Universal Studios, TTC, and Plus Size?

Question

Hello! My hubby and I are considering a trip to Universal Studios in March (primarily for Harry Potter World!) And have never been so we are looking for some insight. I'm not sure if I'll be able to ride the rides because 1) I hope to be newly pregnant by then (I have two ovulation dates between then and now) and 2) I'm plus sized.
I am about 295 and 5'2" so I'm skeptical about being able to ride. I'm wondering if anyone with a similar body type can share their experience?
I'm also wondering if there's enough to do at both parks over 4 days if we don't go on rides or if we will feel like we missed out on the experience/wasted our money going without getting on the roller coasters.
Thanks in advance!!

Answer

You would be able to ride. I weigh over 300 and I get on fine. I’m only 5’3

Answer

I worked for Universal for 5 years and was always around upper 200-350 (guessing as I did weigh myself) and there are many ride seats located in the front of each attraction for you to try, last I knew the big coasters had 2 “larger” seats on each train you just have to ask, blutos has seatbelt extenders you can use. I know it may be embarrassing to ask, but you get better prepared when you do. The greeter our front can give you info and the loafers are great if you ask them. Keep in mind loaders are literally trying to load everyone on as fast as the can so they may hold you back a dispatch or 2 to get you on the right car. Some rides seating isn’t a big deal, like Spider-Man at IOA. Have fun!

Answer

We just went in Sept ‘18 (it is my favorite place in the world, you’re gonna love it!) and I was 285ish at 5’5 and had no problems with any of the rides.
