I do not mean to offend you by no means so please do not take it that way...Six flags provide the safest seating and are made that way they are for just that reason. I do think however that if you contacted a lawyer you could possible have a suit...They accompany handicapped.. what is the difference...after all just cause you are big does not mean you should not be able to ride as well as others do. With all respect to you... it is not a good thing to be too over weight. Drink lots of water and walk a lot you will lose it. I learned that in power walking at college. Just make sure you eat a regular meal, do not over stuff yourself. Good luck to you.

I don't think it was the Six Flags Franchises fault. It was the people who was visiting Six Flags. I don't know if there is anything you could do about those people.You could write Six Flags and tell them what happened and ask them if they could make seats big enough for those who are a bit bigger. I know you aren't the only one that has had that problem b/s my boyfriend is a bigger guy and has to do the " walk of shame". I know how you are feeling b/c it hurt his feelings as well.

There is no side but the safe side and i believe that is what they had in mind. They were watching out for your and everyone else safety by having the rules they have. So best to get in shape so you can enjoy the rides or if it's impossible, just admit it and be happy. It's just a lesson learned. You probably won't be the last. It may be a lesson for you to teach other people to slim down and enjoy everything. Think it over.

I have never been to Six Flags because I knew all along they were going to do something like this to you.Of course,I'll never go there in the future,because you are going to get back at them so well that their days are numbered.Don't listen to all those others saying you need to lose weight.You don't have to if you don't want to.I think the best way for you to get back at them would be to never go there again.They WANT you to come back.If you lost weight and went back,it would look like you just had to ride their stupid rides.And it would be your money spent on them.Heck with them.Drink some gin and spin around the room really fast.You'll get the same effect.

Im sorry you had to deal with that. I am also a big person and hate going to amusement parks for that exact reason. I dont fit on the rides and they dont seem to care to make their rides more adaptable to bigger people. I havent been to an amusement park in over 10 yrs. I dont think theres really anything you can do to get back at them. Maybe you can start some sort of petition to get amusement parks to make rides adaptable to larger people. My sister works in an amusement park, most have sample seats in the back u can try out before u waste time in line only to find out u might not fit in the seat. Good luck!

You need to sue the corporation for discriminating against big-boned folks such as yourself. They need to make the machines a little bigger (ok, a LOT bigger), or have a separate amusement park with fat rides. With the money that you win, you can buy lots of food and increase the size of your waistline...c'mon, you can do better than 58 inches!

Well, I think they did this for your safety, but they should have cameras so that they could have pulled you to the side about three hours prior.. and spoke with you away from others. I wonder what the weight limit is on that ride? and why they did not have it posted?

You should of sat in the test seat at the front of the ride (before you enter the lines) so you didnt' have to make a fool of yourself trying to get into a seat.

It is no different from someone who weighs under 30 pounds or someone who is 300 pounds. The ride cannot safely handle your weight.
Take charge of yourself... it is not healthy, you are more prone to diabetes, coronary artery disease, (the list goes on).
If you want to live, see your doctor and obtain the right weight for your size... no one wants anyone to die because of being overweight... it's a foolish way to live.
