question on mission space

[fastpassguy23]

according to the sign it says that people of certain shapes and sizes cannot ride. can overweight people ride this attraction?

 

[mkt]

a bit on the large side, no problem...

severely overweight... you will have trouble fitting

 

[fastpassguy23]

will they kick you off the ride if you do not fit?

 

[mkt]

if the restraints can't fit over you, then you cannot ride...

 

[toystoryma]

are the restraints like the ones on rollercoasters that go over your head or are they like lap belts?

 

[mkt]

over your shoulders, and these HAVE to go all the way back. If you cheat on these, you're liable to get really sick.

 

[ISTCrew20]

Yea, there exactly like a rollercoaster, except they come down to your lap

 

[toystoryma]

ok, so how big does a person have to be to not be able to ride?? Im not overly overweight, but I have a large chest after nursing two children, so I was wondering if that would make a difference?

Only once on one rollercoaster (in NY) a restraint didnt lock all the way down because of my chest, but I was still allowed to ride. I just felt like I could've used one more click to feel totally secure ya know?

I probably just gave way too much info for anyone to ever want to know lol.. but I dont want to go to MS and then be embarrased because they may tell me my chest is too large

 

[ISTCrew20]

I dont wan touch subject with a 10 foot pole LOLOL....Anyway, you'll be fine, just a little squished I guess

 

[toystoryma]

hehe.. thanks :lol: Sorry for putting too much info out there lol.. I just want to ride this so bad, I didnt want to keep my hopes up and then be turned down to ride.

squished I can deal with :lol:

 

[JonnyK]

Im like Average.. Not Over Weight, I shouldnt have any problems riding this. :animwink:

 

[DonickCo]

my guess on a max size would be a 6' man around 340 lbs.

I would hate to be the CM that has to say "Sir you are over weight limit, you may not ride M:S, Sorry!"

 

[tinkerbell2]

So, Can you ride the ride if you are petite and thin?

 

[mine1204]

My son is 6'6" tall and a 300 lbs and he has ridden Mission:Space twice.

Theoretically, the weight limit is 300 lbs. per seat, for a total of 1200 lbs. per capsule. Realistically, unless someone is massive - like 400+ - there shouldn't be a problem (at least in the vast majority of cases). The front line of the Tampa Bay Bucs' defense would probably not be able to all ride in one capsule as their cumulative weight would exceed the limit. Put them in separately with a few 150 pounders though...no problem.

Height-wise, the maximum restriction is 84 inches or 7 feet. Except for a few NBA players there won't be many folks that fall victim to that restriction.

Not nearly as extreme as real NASA restrictions...astronauts can't be over like...5'9" or 5'10"...I don't remember the exact number, but they have to be short...you think Mission: SPACE is confined...nothing like the space shuttle.
