A stairs warning is great for people who have physical disabilities who don’t know the ride.
Agreed! There are all kinds of people who would benefit from a stairs warning. It’s such a weird thing to shame.
Agreed. I hate stairs
I'm TERRIFIED of heights so I appreciate that too. 😄
Yes exactly!! That’s super helpful for someone like me.
Came here to say the same thing. An idea of how many steps, and whether up or down, and the ease of entering the ride would help with making decisions based on mobility issues.
I don't know why anyone would be upset at this, this seems entirely reasonable and helpful.
I know right, I bet it really helps to reduce people's anxiety. Preparation and knowing as much as possible before you go is so important for enjoying something when you're anxious. Knowledge is power!
Literally they're not complaining or being demanding, just letting fat people know if they wanna go on rides
She so sweet. Just giving people a heads up.
The heads up for gluten-free folks is a nice bonus too.
For sure! This is a type of online creator I can get behind,informational,somewhat niche,but super helpful
They approach this appropriately. They inform viewers of their experiences as plus-size people on the rides, comprehensive reviews, but do NOT shame the parks. They do NOT demand accommodations. I love these girls even though I’m absolutely not a theme park goer. Their attitude is great
Yep, this is how it’s done. Not rage baiting, looking like they are trying to make inappropriate content for the feeders.
what is wrong with accommodations?
@@free2bkittenforever I should have clarified. Demanding *unreasonable* accommodations, a la jaebae asking hotels to make wider hallways
It’s crazy that people expect people who are overweight to put their lives completely on hold, not go out, not do anything fun until they loose weight.
Do people think that?
@@redizrad- unfortunately, yes.
I mean. If we don't fit in a ride, that's our own fault. We're putting our own lives on hold. This is from a bigger 2xl person. I didn't fit in the gringotts ride and didn't take it personally.
It’s crazy to me that people 4x and above expect that the entire world be retrofitted to accommodate them? If a 5 x fits the seat would a 10 year old? Isn’t the park for the kids?
No one thinks that.
This is a prime example of people hating on fat people for literally no reason. They're being harmlessly open about their theme park experiences, and I know thousands of plus size theme parks goers who would find their videos helpful.
I'm a theme park vlogger, and whilst I'm not the fittest person, I'm also not considered "plus size" and have never had a problem fitting on any ride. But I get regular worried messages from my plus size viewers asking me if I think they might fit on a certain ride or not.
As someone who doesn't experience their struggles, I feel bad that I can't always help. These lovely TikTokers are really helping a whole community with their vulnerability and open-ness.
But we should hate on fat people for literally no reason
Beautifully said!
And they do it in such a charming way too, just facts. I enjoy that a lot.
@@theweyrd yes. You can tell that they are good people.
i’m so happy to have come across this video bc i’m going to orlando next week and i’m a pretty big bitch. i’ve definitely been worried about fitting bc it’s humiliating when you don’t. these gals are a life saver. they couldn’t be more positive and helpful if they tried. no one’s allowed to be happy without an earful from keyboard warrior edgelords anymore lmao.
Universal Studios kicked off my weight loss journey. I wasn't able to fit on any of the rides, lost 150lb, and had a successful revenge tour last year. So yeah, it is possible to lose the weight and have your dream coaster experience!
Also, videos like these really helped with my anxiety when it was time to go back.
Let's fuckin goooooooo 👏👊💪
Same here! I couldn’t fit on one ride and that both upset me and motivated me to make changes. Grats on your weight loss!
Congratulations!! That’s absolutely incredible 🙌🏼🥹
@@resilientbodies tyyyy!
I don’t understand the negative comments under their videos. They aren’t complaining or bashing the theme parks, they’re just warning obese people what rides may/may not work for them
People love to feel superior, or talk down to someone to feel better about their own life
It blows my mind that people don't seem to understand that if you're overweight, you're not going to lose the weight overnight. I'm in the process of beginning my weight loss journey and it's going to take some time before I get to a point where I might be able to do certain things that others do with ease. Does that mean I should put my whole life on hold simply because I make other people feel uncomfortable or evoke some sort of hateful response from them? I like what these women are doing, in that, they're providing useful information to others and possibly helping people avoid the embarrassment and shame of not being able to do something because of their current size/physical limitations.
This is the problem with hating on all fat people. You can't just not be in the world and isolating yourself is a good way not to lose weight
This seems like a great channel for people with mobility issues in general. I have a friend who has trouble getting around due to hip injuries, and the information on stairs, whether you have to step up into rides, and what sort of restraints are used would be a huge help for her to plan which rides she'd want to even attempt to go for.
100%
This was what I was thinking too. Or maybe even parents with kids. Who wants to do a ton of stairs if your kid will make you carry them? lol
I'm tempted to follow their channel just to find out this kind of information! My parents have mobility issues but have expressed interest in going to universal.
Exactly!!
@@kir32 same! And I've sent it to my friends who can use this sort of information. It happens to have a ton of really helpful information.
“This episode of if I fits, I sits” 😆 😆 I find them delightful! They’re just give some insight to other would be “park hoppers”. Totally harmless imo.
The "if I fits I sits" got me too lol, they seem to have a great attitude.
Good point. I'm SO glad that they don't shame the parks or restaurants over accommodations.
Personally I have absolutely 0 problems with the content they're making - its exactly as you say; they're not demanding places to change, they're just being informative for those that want to visit these places and have anxiety about not fitting or being able to go on certain rides. It's for a very specific niche of people that would want this kind of information, so as long as it serves them, that's great! You cant loose 200lbs in one day, and a health journey is about loving yourself as you are; I know that when i was younger I would think that I wasn't deserving to go to a themepark UNTIL I fit. These informative videos show us that you're worth it to go at any size, just gotta test out the seats first!
As someone with a fused ankle that makes step-ups and stairs difficult, this info would be really helpful for me to know, even though I'm not their target demographic. Accessibility helps everyone.
I’m a former ride operator and this is actually helpful and it prepares people ahead of time so they don’t experience disappointment trying to get on the roller coaster. The worst thing was when I had to turn guests away because they couldn’t fit in the restraints of a ride (I would always try my hardest to make them fit). A lot of the ride restrictions are there for a reason-if someone falls out of a ride or gets injured, that’s a huge liability for the park. Most of the arguments I had with guests were over children not being tall enough to ride and doing everything in their power to lie and sneak them in-never worked lol. Regardless, you can still find ways to have fun at amusement park no matter who you are.
dude your actually the best person I’ve seen to cover this topic, I could see u carefully choosing your words to be respectful but still make a point. Props to u
I love that about him.
It's because he's empathetic, probably because he knows what it's like to be big..
Their content doesn't look bad to me. I don't really like amusement parks much, but these videos would probably help anyone anxious about what to expect. It's like videos detailing what the rides feel like.
Test seats make sense to me. It's like one of those "you must be this tall to ride" signs. If someone does have an extreme body type, it saves them time in line.
Also helpful for tall people, extremely small people (will you be held in tightly enough to be safe), people with various ailments (will this seat screw up my bad back or throw out my hip?). Given how expensive these places are and how long the lines are, this makes all the sense in the world.
And the embarrassment of having to leave without riding while everyone in line can see
@@jrochest4642when I was a kid, I remember seeing other kids using the test seats to see if they were tall enough. I also had a tall friend a couple years later who sometimes found the shoulder bars very uncomfortable, and he probably would’ve benefited from the test seat as well.
this is so unproblematic. as for the restaurants, the breakdown of the dining room is AMAZING for those with mental health issues surrounding anxiety as well as for people with disabilities both intellectual and developmental. I'm a DSP and a video like that would be perfect to watch before I take out my clients with wheelchairs or clients who need more space due to behavioral occurances.
I actually adore what they’ve titled it ‘if I fits I sits’ this is great content,and where our efforts should be focused in terms of calling out people hating on overweight people purely for existing-there’s no reason people should be hating on these girls
Isn't it so comforting for people to see that there are test seats you can check if you will fit. These ladies seem to be offering great content that could encourage folks to go to the parks with less anxiety over their size.
I've never been to an amusement park at the ripe old age of 39. I'm down 150lbs so I'm hoping that'll change some day.
Amazing work!
I haven't been to one for at least 15 years (also 39) and I'm on my weight loss journey to change that as well. Keep up the great work!
You’ll get there soon!! ❤
You'll get there 🙌
Keep going! Please go, I'm 29 and I still have such child like wonder with every rollercoaster I go on. 😂 anyone I take can't keep up.
I would have LOVED to have had access to this type of advice when I was a 5X-6X and dreaded going to amusement parks
I find it wild how much people care about stuff that doesn’t effect them. People with disabilities and larger people are grateful to have information that helps them better enjoy theme parks. Being fat isn’t a reason not to be included in things like theme parks.
This seems like a really helpful resource for people with all kinds of disabilities in addition to different body sizes. I love that they also review the rides. Honestly great work
I wasn't able to fit on a rollercoaster until I was 40 years old. almost 6 years ago now. I was always too fat to ride on them. I think what they are doing is good for others, so they do not waste their time. But if you do not fit, it's not done to be discriminatory, it's a safety issue. It seems like they are doing this more for informational purposes, so I really do commend them for it. I did get on my first rollercoaster at 40 years old and although it was fun and I laughed the whole time, it made me realize that I would have liked it better when I was younger. My 40 year old back and neck did not think it was as funny. 🙂
gravity exists
@@boosqueezy2418 unfortunately! My face and body is starting to notice that for sure. 😂
Yes, it is good they do these reviews. And it is as you say a safety issue, it is useful for people to know beforehand, especially those who specifically consider travel a distance to the park.
I saw a clip about a guy who fell out from his ride, he went with his friends and the bar did not give green light at first but someone from the staff (who was new and still in trainingperiod) could press it to give green, but the bar unlocked in the movement so he fell out during the ride (it was one of these that goes straight up and stay up for a while and then goes down in a "free fall"). So there might be a weight limit to the rides that should be considered even if the safety bar could be squeezed into green, especially since the burden get higher in movement.
Edit: the accident was in Orlando.
I think it’s brilliant. People deserve to be treated with respect and dignity regardless of their size. I love that this will help some people to feel more confident about going out and having a fun vacation!
When I was much heavier, I watched creators like this and joined FB groups for plus size theme park stuff. It helped a lot and I always appreciated knowing things ahead of time. Fat people deserve to have fun too! All the content I saw (several years ago now) was not blamey at all towards the parks. But one of the reasons I lost weight is bc I got tired of worrying about this kind of stuff. 🤷♀️
I think it’s fine like before I went to Disneyland I watched videos of other vegans eating there to know what to expect it’s kinda the same thing, and this could be used for actual disabled people that need to know how it will be to get in these rides
I'm not really into theme parks, but the channel seems really positive, helpful and informative. It makes me really sad that they're getting such hateful backlash :(
Mine were baseball seats. They were so uncomfortable and my hips were too big. I lost 100 pounds over the last 2 years and went to a game a few days ago, it’s so nice to fit 😮💨😃
I literally just got back from Disney and I was so excited to find their videos before my trip! I was so nervous about whether I would fit. I've lost 100lbs but I'm still plus sized and I hadn't been on any rides since I had to do the walk of shame for not fitting on a ride at 6 Flags 15ish years ago! Watching their videos really helped me relax and actually enjoy my trip instead of being filled with anxiety the whole time.
I also hate the divider between the legs so having that kind of info (even if I’m not that fat) is super helpful. More information is always a good thing, I should know since I’m deathly afraid of drops and I’m always asking my friends if a certain ride has drops or not, even if it seems silly.
Not only they're informative and go into details that can be useful to many different people aside from overweight people - like how the amount of stairs are so good to know if you or a loved one have a physical disability, joint pain, are of older age, etc, and it's an information you wouldn't be able to know unless you're already deep inside the line for the ride - BUT the girl narrating is SO sweet and speaks so respectfully and excitedly about the rides. She's basically doing the opposite of complaining: she's selling the rides and saying all the cool and good details about the rides and parks.
everyone's body is so unique the exact measurements are important. I know it may seem weird, but it really does help especially when people don't have the confidence to go out and try it themselves.
Seems like size 18 is the weight loss goal if you want to enjoy theme parks to the fullest. xD I think that's actually pretty generous of coaster engineers. Should be around 250 lbs per seat? Now imagine the whole coaster having a safety rating of 250 per person per seat, that's sooooo much weight to account for.
Their videos have come across my feed a few times. They’re just informative like a regular theme park reviewer. If I was a bigger person and about to spend a couple thousand dollars to go to a theme park, I’d love to have them to know if it’s worth it and gauge what I can fit on
I had a fear of not fitting or not having the stamina for the parks. Being too heavy is dangerous to be on certain rides! A child died a couple of years ago in Orlando because he was too heavy for the ride.
Sounds like they are still having a good time and just giving some tips and tricks.
Maybe I'm biased, I've lost 150 pounds and I'm an annual pass holder at Disney now! I go sometimes just to get my steps in!
This is such helpful information. Negative commenters have to seek out this information just to be cruel. I appreciate the way that you presented this!
This looks like a great channel -- helpful for people with mobility issues as well as for obese people. I think there's a population of people online who just delight at jeering at fat people doing anything, which is a sad way to spend one's time.
You’re absolutely right. And many are kids/teenagers who still benefit from crazy-fast metabolisms and have no idea how challenging weight loss can actually be for grown adults, especially women.
Her videos are so so so helpful for people for more reasons than just your weight and people don't get that. She describes exactly the type of securing mechanism and what might be challenging for people with mobility issues. That's so helpful for people who might have a medical device attached to them on their hip for example so knowing that it's a lap bar will help them know that ride might not be safe for them. Or if it's got a step down/stairs it could be hard for people with balance issues and they will know if that is a ride they could go on alone or if they might need a buddy for help. She's just giving people the details they need so they don't waste time in lines or feel they have to go on a ride that could be unsafe/uncomfortable for them since they waited in line that long while.
My brother couldn’t get a green light on Gringotts, but there was a staff member who told him the back row is slightly modified. He went ahead and got in line to try it, and he got it to lock! So thankful for that staff member because he wasn’t able to fit on the other Harry Potter rides.
I think one of the good things fat acceptance has wrought is fat testers for these rides. It probably saves people time and embarrassment, and that can be a big deal, especially if you've saved up money to attend a park like this as a vacation (couldn't be me, i dont think i would find it relaxing lmao) and they are worried about having their day off ruined by a humiliating experience. I dont think anyone deserves that. Being fat isn't a moral failure, they deserve to enjoy these parks safely and without unnecessary anxiety.
Seems like such a useful account! It’s worth pointing out that they share information that can be helpful to people who are disabled in multiple ways as well that I’m sure is hard to discern from a website
Not gonna lie I kinda LOVE this. It is such a cool way to see if we would fit, or if its something to work toward. I say we but I mean me LOL
😍🙌
I think this video series is a great idea! I never really worried about fitting into theme park rides, but with my personality if I was larger I would be afraid to go for fear of embarrassing myself by not fitting. This is a great visual for women or men their size.
I think this is fine. I have dietary restrictions so I always look at the menu before I go to a new restaurant so I’m not disappointed when I can’t eat anything. It makes me sad to think about someone being so excited to ride a certain ride & then experiencing extreme disappointment when they don’t fit. I agree with you in regard to their style of “it is what it is” & not shaming the parks.
Not being able to fit on things at Universal is what got me to go from 320 lbs to 170.
I think this channel seems lovely. I personally hate when FAs say that restaurants shouldn’t have ANY chairs with arms. Due to an accident I had to have both my knees and hips replaced so for a long time I could not get out of a chair without using the arms. Different people have different disabilities and fat activists aren’t the only people on earth.
Its not like they’re forcing a ride to work/ignoring safety to pretend to fit. They’re just saying “hey if you look like me you can/cant ride this!” How are people mad at this 🤦🏻
I was a little heavy in HS, but ive had a healthy BMI most of my 40-something years. I was watching these videos the other day BC im taking my kids to florida and my 17yr old is 6’6 and 140lbs so while SUUUUPER thin (dont worry, all he does is EAT. Just genetics and teenagerness) im a little concerned about him being able to fold his 38” inseam legs into rides since ive felt snug with my 34” inseam legs.
Nothing worse than going with friends and you being the only one who won’t fit. Lost 220lbs since those days but I remember the dejection. The theme parks have size restrictions for safety and people have to understand that to prevent injuries.
This is honestly incredibly helpful. Even though I’m able to fit in roller coasters, I have disabilities so I need to know what rides I can even get to. I hate amusement parks because I never know what to expect.
ive been to an amusement park last summer... barely fit on my fav ride. so ive lost 65 pounds since then 🙇♀️
They seem to have a great attitude!
i feel like this is such a good resource for larger people and if anyone is clowning on it then it's one time when people are truly just hating bigger people just to hate tbh!
It's not 'just the one time'' hating on fat people just cause they're fat does happen a lot. Fat acceptance just takes that to 100%, but people are genuinely rude af because you're fat, especially because now people just assume any fat person they see online is a fat activist.
I’m from Australia and love Harry Potter. I spent two years on a weight loss journey watching these ladies before I went to Orlando. I’m so proud to say I got back last weekend and fit on everything with room to spare. In one instance a cast member said “you may be Aussie fat but you’re not American fat” and wouldn’t even let me try the test seat. Anyway these beautiful ladies gave me a goal, armed me with info and prepared my expectations. I’m so grateful to them.
Yep. A friend of mine felt absolutely petit in the USA 😁 She struggles with her weight ( depression related) and has had the usual Aussie bluntness when out. Went to Los Vegas and was literally average sized.
I don't have a weight issue anymore but I absolutely have a height issue that I would love to have this kind of content for. Waiting in line can take like an hour and it's incredibly embarrassing to be turned away from a ride in your 30s because you're under 5 foot. And I've even had a terrifying instance where I was tall enough but the harness at its tightest was so loose that I had to hold myself down because it felt like I was flying out of the seat the entire time. Or those awful suspended ones that I couldn't plant my feet on for support so I spent the whole time dangling by the crotch with my full weight on a bumpy ride 😫
I'm a plus size woman and have less than zero desire to go to a theme park and ride a roller coaster, but I do think this is interesting because I love traveling and would do it a lot more if I didn't have anxiety about being able to fit in airplane seats without having to ask for a seat belt extender, so I'm still fascinated by this kind of content. I get it.
I am a big & tall individual and am working on slimming down but was unable to before a family trip to Disney/Universal. I did find a few FB groups of plus side riders and it was helpful to know a head of time which ones might be accepting of larger sizes and not. What was wild is that some people might be "bigger" and fit on a ride while someone who is smaller was not. Body composition has an effect when you take a person and have them sit down, depending on where the weight sits and where the restraints squeeze can make a difference.
I'd find this really helpful if I went to one of these parks. While I'm not overweight, I have mobility trouble with stairs and ramps, and I got a few helpful bits from these clips
Their videos seem fantastic and really helpful for people. I know when I was bigger I was just mortified and filled with anxiety by the idea that I possibly wouldn't fit so I just refused to go to any theme parks but having a guide to which ones would have had a few rides I could go on and what places wouldn't, would have made the entire thing more manageable and I probably wouldn't have self-secluded so much.
This is great. I sometimes need help at the airport if I have to drag my luggage a long way due to muscle weakness that comes and goes. I would appreciate the accommodations and restrictions for lots of differently ambled bodies. This is a good channel.
This seems like genuinely informative and wholesome content that would be helpful to anyone who wants to know what they'll be able to do at the parks, whether it's ride height or size requirements, mobility, intensity of the ride, food options, etc.
I think this is really helpful for people to see ahead of time, to help with anxiety.
I love how diplomatic and understanding you are ❤
This was one of the things I was most afraid of at my largest. Being able to have an idea of whether or not to even try before going would help so much. it's mortifying to have to try the test seats and find out you don't fit (well it was for me, I wish it was normalized).
I like that they're doing this, it can be useful for others too! Like the part about how many stairs there are - I recently hurt my back pretty bad, and this would be great information to have. I think it's pretty wholesome actually, yes they could change their bodies to fit in the rides if they wanted to, but in the meantime this content is great and helpful!
Your hair is looking good man😊
I think they’re great. It’s a good idea so people know what to expect. I think it’s super important for fat folks to get out there and move around and going to amusement parks is a great way to get exercise since they need walk around. Walking is a good lower impact exercise for heavy people. I think sometimes when you’re fat, you’re embarrassed to get out there, which makes your condition worse. Seeing these ladies visiting parks together might inspire other fat folks to do it to. I’d just focus on finding healthier food options to help people make better decisions when they visit parks.
The only problem I have is the mass amount of people who use “loose” instead of “lose”. Thats all.
I love this. Super helpful and informative. ♥️
My husband was watching a documentary on amusement park accidents. The majority of accidents were due to a person being disabled or overweight.
For example, if you are top heavy due to a condition, or missing limbs, it throws off the weight balance. Rides were made considering the aerodynamics of the average healthy human. So I wouldn’t complain about a lack of inclusivity.
However they don’t sound like they are complaining so far. Other influencers would definitely throw fits over common sense.
ACTUALLY, they do complain about an employee not shoving the bar to force down. One of the accidents that led to death, was an obese woman that had the employee force the bar into her gut. Her weight caused the bar to malfunction. Its safety.
I haven't watched your videos jn a couple years, but revisiting, I know why I loved them - I'm so glad you don't just bash people and instead spread positivity and empathy for everyone, no matter where they're at at the moment. Thank you for your content and being an inspiration!
I would honestly just be so depressed if i spent all that money going to a theme park like Universal or Disney, and not be able to ride anything fun
A few years ago I took my nephews to sea work six flags and knots for Xmas and at every park I could fit on 2-3 rides max. At six flags I. Even had to lift up my tummy before buckling to even fit. My oldest nephew only does what he can do with me so he refuses to go on any of the rides I couldn’t. How sad he was that I couldn’t do the things we wanted to do together was my motivation to change! A year later and 90 pounds smaller, we went back to six flags and sea world and I rode every single ride at six flags and all but one at sea world. The look of excitement on my nephews face when I fit made it all worth the hard work! I still have a long way to go but being able to got to theme parks and making my nephews trips more magical where the best none scale victory’s I could possibly ask for !
I haven’t seen their videos, but before my weight loss journey there were times when I wouldn’t fit on rides, and there wasn’t tester seats. So I would get on and then be told I had to get off, which can be really embarrassing. So I find these videos to be very sweet and helpful for those who have not started their weight loss journey yet.
At my heaviest I got to experience the absolute humiliation of going to ride rollercoasters at Busch Gardens only to realize the safety bars wouldn’t lock because of my size. Horrible. That was 150lbs ago.
I think this is thoughtful and helpful from them! Their videos don’t seem to push any weight agenda and I can see this being super helpful for someone starting a weight loss journey or for someone worried about it.
When I was 15 my parents took me to Disney for my birthday, it was my first time abroad, and the most vivid memory I have is of almost being ran over by a caravan of obese people on scooters that were trying to zoom into the Toy Story attraction
Informative and useful for lots of travelers (as well as the parks) No misinformation. All good.
I was 380 at one time. How I WISH I had known about their channel. There are so many places I didn’t go because I didn’t know if I’d fit or if there were barriers like stairs. The anxiety of not knowing kept me home more times than I can count. I missed out on so much life. God bless these women who are willing to answer the questions that so many aren’t brave enough to find out for themselves when going somewhere new.
I find their videos very informative and helpful. Also the chest size since as that helps as well. I will need to follow them ❤
They aren’t asking for special treatment. They are out getting the info on their own. I think it’s great.
I think this is great. I have a good friend with Parkinson’s who finds it extremely stressful going places without an idea of the stairs/access involved.
I imagine someone might feel extremely anxious not knowing if they'd be able to fit on a ride or not. They might want to spend money on a trip but if they can't ride, they shouldn't have to waste their money. These videos are really helpful and informative for people who want to inform themselves beforehand about the weight restrictions on rides. As you said, they don't condemn the parks for having the restrictions, they just inform people of them, so people can anticipate not being able to fit, or decide not to go. I see it as a positive thing - yes, ideally, no one would be morbidly obese, but the reality is that many people are and these videos could ease their anxiety.
Thank you for the vacation ideas.
They also do tidbits on plane travel too! They are so strong for making these videos because 90% of the comments are just vile.
I am a plus size person. I am trying to lose weight but it takes time and my process is slow. I want to enjoy moments in my life too and to be able to avoid those anxiety-induced moments related to my size impeding my happiness really help! These videos also showed me there are still many rides I can enjoy and now I don’t need to avoid!
I appreciate your video but I felt like you gave their critics too much credit. The people being vile and saying fatphobic things aren’t coming from a good place. None of them are. They are there to be mean and feel better about their own insecurities.
I really like the seat like tryer before the line too! Not only does it help plus size people, but it helps people of ALL sizes/shapes/disabilites see if they can ride the ride safely prior to wasting time in a line. Some of those lines are over an hour long!
This is a great video! I'm glad they are willing to help others with how a ride or seat might be at Disney. I hope whoever suggested this video didn't expect you to bash it. These girls are just bing helpful while also having a good time at a theme park. 😊
When i worked there a woman who was too big to ride actually LOST weight and came back to ride it. She was so proud and so happy she could experience it. Ppl need to stop blaming RIDES or companies bc they have weight limits and restrictions bc they HAVE to
My initial reason to start my weight loss journey was to fit roller coasters. We had season passes for Dollywood and Cedar Fair. I was able to fit almost all the rides at Dollywood, especially as the season went on (every trip I was a little smaller so it got easier). But Cider Fair wasn't so good. I've lost significantly more weight since our passes expired and I'd love to go back to see how different the experience would be now. I love that these kinds of vloggers exist, it really helped me plan trips before my weight loss 😊
Some people just want to degrade and tear down others because they take delight in their misery.
It's sad and pitiful behavior, but there's not really much you can do accept address it.
I feel like their videos are helpful and practical. No one is being affected negatively by the test seats and showing people ahead of time gives them the knowledge they need so they can navigate through the park easier, not be humiliated in front of others, or hold up the line needlessly.
They're not turning it into a cause, they're just giving people information.
Some people are just relentlessly negative.
This is seems like a cool channel ? And obviously not every viewer is gonna see it that way, but it could be motivation to lose weight for some people ? For example, the 3X girl doesn't fit while the 2X girl does. Losing enough weight to go down to a 2X seems a lot more achievable than a generic "don't be fat", and I could see some people who like this theme park enough get motivated to be able to enjoy more rides. Idk. People on the internet just want to be angry sometimes
I love their concept!
I absolutely love that you shared their channel. If I was bigger and watched how I couldn't ride any of the rides at one park but I could at another, guess where my money's going? Even though they aren't directly advocating for change, THIS is how it happenes
Love this. At my heaviest, I couldn't ride some rollercoasters, but I could others. It was always awful to figure out at the front of the line that something wasn't going to work (thank goodness for test seats, but they aren't at every park for every ride).
Now, I've lost enough weight that I don't **think** I would have a problem if I went on another theme park trip, but honestly, it can be hard to tell on the rides that are most notorious for being a tight fit.
These girls seem so wholesome and like they are just genuinely trying to give helpful advice for them who are bigger and would benefit from this knowledge, I like them ❤. Even though I have never personally had to worry about these kind of things dispute been overweight, I can definitely see the benefit these kind of videos the girls are making for those who do struggle with these problems and I think it’s nice that bigger people have these kind of videos to help them know what is possible for them and what isn’t so they can get their money’s worth out of these amusement parks, so I agree with you John that there’s nothing wrong with these videos so far from what we have seen so far ❤ ps I like the fact they have more of these tester rides so bigger lovely people don’t have to waste their time waiting for a ride they might not be able to fit in and also it can be less embarrassing for them since they don’t have to be rejected in a huge line, which always was hurtful seeing they have to go through that 😢x
The only thing I don’t agree with is that a restaurant that only booths with tables that don’t move IS bad. Not even just for weight reasons, both under and over weight, but that there’s safety issues like trying to get to someone or get them out of a booth if a medical emergency or choking happens
No these girls seem so nice and even if some of the things they say strike me as a bit silly sometimes they don’t deserve the hate they get
LOVED this video, thank you for speaking up about this, im so tired of seeing these ladies get hate! theyre literally just existing! theyre helping people out, and i appreaate them, i really do
The tester seats are great in general for really tall people as well who aren’t sure if they’ll fit a ride seat. I think this account is super helpful for people with different body types!
