    So this is me this summer - worried if I will fit on some of the rides.

    I go to Cedar Point almost every summer (I live in Michigan and it's a quick 2 hour drive).

    Last summer I was 225 pounds and about a size 18. I fit into all the coasters I went on but Millennium Force was a tight fit, as was Magnum.

    This summer I am a size 20 and about 240 pounds. I'm going with my boyfriend and two (smaller) friends, and none of them should have a problem getting on the rides.

    Worried that I may have to do a "walk of shame" on some of the rides :neutral: has anyone been recently who is around my size?

    I know Millennium has a 'test seat' in the front before you get in line so I will do that. I'd rather wait for my friends on a bench outside for an hour or so then wait in line and not fit.

    Help! I am asking if you guys have been to Cedar Point? I've been on their website read that if you are over 200 pounds (check...I'm 290 and 5'6") and wear greater than a size 18, you will have issues riding their rides. I completely understand that people carry weight differently, but has anyone ridden there that is a size 18/20? Did you have issues with rides? I wear a size 18 comfortably right now. I dont want to drive 8 hours and not be able to ride anything. It would make for one miserable vacation. I routinely go to Hershey Park and have no issues with their rides. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
    TIA

    I thought their weight limits varied by ride. You may need to go alone on some rides, or with a smaller child.
    There are weight limits posted for several rides. The weight limits listed here are per ride unit and must be dispersed between the two to four riders that the vehicle accommodates.

    Balloon Race (300 lbs.)
    Camp Bus (440 lbs.)
    Frog Hopper (500 lbs.)
    Helicopters (220 lbs.)
    Lolli Swing (275 lbs.)
    Monster (400 lbs.)
    Peanuts 500 (275 lbs.)
    Red Baron (220 lbs.)
    Prof. Delbert's Frontier Fling (800 lbs.)
    Scrambler (510 lbs.)
    Sky Fighters (100 lbs.)
    Sky Ride (660 lbs.)
    Super Himalaya (495 lbs.)
    Tilt-A-Whirl (800 lbs.)
    Troika (330 lbs.)
    Wave Swinger (230 lbs.)
    Woodstock Express (300 lbs.)

    I have a season pass and I go all the time. For starters don't even attempt to ride wicked twister, you need to be a toothpick (not really I just fit back on it on Tuesday after not fitting last Friday) I'm 6' and weigh 250. When I was 257 it was a close call on the raptor and gatekeeper (row 6 has an extended seatbelt for the biggins on gatekeeper) most everything else should be ok. Millenium has a tight seatbelt but you can usually shoehorn in.
