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...
Congrats! So many good rides that aren't very accommodating of various body types, unfortunately. I rode Iron Gwazi after losing some weight, and it's now my favorite coaster! Did the walk of shame from the Serengeti Flyer though. I fit this time, but I was too scared to ride it after approaching the seat and looking at the height of the ride up close.
I appreciate you doing these videos cause i am large myself. I appreciate you putting yourself out there cause your videos gives me an idea of what I can do. Keep up the good work.
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.
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!
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 🎉❤
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.
This is the first video I've watched of yours. Thank you so much for doing this! Great details! This is going to help in our decision of my family going to Busch Gardens Tampa! Congratulations on your weight loss
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
Hope you take your locker receipt to customer service and get money back! I’m wondering if you sat up straighter and put bum more in ride you could have fit the drop ride.
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 🤣
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.
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.
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.
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.

Still a fatty 😂

I genuinely enjoy seeing you ride rides that you fit on
Thank you! And I appreciate you watching!
I commend what you do. You're bravery is helping a lot of people, and I'm not overweight at all, but I respect what you do.

Oh! And I meant to mention how happy I am to know I will be able to ride some good ol' bumper cars again!!!😮

Yes, thank you. I noticed it afterward.
I wonder why there is a weight limit
Do they have that info on the website anywhere?

Do you have huge things?
what a great idea, good job.
Thank you so much
Tigeris has extenders, just ask the ride ops and you'll probably be able to ride it.
You forgot Christmas on Ice.
Tried to show what I could but got caught up in copyrighted music after I posted so it trimmed it out
I love your video's please keep going. As a fat person myself you give me confident for going to an amusement park and not worry too much
Hope you take your locker receipt to customer service and get money back! I’m wondering if you sat up straighter and put bum more in ride you could have fit the drop ride.
So sad you didn't get to go on Cheetah Hunt. Super underrated- but I'm a sucker for a good heartline roll.
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 🤣
Where u there today because I was there I wanted to see ya I’m a huge fan
Thank you so much unfortunately no I was not there today. This was actually filmed a little while back.
Any thoughts about the theme park *Busch Gardens Tampa Bay* in FL? 🦁✨️♥️💯
my friend isn’t even that big and he barely fit on iron gwazi. i think it’s too restrictive
Agreed. It's my favorite coaster, tied with Velocicoaster, but it's so tight of a squeeze that the ride is almost painful.
I love your content! We LOVE our big fig! Do you have your measurements in this video for comparison?
I have gone on shekra in Florida and im only 12
No you are not fat you are perfect who you are ❤
Lmao 🤣
You can be fat and perfect! Fat is just a descriptive word, like thin. It only has the negative power we give it!❤
Did u go in 2024 or 2023? U posted 2nd Jan. Curious because it doesnt seem to crowded and I am curious what time this was.
I hate when people sit in test seats cause their tired! Also did you get a refund for that locker rental?
I take my bag on rides, I’m not paying for lockers..

Post your height and weight so we know relatively what is possible
He says he's 365 and 5'8
He literally says it throughout his videos 🙄
you can fit on all the adult coasters if you exercised and ate healthy :)
Don't make yourself think you are fat. Everyone should be thought of and treated the same way. Don't listen to those haters.
pin pls?
Have you thought about wearing a girdle or shapewear. It would help cut a few inches 😊
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.
Suppose I should add to this this video is helpful as it will help some people know before they join a queue
Can't decide if your comment is super unnecessary or if you were trying to be informative... 🤔
There are rides where test seats can be less forgiving than the actual ride seats w/assistance from ops.
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.
I'm sorry but how do you review rides you can't get on I'm not trying to be mean.
what the point?
all good ride you don't fit, just lose some wieght
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.
he making a helpful video and you are being a little rude
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.
these comments show up on every single video, bet you thought you did something here
This is an unnecessary comment. OBVIOUSLY these videos aren't made for you. So why the hell did you even watch it?
