I am sorry that happend to you, I had the same experience at Kings Island a few years ago. I wanted to just disappear. I am glad that you dd manage to have a bit of fun while you were there. Hugs

I know how you feel. I tried to get on a roller coaster where your feet hang this summer and my belly was too big for the harness to come down and click into place. I had to sit while two ride attendants tried to push it down over me, when they couldn't get it to lock into place they offered me a special seat for larger riders. I was so embarassed. It totally ruined my day at the park and I was so scared to get on any other rides for fear that I couldn't fit. Luckily, that turned out to be the only ride I couldn't fit on, but I was uncomfortably squished on all the other rides. It was a bad experience, but I'm using it as more motivation to lose weight.My goal is to be able to comfortably fit into those rides next summer. Don't let it get you down too much, use it as motivation. Good luck!

I know just how embarrassing that can be from experience at another amusement park, but let me applaud you for even trying the rides at the Stratosphere!!! I wouldn't try them for fear that roller coaster would derail and fly off the tower!

honey, that's why to this day i don't get on rides at amusement parks or fairs. actually i haven't gotten on a ride since i was a teenager and even then i was hesitant because i was afraid of not being able to fit.

I'm sorry that happened to you. I too have been embarrassed over times I couldn't fit into something, ie, seat belts in cars & airplanes, had to buy 2 airplane seats to go to San Francisco, I have broken a chair in a public place, the list goes on. It's very embarrassing. I'm on the right track now so far as eating healthy and I'm losing weight, but I'll never forget those times. I wanted to just disappear. I just wanted you to know that I could relate. If you ever need to vent, I'm available for a message. Hugs!

I am so sorry that happened to you! I had the same exact thing happen when i went to disney land, it was humiliating. But at least the rest of your trip was good!!

I have been there. LAst summer we went to an amusement park. They had a tester seat at the beginning of the line. One of the attendants pulled me over to the side, I sat my ass in it, and it didnt fit. I was totally embarrassed. I was devistated. I didnt want to go on anything after that. The rest of the day went well, I just will never forget that, one in a long line of embarrassements.

Same thing happened to me a long time ago at the roller coaster and the hotel/casino at stateline, NV It didn't even occur to me that I wouldn't fit or I wouldn't have even tried. I was just with one friend and I made her swear that she would never tell anyone and I haven't been on a ride since. It was humiliating.

I hate walking up to sit in a plan next to someone as they look up at you with a look that says, OMG, dont tell me he is going to sit next to me. And I then have to squeeze in next to them. I have put on weight since last Christmas trip home so it will be worse this xmas,but fuck them I say, I'm going home!!!

Hi. I'm sorry about your experience. There's nothing worse than being singled out in public because you can't fit in a seat. I have a tremendous fear of dining in restaurants because there have been times when I can't fit comfortably in a booth because my belly gets in the way. I still cringe when I think about it. I had an anxiety attack once at a Lone Star Steak House because it was jammed with people and we got seated at a booth and I just barely squeezed in. I was SO uncomfortable and I asked if there was a table available instead. Of course there wasn't. We stayed there, in that uncomfortable booth, and I felt like I was a whale. My husband was trying to be encouraging or helpful (he totally wasn't) and I started to cry out of sheer anxiety and humiation. We were just about to leave when a waitress said that a table was just about to open up. We stayed because I didn't want to disappoint my husband, and we had dinner, but it was the worst dinner of my whole life. How could anything taste good when I felt so absolutely horrible. I tried to laugh it off later on at home, and vowed to always ask if there is a table available. If not, I just high tail it out of there! Nothing is worth going through that again, not until I lose more belly weight. My heart goes out to you and I hope what I've just shared with you and anyone else reading this can make you feel a little better somehow.

susanpark04, i can surely relate. when i walk into a resturant i ask specifically for a table because you never know the size of the booth's. every blue moon you'll catch a booth with a moving table so you can just adjust it yourself.

I had the same thing happen to me when we took our family vacation to six flags one year I couldn't fit into the ride and people where behind me so I was just going to get off and wait then my son god love him said in a loud voice thats ok mommy if your to fat to ride then I'll stay here with you I love you even if you are fat he was only 4 at the time and didn't understand how much it hurt to hear that but hey he loves hi mommy

I FEEL FOR YOU HUN. I HAD THAT HAPPEN TO ME AT SIX FLAGS. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE IS LAUGHING AT YOU BECAUSE YOU CAN'T FIT HUH? I HATE THAT! WE WILL CONCOUR THESE RIDES. JUST BECAUSE WE CAN!!! LOVE AND PEACE

I know How you feel! My six year old was so disapointed when I couldn't ride the rides with her at a local carnival! She was so upset we had to come home early!
