0 Tom Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Chest Restrictions are 51/2 inches so you should be fine! Always try test seats though, available at the entrances to Saw - The Ride, Samurai, Vortex, Colossus, Nemesis Inferno, and Stealth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Fred Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 In training the staff are taught to never push down on the bars, as in some cases they can hurt you, but only if pushed very very hard.Ohhh is this why they just do stupid tap of seatbelt which doesn't reassure anyone in the slightest that their harness has been checked? :rolleyes:Highly unlikely to hurt someone, never had complaints or even mention of discomfort at the other parks.

0 Smiffy Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Indeed in staff training it says to make the guest pull down their restraint as they will know what is comfortable however this is not always possible to get the restraints secure. In my experience I have never had a guest that has declined an offer for me to try and push down the bars further as most will obviously wish to go on the ride and will appreciate the efforts of the ride team to accommodate them. So long as I double check that the guest is comfortable I have no issues in aiding them. That being said the official restriction for most rides are 51 inches but rides like stealth and saw can accommodate guests in excess of 51 inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 booboo Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I was fine on all of them with plenty of room, me just being a worrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mr.man Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Vortex is quite bad as the bars fly down pretty fast and hurt me every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ellie Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Whenever I'm strapped into Saw: the Ride, on leaving the station I'm quite comfy but when I return, I've usually been crushed to within an inch of my life.

0 Tom Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 The whole ride it's like a challenge, I push up on my bar so I can still have children... Metaphorically.I never win the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 cal102 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 hi I'm worried that I wont fit on some of the bigger rides as I have a 51" chest and I would be disappointed if I got there and I couldnt fit on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
