    I've lost 50lbs this year. The walk of shame solidified my resolve to do so. I've gone to USF/IOA like 8 times this year. Slowly adding new rides to my fun. Headed back to Seaworld as a size 14 hoping to ride Pipeline without doing a u-turn...

    The idea of having a theme park enthusiast that checks if a plus-size person can fit in a ride is just awesome. Great example of a hidden luxury we can benefit from with the internet.

    I love what you do, I am underweight and really short so I get to go on all the rides but to have to take the walk of shame for people you dont even know is very generous, also I love the vids keep doing what your doing

    Also worth noting Serengeti Flyers actually has a weight limit maximum of 300lbs. Of course they don't weigh you to verify but it is on the signage and worth noting for safety concerns!

    • @fattestedtravel

      Yes, thank you. I noticed it afterward.

    My family and I want to go here for spring break but i was hesitant to spend this amount of money here until i saw your video. This is incredibly helpful and courageous, not to mention comical as hell. I literally laughed out loud when you had to cut back in to the video to let us know a damn Uncrustable was $9! Lmao. I would love to be your friend. Your verbage has me laughing out loud. "These stairs are really steep." "As long as you can get up here you can ride." Amongst others... Thanks for what you do.

    My roommate and I went to this park a couple years ago and met up with a friend and his son. While I was able to fit on everything, my roommate couldn't. It wasn't even that he was too fat. He was too THICK in the shoulders and chest. He's just literally built big in the torso and the over the shoulder harness rides wouldn't close. I felt so bad for him, but he made the best of the day and just went and enjoyed the train and the animals and met back up with us later.

    Congratulations on your weight loss

    Ok I can see a better solution than putting both seats outside as it is an extra cost, all parks should offer a daily locker charge as an option over paying each time.
    My local park has boxes for every ride to set things, but I would say having the choice of pay per locker or for say 40 bucks you get a full day pass for a daily ticket. And make it something season pass holders just get as their perks.
    Win win if you ask me because either way park makes money and guests get options.

    I went to bushgardens about a few months ago October 2023 and I was around 270lbs and I could clearly see I was struggling to fit in some rides. I was able to go on everything but not with ease. I went again around 2 weeks ago at that point around 278lbs (I had been up to 288lbs but started my weight loss journey) and I only went on iron gwazi which was still a decent struggle. I’m now down to 268lbs and counting! Gonna prepare to go again very soon around August when I’m hopefully down to around 220-240lbs

    I can't make it past 2:44. 😢 I know the struggle of smiling and trying to be happy for everyone else while you get left behind because you don't fit on the roller coaster. I know the walk of shame.. hearing you say it didn't pass the test then seeing your smile broke my heart. I felt your pain. I'm sitting here crying, wanting to give you a hug. I'm so sorry that you couldn't ride it. I hope in time they either add on plus size friendly cars, which THEY COULD DO or if you, yourself want to lose weight, that you can ride it some day for your own health and happiness ❤ I want to see the rest of the video but I'm so sorry since you couldn't ride it. I'm cheering you on 🎉! Keep being an awesome UA-camr 🎉❤

    those iron gwazi seats are menacing 🤣 i have very long legs and so those little shin holders never lay flat on my shins so i have to have my feet on their toes when i ride it lol! fun ride but the seats are not made for long legs or large thighs, which i also have 🤣

    Tigeris has extenders, just ask the ride ops and you'll probably be able to ride it.

    As a European I found the most annoying thing about Busch Gardens was the number of obese people trying to get on rides and causing ridiculous long queues and stupidly long dispatch times. Try a seat before you join the queue and if your too big, sorry your too big. That's it, don't waste everyone's time trying to get on the ride.

    • @mostlymowiewowie2544
      @mostlymowiewowie2544 6 місяців тому

      Suppose I should add to this this video is helpful as it will help some people know before they join a queue

    • @TerminalOingoBoingo
      @TerminalOingoBoingo 3 місяці тому +1

      There are rides where test seats can be less forgiving than the actual ride seats w/assistance from ops.

    • @teresahay1180
      @teresahay1180 3 місяці тому +6

      You're in the wrong comment section. Everyone here has real anxiety competing with real desire to experience the fun others don't have to second guess. Sitting in the test seat out front super sucks. Also, there aren't always even test seats.

      A lot of Americans are plus size, what if they want to go with friends or take their family, it would be nice to know ahead of time what rides they can do. It takes time to loose weight and it’s harder for some people than others.

    • @fattestedtravel
      @fattestedtravel  6 місяців тому +12

      Because often expectation is what ruins people getting out and trying something. If they have an idea of what to ride or what they can’t ride, they don’t have to worry about being embarrassed and can enjoy their trip.

      This is an unnecessary comment. OBVIOUSLY these videos aren't made for you. So why the hell did you even watch it?
