Thanks so much for this video, it definitely put my mind at ease when I went today! For anyone else that’s feeling anxious about it,honestly don’t! I’m a size 22 and went on The Big One, Icon, Grand National, Nickelodeon Streak, Infusion, Red Arrows Skyforce, Alice in Wonderland, Wallace and Gromit, The River Caves, Avalanche, Steeplechase and Valhalla! All with no issues! The staff were great 😊
Hi Everyone, I thought I would expand upon this great video! I am a 5ft 11". Man at 320 pounds (145kg). (chunky boy 😜) my weight is mainly on my thighs. So here is my list of rides I got on & experiences... • Avalanche... Easy no problems at all. • Infusion... I got on but it was incredibly tight on my shoulders but overall fun ride. •Avatar Airbender... Easy, best, comfortable, fun! •Nickelodeon Streak, Grand National, & Big Dipper... Managed to squeeze in all of them, they all share the same cart sizes. Grand national was very painful on my legs but anyone with smaller legs would be okay, also please get the belt ready in your hands before sitting on Grand National as there is a block on the seat which will separate you from the other rider. •Ghost Train... Easy ride. •Alice in Wonderland... Was great only problem for me, I was too tall for the cart, had to put my leg on Mad hatter in the cart 🤣. •Wallace and Gromit is easy ride too. • The Big One & Ice Blast was closed. (All-day) • Derby Racer was really easy to ride... Please wear something that isn't tight on your legs... Otherwise you'll rip your trousers! 😂 • Icon... Okay, you will need to sit at the back it is the biggest seat. I manage to get on the ride in the morning, but it was tight on my thighs, nothing else... It was amazing ride but a little uncomfortable on my legs. Now later in the afternoon (about 5 hours later) the backseat would close for me, but... It was extremely painful, painful for me to say "I'm sorry, I can't ride, it's too painful" they operators were amazing and said don't worry... Someone (a woman) in the queue did make a "you need to go on a diet" comment... But already somewhat embarrassed I replied " yeah haha😅😅" and walked out the exit quickly to wait for my family. But the operators fully understand this can happen and they were amazing! If I have missed any let me know... And I'll see if I can help you!!!
i’m 5’11 and 95kg and i’m still terrified of being to big to ride especially when i’m with friends - can’t believe that happened with the woman on icon people really need to keep their mouths shut
Glad they could accommodate you and you rate them well… Pleasure beach is my favourite place to be… I’m vision impaired and use a cane, the team are so friendly and helpful towards me. So I’m glad others get a positive experience too
Pleasure beach is one of my favourite and is very tall and fat people friendly Most Restrictive rides are Icon and Ice Blast Icon - Lap bars are extremely tight mainly on your thighs the belly normally hasent got an issue it’s having thick thighs that stops it coming down the lap bar has to go down an inch or so from the seatbelt going in they will switch you to the back if your struggling as that is a little more forgiving I am only able to ride icon at the back with the modified seating The Big one - as described in your video the limit is the seatbelt trying the seat next to you might make the difference the lap bar is not sensitive and should be comfortable at your liking as long have it has one or two clicks the issue I have being tall is the legroom the middle and back of each car can be quite cramped for me so I try to get the front part of each car of the train as that has a little extra legroom and the lap bar normal gets and extra click Grand National - very long and forgiving seatbelt and lap bar has no sensors can be at your liking providing it has had at least one click the seat divider it’s a squeeze and can feel cramped and the lap bar does squeeze your legs together and dig in a bit so it might hurt a bit especially as the rough nature of the ride Big dipper/ Nick streak tight seat divider like Grand National and simple lap bar as long as it comes down a little bit it’s fine it has no sensors Skyforce - normally quite forgiving it does not have to be as tight as The Smiler if you can ride The Smiler you will get to ride the seat belt has loads of slack it can depended on certain seats having funny sensors Ice Blast - seat belt at least has to clip in some seats that are over sensitive May need an additional clip to put some slack in the seat belt staff might do switcheroos normally to seat 1 as that one is normally only down to the seatbelt Infusion - as long as the seat belt clips in should be ok Revolution - very forgiving just seatbelt has to go in Avalanche - very forgiving as restraint is designed for two people Air Bender - bar has to press tightly against your back, not tested a limit for it Kristy Karbala drop tower - very restrictive due to it being designed for children staff normally try to place adults on the end seats Steeplechase - very long and forgiving seatbelt Everything else has either a very unrestricted bar or seat belt or has no retrains Wallace and Gromit, Ghost Train, Alice Ride, Valhalla, Flying Machines, Blue Flyer, Derby Racer and Grand Prix can be tight in legroom for tall people over 6ft I may suggest that it may be more comfortable to cross your legs
Hi, the seat belts are quite long, but if you are worried about space then we would suggest sitting in the back seat, because it can be a bit restrictive in the front.
This video was helpful for me visiting at the weekend! Only ride I couldn’t get on was infusion I’m 6’6 and was just under the maximum height but struggled as I have big shoulders.
Thanks so much for this you are so so brave to share this and it will help so many people! I’m wondering if you know your measurements at all? With you saying you can now fit on ice blast!! Well done 🌟
I’m fifteen stone of muscle it’s a killer for me too on rides. Infusion is the worst. The restraint is too thick and I don’t know what to do with my hands!
We haven’t been for years and we’ve looked at various UA-cam videos.I find that at 5ft 9 and 16-17st,the seats on wooden roller coasters are a little tight. Your video will give confidence to bigger people who might be afraid to go in case they don’t fit in the seats. Theme parks should give you free entry as it’s good advertising.
Nixe video im new to the channek on infusion the over shoulder things are unconfirtoble where on icon your top half is uncoved when it goes upsidedown yiou feel like you are falling out of seat which is desoeated and the speed of icon u feel like u are feeling like you are zero g dont u
Thank you so much for this! Im going to pleasure beach in a couple of weeks with hubby and some friends, and i have been so worried that I wouldnt fit into a seat (size18/20) but youve put my mind fully at ease so im looking forward to my day out now! ❤❤❤
Hi, its not really a case of specific seats that have longer/comfier seat belts, but this season they seem to all be roughly the same length, which is better. We hope you have a great day.
No thats fine she is between a 20/24. You should be fine when you go, Steph fits on all the rides, sometimes she needs a bit of help from either myself or the ride staff. Hope you have a brilliant day Thursday. X
I go in 4 days and I'm a size 18. 5ft4in and about 90kg. I've been terrified of not be able to go on any rides with my daughter. Do you think I'l be okay?
Hi, i would say that you should be fine with most of the rides. If you are still a but nervous when you get there try one of the test seats and if you fit then you should be good for most of them. Hope this helps and hope you have a great day. 😊
Hi 👋 new subscriber. Thank you so much for this. I’m visiting next month with my little girl, I’m size 28 and was really worried about not being able to fit on anything. This was so helpful thank you xx
@@amydobson88 i actually chickened out of a lot of them I’m afraid 😩. The rides I did go on I fitted no problem, they seem very plus size friendly. I think at a size 24 you will be fine xx
@@claireybobs2362 I'm 5"10 have long legs, big hips/bum and a big bust, and am approx a size 26 and fit on everything when I went back in April! Grand National and Big Dipper were a tight squeeze but I got there. The only ride I had any real problem with was Icon, my partner and I queued for the front row but the lap bar wasn't clicking enough, so the operator asked me if I wanted to move to the back seats which are slightly bigger. I think it would have been okay if I could have lifted my tummy up/breathed in, but I decided to go to the back row cause the operator said I'd be much more comfortable. Was a bit sad after queueing for the front and felt guilty to my partner, but still happy I got to ride it, it's a great coaster! Before we went I was frantically searching videos, comments, forums etc trying to figure out if I'd fit on things and in the end I didn't even need to stress (aaand did the exact same thing before going to Alton Towers two weeks ago - again, fit on everything). Hope this helps and hope you have a great time when you go 🥰
Hi I’m going to Blackpool pleasure beach on Monday, I’m so sorry to ask and sorry if it seems rude I truly don’t intend it but I’m uk 20 on the top and 22 on the bottom and worries about fitting on rides.
@@StephandPhoebeMost of these ‘keyboard warriors’ that blast out so much hate are so unhappy with their own lives they use UA-cam comment sections to make themselves feel better and try to bring others down. I’d feel sorry for them if they weren’t such *d!ckheads* Some are just so jealous when they see others having fun having an actual life. Behind every troll is a sad, unloved and probably depressed nobody.
Not trying to be mean..i was overweight once and at some point my brain told me to stop eating so much,as i couldent wipe my own butt and couldn't tie my own laces...and being overweight and being obese is a real health concern....that is where you need to be focused on...NOT if you can fit in a seat...if you cant...then thats on you ....NOT the park to rectify...loose weight
Thank you so much for this video as a larger chap I've been worried about going after Drayton Manor turned me away infont if everyone else on the ride and it shot my confidence you are both Angels! Thank you
Iv gone to Blackpool for years tho I haven’t been in 4 years because of covid then I lost my mum going back in a few weeks with my son I’m 5ft size 18-20 because of medication I’m actually so anxious about fitting on the rides cause iv got big boobs aswell do u think I’ll fit ok? & thank u so much for this video ur a much braver person than I am hun ur a beautiful person thank u ❤
Hi, you should be ok for most of the rides, its hard to say for certain but Pleasure Beach is good for plus size people we would say. Hope you have a great time. ❤️

@@StephandPhoebe I did... It was too hot though 🤣 can't complain about that though (26°C!)
Oooo lovely, at least you was at a theme park with a few water rides to cool down.
i’m 5’11 and 95kg and i’m still terrified of being to big to ride especially when i’m with friends - can’t believe that happened with the woman on icon people really need to keep their mouths shut
Glad they could accommodate you and you rate them well… Pleasure beach is my favourite place to be… I’m vision impaired and use a cane, the team are so friendly and helpful towards me. So I’m glad others get a positive experience too
Thats good to hear that they help everyone no matter what the circumstance to make sure people have a great day. 😀
Pleasure beach is one of my favourite and is very tall and fat people friendly
Most Restrictive rides are Icon and Ice Blast
Icon - Lap bars are extremely tight mainly on your thighs the belly normally hasent got an issue it’s having thick thighs that stops it coming down the lap bar has to go down an inch or so from the seatbelt going in they will switch you to the back if your struggling as that is a little more forgiving I am only able to ride icon at the back with the modified seating
The Big one - as described in your video the limit is the seatbelt trying the seat next to you might make the difference the lap bar is not sensitive and should be comfortable at your liking as long have it has one or two clicks the issue I have being tall is the legroom the middle and back of each car can be quite cramped for me so I try to get the front part of each car of the train as that has a little extra legroom and the lap bar normal gets and extra click
Grand National - very long and forgiving seatbelt and lap bar has no sensors can be at your liking providing it has had at least one click the seat divider it’s a squeeze and can feel cramped and the lap bar does squeeze your legs together and dig in a bit so it might hurt a bit especially as the rough nature of the ride
Big dipper/ Nick streak tight seat divider like Grand National and simple lap bar as long as it comes down a little bit it’s fine it has no sensors
Skyforce - normally quite forgiving it does not have to be as tight as The Smiler if you can ride The Smiler you will get to ride the seat belt has loads of slack it can depended on certain seats having funny sensors
Ice Blast - seat belt at least has to clip in some seats that are over sensitive May need an additional clip to put some slack in the seat belt staff might do switcheroos normally to seat 1 as that one is normally only down to the seatbelt
Infusion - as long as the seat belt clips in should be ok
Revolution - very forgiving just seatbelt has to go in
Avalanche - very forgiving as restraint is designed for two people
Air Bender - bar has to press tightly against your back, not tested a limit for it
Kristy Karbala drop tower - very restrictive due to it being designed for children staff normally try to place adults on the end seats
Steeplechase - very long and forgiving seatbelt
Everything else has either a very unrestricted bar or seat belt or has no retrains
Wallace and Gromit, Ghost Train, Alice Ride, Valhalla, Flying Machines, Blue Flyer, Derby Racer and Grand Prix can be tight in legroom for tall people over 6ft I may suggest that it may be more comfortable to cross your legs
What the seat belts like on the Alice in wonderland ride? Is it a big seat belt for the 2 seats? Worried I'm going to get it done up. Thanks
Hi, the seat belts are quite long, but if you are worried about space then we would suggest sitting in the back seat, because it can be a bit restrictive in the front.
@thellamaking7248 This is great information, thanks for sharing.
@StephandPhoebe thank you! I'm a size 30 and not sure what else I might fit on, especially in Nickelodeon land with my children, any advice please?
It is hard to say but most of the kids rides such as Alice, Wallace and Gromit and River caves should be fine.
Just for more reassurance, I went here when i was almost 15 stone at around 5 foot 4, had no difficulties whatsoever on anything! 😊
This video was helpful for me visiting at the weekend! Only ride I couldn’t get on was infusion I’m 6’6 and was just under the maximum height but struggled as I have big shoulders.
Great to hear, glad you had an amazing time. You aren't missing out on much with Infusion anyway. 😊
Thanks so much for this you are so so brave to share this and it will help so many people! I’m wondering if you know your measurements at all? With you saying you can now fit on ice blast!! Well done 🌟
No problem, we are so glad these videos are helping people, Yes Stephs chest is 53", thanks.
@@StephandPhoebe ah Thankyou so much!!! Did Steph go on the back row on icon or was she fine on the other rows??
Mostly she uses the back row just for that extra space and comfort but sometimes she can fit on the other rows.
I’m fifteen stone of muscle it’s a killer for me too on rides. Infusion is the worst. The restraint is too thick and I don’t know what to do with my hands!
I know the bulky restraints are awful to try and get comfy.
We haven’t been for years and we’ve looked at various UA-cam videos.I find that at 5ft 9 and 16-17st,the seats on wooden roller coasters are a little tight.
Your video will give confidence to bigger people who might be afraid to go in case they don’t fit in the seats.

Hi, thanks thats is all we hoped for by making these videos. 😊
going blackpool tomorrow! this is super super helpful as a plus size person myself
No problem, hope you have a great day.
Thank you so so much I'm going to Blackpool next week and I'm terrified of not fitting
No problem, dont worry about it, hope you have a great day. 👍
This is great news. My partner thought she might have a chance to back out of the big one after the bet we made. Love it. Thankyou. Ha ha haaaa
Haha, hope you have a brilliant day. 🎢
5:51 Do you know if there is a sensor on Infusion, or is it just as long as the seatbelt is on its fine?
Hi, as long as they can get the seatbelt clipped in then you will be fine.
Thanks so much. I'm going to give it a go! 🎢🫣

How is iceblast so restrictive?
Hi, its not necessarily restrictive, its just how far down the restraint needs to go to lock in place.
So if u’re quite big is there a high risk of the restraint coming undone?
Great video
