I haven't been to a theme park in years for precisely these reasons. Also, I overheat easily. If I'm going to walk around in the heat and eat concessions food, I'd rather go to the state or county fair. It's much cheaper and the food is better.

Has anyone had any interesting experiences as a fat person at a theme park ie. Going on a rollercoaster and filling multiple seats. Or just eating lots of food at a park.


I like theme parks but they never liked me most rides I can't fit on and walking Alot can get to anyone especially of larger size but I've always found ways to have fun, food, the arcade, or other attractions they have available

My partner found Disney to be most accommodating. At 6 ft and 300 with a lot of belly he could do everything except 1 and really he was just freaking out about the coaster. There's a good article out there about "pooh" friendly rides.

Universal awful. He got rejected from a few which was unchill. But most places try to have test seats. And they did give line cut passes for our whole group which was a little nice. It seemed like more bottom heavy people fit in things better, but idk. The lap bar is unforgiving.


But more positive, I went on a ride with my bbw friend, one of those fair rides that goes in a circle usually with like music. But I sat on the outside and she was fighting to not crush me. It was pretty on the nose for me. And she brings it up all the time lol.

I was about 250lb. when I last visited a theme park. It was July, and I sweated profusely even then. Now I'm around 650lb. I'd go if there were enough non-ride attractions, i.e. Epcot or Dollywood, or to see holiday decorations or shows. I'd need my own scooter, and it would also have to be during the cool months.

Went to Dollywood with my 400 lbs partner. He didn't get on any of the rides (although he still wouldn't have gotten on the rides even if he could fit because he doesn't do heights). But he still had a lot of fun.

Lots of fun things to see and do, even if you don't get on the rides. Although he did get on this lazy river ride. He had to get a seatbelt extender, but he fit just fine.

I'm also reeeeally not a fan of heights. A few years ago, a friend bought a condo on the 18th floor of a building, and she was very excited to have a balcony. The view is coveted, but I never went beyond the doorway. I may be a scaredy cat, but that's a hard no for me!

I'm not afraid of heights. It's the downs that spook me.

See, I love roller coasters and carnival rides! Or at least I did. There's nothing like a good adrenaline rush. It would make me sad to go to a theme park and have to watch everyone else enjoying the rides that I can't fit on.
