Being fat at a theme park

Slayright:
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.

BigBallBellyGirl:
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.

Munchies:
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.

Being fat at a theme park

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.
