Who Designed The Rides At Six Flags



Recommended Posts

So, we went to Six Flags today. What I want to know is what model did they use to design the seating on some of the rides? I mean, really, on an airline seat I fit ok and just barely need an extender, but I was almost twelve inches shy of clicking the seat belt on El Torro. Rolling Thunder is over 30 years old, so I can excuse that, sort of. The rest of the coasters I didn't even bother.

I know I am big, but I have no problems in Disney or Sea World. It just seems that Six Flags is way out of proportion.

Oh, and to the guy who made the lap bar go down the extra two clicks on the Dark Knight- thanks ever so much. My right kidney always wanted to get up close and personal with my left one, not to mention my liver and spleen.

This was the worst fat person day I ever had in my life, and I will probably have physical bruises to go along with the emotional ones.

I have been reading along on this site for a few days... afraid to post i guess.. .UNTIL i saw your post about the rides. That is on my bucketlist also.. i want so much to be able to fit into the rides again. I still have nightmares about the last time i tried to squeez into the batman ride and had to get off of it while everyone watched.. it was horrid!

I've still managed to ride on MOST rides, but I there are a few at Islands of Adventure @ Universal Studios in Orlando that I couldn't even come close to fitting in. It's so frustrating! I love coasters.

I've noticed that those are the two smallest rides there.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
