just make them adjustable. The over the shoulder harnesses on Rock and Roller coaster adjust to the size of the person.

The last two seats on the trains in Shanghai had normal Rollercoaster seats for larger guests...
I am a big guy and so is my partner and we both fit on the regular seats...

Can anyone ride in the seated car at the end of the train, or is it reserved for larger or disabled guests? I can anticipate the bike seating being a tad too "thrilling" for me, but I wouldn't want to take the "seat car" from someone who needed it.

I'd imagine that as long as there is room, or you are willing to wait 'till there is - they'd let anyone ride this option.

Yeah, and somehow they think being taller automatically means being fatter (is that ok to say?) as well. I am very tall and skinny, so every time I do RnRC I have to decide to make it fit my shoulders but risk falling out or crush my shoulders and be secure.

its just not possible to make rides like this for every body size unfortunately.

Exactly. Safety is first and foremost. Disney does try and go above and beyond to accommodate everyone. But there is only so much.

I'm pretty sure Vekoma/Disney wants everyone to ride their rides but you can't make a ride fit every single body type out there. Some B&Ms have "big boy" seats that are slightly deeper so they can squeeze another inch of someone into it but they don't work for everyone. There isn't discrimination involved.

If anyone has any bright ideas on how to solve the "issue" for Tron then use the following contact info because I'm sure they never thought of it:

Just back recently from Shanghai, where my husband and I rode TRON (yay!!!) but not Pirates (booo...closed for rehab). MY husband has a large gut, and is 275 pounds, and he fit Tron quite easily. There is more torso/belly space than on FoP. I am 5'9" and fit, and recently had a knee replacement earlier this year, and found that TRON was very painful for me to ride, as the positioning requires you to essentially kneel. I really can't do that...but did! By the time the train pulled back into the HOLD area, while we were waiting to return to the station, I was at my wits end trying to keep weight off of my knee. Not gonna lie, it really hurt, and was the main reason I didn't ride a 2nd time.

That's my 2 cents...

thats why the ride is so short lol... I was stuck for 10 min once in the brake run before getting off... worst 10 min of my life. I can only be in those seats for 3 min.

In the same half-a**ed way they fit Guardians into Epcot.

There are story treatments where Guardians fits into Epcot, and yes "Peter Quill visited Epcot as a kid" would be one of them (he might say it's 12% of the story).

I would have liked to see TRON and Guardians in Tomorrowland and Space Mountain being rebuilt in Future World/World Discovery.
