    PLEASE NOTE: My calves are about 17.5 inches (45cm) around. And for me it was a tight fit but I made it. ALSO! I fit in the test seat but CHOSE to ride in the bucket seat because we were only allowed one ride. I wanted to show you all how the bucket seat worked.

    I watched both Tim Tracker and Paging Mr. Morrow's videos for Tron. Tim Tracker is 6'2" and 220lbs. He said it was tight for his legs because of the angle and was concerned for anyone taller than him because it would be hard to get their legs in the ride. Paging Mr. Morrow was not able to ride the first time, but went back to the test seat and found a hack. If he pushed his legs all the way against the back of the leg area he was able to get the leg bar to lock. Thanks for posting. I know everyone is very happy that Tron is going to open, but like Flights of Passage it is all going to come down to calf and leg size.

    When I used the test seat at D23, I definitely didn’t fit when I had shorts on since the bar got stuck on my calves. But when I came back later in pants, the fabric let the bar slip right into place with a tiny bit of force. So that may be the answer for a lot of y’all

    This content is so important and so appreciated! This is the reason I started following you! I love all your Disney content but these ride seat reviews help me (as a plus size person) so so much when im preparing for a trip. For reference could you measure your calf width at the widest part and share so I can compare? If you’re comfortable of course. Thank you so so much for this in-depth review! When you were doing the test seat you thought you might be able to ride the cycle, did you try when you got up there or did you just decide to the the bucket one? Thanks again!!

      We only got one chance to ride that night so I decided to ride in the bucket seat to show off how it looks and the restraints rather than ignoring it like everyone else has.

    Wow. I'm so happy someone made a video like this. I saw Tim's video yesterday and didn't even realize they had a bucket seat. As a large dude, I dread theme parks for this very reason. There's almost nothing I can ride at King's Island. When I was at Disney in 2017, I only had one issue with the Avatar ride and the cast member was so sweet about it and gave us extra fast passes. It really feels like Disney tries to be as inclusive as possible. Thank you for sharing this information!

    The ADA seat looks great for another group of people. My mum had both her knees replaced and now can't kneel or bend her knees at a right angle or tighter, so she would never get on the bike seat, regardless of size, but the leg room in those bucket seats means this might be a rollercoaster she can actually get on and enjoy!

    Thank you for showing this! It's extremely helpful! I'm not concerned about fitting......it's the overall position that is a problem for me. I have a chronic illness and have had 14 abdominal surgeries straight down my front. There is no way I could lean up against the bike, putting weight on my abdominal muscles. I'd end up back in the hospital. So, the accessible seating would be my choice.

    Great work Adrian! A tip I have (based on my experiences in Shanghai), is to wear pants or have some sort of fabric. It helps to be able to slide your leg slightly if it doesn't fit immediately (less of friction between bar-fabric vs bar-sweaty leg! During day at Shanghai I was in shorts and my legs were so tight in there, I was losing circulation in my feet. But later that day I had to switch into jeans (chilly night) and it was so much more comfortable!

His video suggested pushing your feet flat against the rear wheel. Which seems to be a good idea. You both are under 6 ft. I’m 6’1” with big belly, thighs, and calves and sitting at 320 lbs. I don’t know if the leg suggestion will work with my legs probably being longer. Hope to try soon at passholder previews.

    Can confirm adjusting your leg position and wearing trousers helps make it work (thanks guys!)
    Surprisingly, I found this one more comfortable on my knees than some ’normal’ rollercoasters, so it’s worth trying the test seats for that too.
    And for the fellow ladies out there: best wear a high-necked top for this one 😅

    as I see and have noticed that placing your foot is the most important thing. if you put your foot down properly, your calf will fall into the clamp more easily. So basically put your foot against the rear wheel ln (90 degrees).
    As a result, your entire lower leg falls down better and you can get in better.

    My older brother is massively large 🦣 over 400lbs and above 6ft tall but he is very motivated of your videos and on a weight loss journey and inspired from watching videos of yours, he just became an annual Disney pass holder
    We are both going to Typhoon Lagoon this weekend hopefully he is eligible for going on any slide at the park
    He recently lost about 35lbs in 2 months but he is still moving forward to losing that weight of his life!
    Thank you for being an Awesomest inspiration for plus size fans!

    I have seen so many, but so many vids right now about this right, and while many of them complain about the position and uncomfroblenss of the vehicle, no one as explain it like this! specially about the metal bar in the leg! I hope disney have noted this on there preperation videos!

    Nate at Paging Mr Morrow (PMM) had to place his feet vertical/bottom against the back to position the back of the leg to receive the bar.

    If you move your foot back further towards the back wheel you might have a more comfy fit as the upper part of your calve will be less bulky
