General Silver Dollar City Talk / Outlaw Run. . .
« on: March 16, 2013, 09:58:34 PM »
  Is NOT made for bigger people!  I wear a 20/22 in womens clothing.  Heres my problem.  The lap bar was secure.  I was able to ride Outlaw Run, but I did NOT feel safe!  I love roller coasters but it will be a very long time before I ride Outlaw Run again, and I am a true rollar coaster enthusiast.  .  I truly feel that there should have been some kind of shoulder restraint.  Had I had a shoulder restraint, it would have been fine.  The issue I have is that, as a bigger girl, when you use just a lap bar and you have the barrel rolls and corkscrews, your belly can actually shift over the lap bar and I, along with my best friend and roommate, felt like we were going to fall out and face our Maker that day.  I DO NOT recommend it for larger people.  My husband had the same problem.  We all range in size from 230-280 lbs.   
  I also didnt like the fact that you had to pay for lockers because there werent any cubby's.  Then, not only did you have to buy locker space, you had to use a dollar coin from an employee who stood near the entrance to Outlaw Run.  To me, that wasnt a very well thought out plan. 
  To summarize, yes Outlaw Run is an engineering masterpiece.  It's a thrill ride, and an adrenaline rush.  To me, however, it was only an adrenaline rush because I felt like my family was going to be picking out my casket later in the week.

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Powder Keg
« on: July 31, 2011, 12:38:24 AM »
Okay, now for a question about Powder Keg, basically the same one I had for Wildfire lol.  Do they have any bigger seats on that one?  Cause I swear, I see people bigger than I am who fit better on it than I do.  Maybe I'm just built funny?  lol

Thanks!  Its definately easier to eat unhealthy, and alot cheaper too.  I've lost almost 70 lbs and thats one reason why I am so nervous about Wildfire.  I've had to do the WOS(Walk of Shame) way too many times, and I absolutely LOVE roller coasters and I cant wait to get on it

thank you!  i dont really care about where I ride, I just want to ride it.  I've lost a ton of weight over the last year, and I used to love riding rollar coasters, so I cant WAIT to get on it.  Powder Keg is pretty cool, but I think Fire in the Hole will always be my favorite, just because of all the memories from my youth!

Thank you for the welcome!  On yahoo answers I was told that they didnt have seats for fat*sses, and to lose some weight, so, yeah, I dont think I will be posting anything there anymore!

Hi there,
  I was told that Wildfire had some seats for larger guests.  Anyone know if this is true, and if so, what rows?  Also, if it will help anyone, I am about a womans size 18-20, and can ride all the other rollar coasters except the kiddie one . Thanks!
