im 5'6", 289, wear 3x men's shirt (but some 2xs fit.) and 50" pants. Am I going to be able to ride in the modified seats? (we already know I'm definitely NOT eligible for the regular seats)
I have a bit of a stomach, but it's mostly in the thighs, will this affect anything?It really depends on "where" your weight is. Midsection weight will make it hard because thats where the clamp comes down. If you can start a samll waling routine or even some light kettleball workouts.
. Yeah, my belly isn't huge so I can probably suck it in, I'm just worried about the rump and thighPlease try.
The taller heights spread out weight so it's really hard to compare. My husband is heavier but taller, wears a 3x and a bigger pant (he wears pants at his waist NOT lower like many men do though) and canNOT fit yet on FJ.
DH has a belly, thick back. And big thighs. If he had one fewer issue there he thinks it would be possible. But he's out from the back of the seat, then he's got his belly keeping the harness up, and he's got his legs also preventing it from working.
Please try. The test seats and even the real seats.
And this was after the modified seats were added? Yikes.Just be prepared that even if the test seats fit (go green) that the ride seats may not. We went with a group of friends with one big guy & tested the seats- he fit green and was told to ask for the outer seats. Went through the queue, was pulled aside and tested again. Again, was green and told he needed to ask for seats 1 or 4.
Got to the ride itself and he couldn't get seat 4 locked enough for the safety light, and the attendant just said he had to get out, no help or anything like the others had previously and like I've had seen before. I got off with him. The lead said they weren't sure what happened as it was supposed to go green if the test seats worked.
Yes, end of this January. During the Harry Potter Expo and all of our first trip to Universal. Green on both of the test seats then no go on the ride itself.And this was after the modified seats were added? Yikes.

It does vary so much person to person. We saw the opposite of pp.......folks didn't get a green light on the test seat but TM told them to try the real seat anyway and they did fit the modified seat.
Someone reported that same thing on here a while back.
Do you think that having bigger thighs would affect the "over the shoulder" restraints? I've seen pictures of people riding FJ with the modified seats and they don't have the lap bar on the top of their thighs.It does vary so much person to person.

Would you recommend basketball shorts or maybe jeans?It can. If the thighs stop the restraint from coming down far enough. We have heard of a few people that has happened to. Make sure that you wear clothing that will let your thighs fill the space and not be formed into a certain shape. Stretchy stuff is best.

would loose fitting sweatpants work?Not jeans. You want something stretchy.
