Am i too fat for rides?

[leftforlotty]

Hi there, im not sure whether im in the right forum but i need help.

Ok im going Alton Towers next week and im worried i wont fit on. im currently 15 stone 3. Size 16-18. Sometimes a 14. (18 in jeans cause i like them loose) Though i have a really large chest. (Size 40-44E?) i have lost about 3/4 stone since 2011 but my boobs havent gotten smaller :/ and so im worried i wont fit on. i also have quite wide thighs? I have been about 2 years ago but i cant remember if i was larger or not? Though i.went on everything then including ripsaw (my fave ride!)

I really dont want to embarrass myself infront of my friends and boyfriend :'(.

I too have this worry as some of my friends are planning a trip to Alton Towers in the summer. I read on their website that if your girth is more than 52/54 inches, that you won't be able to go on some rides. Your girth is the circumference of the biggest part of your body, so I would be assuming that would be your bust. Get a tape measure and measure it around the biggest part(s) of your body.

The below is from the FAQ on their website:

Are there any restrictions on the attractions?

Yes, height restrictions apply and there is a list of other restrictions (dependent on the ride) and general information at the entry point to each attraction.Our average girth restriction is 52 inches. However, as a result of customer feedback, we have introduced seats on our Nemesis and Oblivion rides accommodating a girth size of 54 inches. For more detailed height, girth and general restrictions, please see signage at the ride entrance.

size 18 isnt too big, I was still getting in rides at a size 22. I'm 5'7 and I weighed 17 stone when I was a size 18. Just to give you a comparison. 52-54 inches is a size 26 which sounds about right cos I stopped going on rides when I hit a size 24 as I didnt feel secure in the restraints.

Have a fantastic time x

I went to Alton Towers when I was 14.5 stone and got on all the rides ok. I was about size 18 back then and I easily got on the rides. You will be fine. My mum used to go too when she was about size 20 so you will have no problems.

Have fun

some of the over head restraints may be a struggle, but they do have a bigger one on each ride

You'll fit in everything no problem. I worked the theme parks as a teen. Met my husband working in one actually!! He still works there. 16/18 is fine. If you have massive boobs it's a bit uncomfortable but you won't need cutting out of anything I promise!!!
