, though i am guessing who they are, which tends to have more room (especially on RNRC), wonder if they would have fit in the rear seats

You guessed the wrong people. Tobias is in the back seat of the first car. Victor is the guy in the front seat of the first car.

 

[tamotu99]

ok well the guy in the purple first row of second car looks tall as well

 

[xdan0920]

Tobias Harris is 6'8" 235lbs. He's a supremely fit pro athlete though, so his weight is distributed well. Same goes for Oladipo. Height is not the issue here.

The ride is pretty tame compared to BTMRR & Space Mountain, so I guess they felt a stow bag wasn't needed. I just put my backpack at my feet - it hardly moved.

This sounds like an instance where a mock ride vehicle, placed inconspicuously outside the attraction, would come in handy. Could save a lot of people a lot of wasted time in line and embarrassment.

I totally agree with this. In cases almost in any park where there may be an issue with people fitting they do this.

Hmmm... I wonder if we'll see a lapbar redesign like Space Mountain did. When they first introduced the single-seat rockets with lapbars (replacing the in-line seating with a seatbelt for two people), they had a U-shaped lapbar that was rather restrictive. Eventually they were refitted with the T-bars we have on the trains today.

There's no possible way! If the padding wasn't so thick, maybe...
