Universal Studios Plus Size Review - complete guide to all rides at the park from a fat guy's POV

[@melissabroussard2923]

For measurement purposes, I am 5'11" and when I went to Universal in February 2021 I was about 330lbs. (Measurements below) I was able to get on a good bit of the rides. Of the rides at Universal Studios and IOA the only rides I 100% could not ride were: 1. Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure (My thighs were too big to get the bar down -- approximately 33in around while sitting) 2. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (I felt like a sardine in a can because of my shoulders) 3. Doctor Doom's Fearfall (If you have childbearing hips and a medium - large frame....forget it) I went on all of the other rides EXCEPT Flight of the Hippogriff, simply because I didn't want to ride it, and Popeye & Bluto's Barges, because it was closed. These are my current measurements **Keep in mind I did these whilst SITTING because it give a more accurate measurement while trying to get on the rides.** Current weight: 305lbs Bust: 52in Waist (with largest part of belly): 56.75in Hips: 56in Thighs: 33in Hope this helps!

I really like that there are testers seats. It would really suck and be embarrassing to get to the front and not be able to fit. I'm a plus size woman at a little over 360lbs so this is awesome.

[@joeb2]

I was always so nervous about not fitting on coasters that I didn’t try for a while. I was 321 lbs and almost had the same body as you did, at least proportioned the same. I’m down to 264 and I’m so excited to get back on some coasters again. This is a fantastic video and so informative. My wife is a bigger woman too, so it’s nice to know that we will fit on most of these rides when we go at some point in the near future.

[@DorkyDude]

Glad i could help....and congrats on the weight loss! You'll probably be good to go for anything now! I hope you have a blast!

Man I was at Universal in Feb. 2020 and I was like 330 I couldnt do any of the Harry Potter stuff I didnt even try the mummy because I was so deflated about it I just let my wife and kid just go on without me fast forward to right now Sept 2020 actually the 12-16 which is right now I worked my A$$ off and I'm 275-280 right now and I have rode everything 5 times and I mean everything use it as motivation people and Grind you can do this if I can I know u can now get to work!!!!!!!

Soooo appreciate this video! And I relate to your story so much! CONGRATS on your weight loss! I've gone from 380 to 270 in the last year and I'm finally going to try US for the first time this summer, and I've been so stressed over the thought of fitting into their rides because of US' terrible reputation. Your video gave me a lot of hope! I'm hoping to be down to 250 by the time we go and my heart is SET on making it onto the HP rides but...at least if I don't I know what other rides I can definitely turn to thanks to you!

[@DorkyDude]

I'm so glad I could help...and congrats on the weight loss...I definitely know the struggle. A couple of the rides may feel a little snug but I don't think you'll have any issues fitting onto the rides at that weight. I look forward to hearing how it goes...I hope you have a fantastic time! Thanks for watching and sharing your story.

Great video! I found that Disney is MUCH more accommodating for large folks like myself, so don’t give up hope for being able to have fun with your family in Orlando. FYI on the Jimmy Fallon ride. I visited Universal Florida this last summer, and the employees there came up to me and gave me a seat belt extender right away. I’m 6’ 00”, 400 lbs and my weight is pretty evenly distributed. Rode it twice with no problem with that extender. If needed, don’t hesitate to ask for one.

[@DorkyDude]

We have had a great time at Disney in the past. We went the year before I made this Universal Video and I was able to ride everything at around 400 lbs. I'm hoping to get back to Universal soon at under 300 and try a few more of these rides I wasn't able to try the last time. Thanks for watching!

Hello! Just went and thought I’d share my experience. I am a 5’8 300 pound male. I was able to get on all of the rides at both parks except: Rip Ride Rock It RollerCoaster Harry Potter Forbidden Journey Hagrids Motorbike Ride Dr Dooms Death Drop I was very pleased to find out I could still ride the Gringotts ride and the Velocicoaster. Had a great time but def good motivation to lose weight so I can get on everything next time I go.

[@thewanderer2020]

With regards to Jimmy Fallon, they do offer seat belt extenders if you ask while you're waiting in line. They're very discreet about it and it's already in there and hooked up when you get to your seat.

Thank you. That's very helpful info.

[@torihanna8670]

Thank you for this guide! I do wish it was up-to-date but yours was the most up-to-date I could find! This is so important for fat people and bigger-bodied people. For some rides, your waist has to be less than 40" which I feel like is so small! I wish public spaces accommodated fat people and our bodies better. Thank you for this information!

Thanks for doing this video bro. Taking the fam Tuesday and staying a week. Im appox. 315 lbs. Sucks not being able to ride some rides but nice knowing ahead of time. Congrates on the weight loss. My turn now!

I hope you all have an amazing time. There will probably be a couple things you may not be able to manage.....but you are a bit lighter than I was when I went so maybe you'll have better luck. Like you said though, knowing ahead of time and managing your expectations really makes a world of difference in preparing for and having the most fun when you visit. Thanks for watching.

[@davidreynolds9744]

Thanks for making these videos. I plan to go to OH next year and hit parks around the state. Your videos have been great. To add some additional context for your viewers about Universal. I went to Universal last October. I was 5'11" and 300lbs when I went. I do lift so, while I carry extra weight in my stomach, I have big shoulders and thighs. I was able to squeeze in (I mean just barely) for everything except Hagrid's and Dr. DOOM. For Hagrid's my thighs were the issue. For Dr. Doom if I sat up my chest blocked the bar and if I slouched my stomach was the issue. One key tip is that some of the rides have "larger" (relative term) rider rows.

[@DorkyDude]

Glad to hear I could be of some help. I wish you the best of luck...I know it's not easy. Thanks for watching!

[@Carl_Johnson_from_grove_street]

Hey man FYI, on the ET ride you can ask for BENCH SEATING and on the last row instead of individual seats, the entire row is a bench without those individual bars. WAY More room

[@DorkyDude]

Thanks for the info. I don't know why I never noticed it before....but I never did. I always like to sit in front by ET popping up out of the basket.

It was a bummer for me since I like thrilling rides! Also I struggle in some of the rides to get in and out! Water log, mummy! So if you want to ride please do your best to loose weight! I carry my weight around hips and belly just in case! I’m 5’7! Hope this helps because I trust that was going to be able to fit 😤😩😢

This was an awesome video. We have a family trip to Universal and I was pretty frustrated that I wouldn’t be able to ride anything. But now it looks promising

[@DorkyDude]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lesleighjohnson5054]

The Harry Potter ride he spoke of I thought was very uncomfortable. I am 275 at most & as a woman carry my weight in my lower stomach & the bar had to get in a yellow area & actually have a piece click out. Even though my bar was locked, and it showed the yellow - it did not pop out so they would not let me on the ride. I did not see the test seat but it's worth seeing all of the stuff before the actual ride!

[@DorkyDude]

If you are talking about "The Forbidden Journey", I agree. The castle is well worth walking through to see the theming inside....it's like an attraction unto itself. Thank you sharing as well. I know we are not all built the same, so it's fantastic to hear from another perspective of someone that has attempted the ride.

[@lesleighjohnson5054]

@@DorkyDude Escape from Gringotts was the ride I had trouble with. Seems like they could be more accommodating on these. The bar could come down & still lock on heavier people without it having to lock in a specific spot for everyone. Thanks for your reviews!

[@-Dwight-Schrute]

I appreciate you doing this video. It does suck sometimes being the big guy. I'm 6ft 4 and 325, do you think it would be a problem fitting on the Hagrid ride? Was it available for you to ride when you went?

[@DorkyDude]

I'm glad I could help. I do have a video on just the Hagrid ride that you can check out on my page if you want. But, to answer your question.....it's gonna be a close one for you I think. I was 325 when we went....and I could not manage to fit on Hagrid's (yes it was available....at a 3 hour wait! lol). But, I am only 5'10. With you having about 6 inches on me in height....that may stretch the distribution of your weight out a bit and give you a better shot at fitting. There is a test seat off to the side right in front of the ride so you can check before you have to wait in the ridiculously long line for this one. Hope this helps. I'm rooting for you!

[@-Dwight-Schrute]

@@DorkyDude Thanks, I saw another big guy on a video that was able to fit in the test seat but then not on the ride. They told him the test seat sits in the sun and expands and that difference is all it took. I'll check your other video now. Thanks again.

Love your video. Last time I went in June 2019 I was able to fit on all the rides just okay. But when riding gringotts it was incredibly uncomfortable.

you had to have been close on Gringots. The one time I was able to ride it, I was around 320. The main thing was getting your knees between the bars that come down.

I'm a thinner person and even I avoided the Jimmy Fallon ride because the seats look so cramped/uncomfortable and made me claustrophobic looking at them lol. I have no idea why they would make them so small?

[@DorkyDude]

I'll never understand it either.......I didn't really care for the ride. I miss Twister.

[@UnderratedMax]

I am going next week with my brother in law. You and him are similar in size however I was curious about your height, he is 6'0ft 320lbs, figuring if he is taller by a few inches he may have some luck with a few of these tight squeeze rides.

[@DorkyDude]

Having a little extra height does help some with overall weight distribution (i'm 5'9). But, its gonna be a squeeze either way....make sure to check all the test seats first so you don't have to wait in those long lines. Good luck!

[@chocolatepuddin9440]

So how was the ride since you been. Did u fit

[@tiffanybrown2968]

I think it's cruel that these coaster manufacturers make these rides just for svelte regular size people when most of Americans are of larger sizes. I was so embarrassed at Dorney Park last week in PA on the Talon I missed the buckle by 3inches if I had an extension I would have been fine🤦🏾‍♀️ We are planning a family trip to Bush Gardens next summer so I'm going to lose more of my tummy to save embarrassment Thanks for these videos keep them coming there are many large park goers that need this info before going to help them prepare

[@DorkyDude]

It makes it difficult sometimes. Good luck on the weight loss. I'm rooting for you!

[@maxjonak6742]

Thanks so much! I’m 5’10 240.. do you think I’ll have any issues?

[@DorkyDude]

Probably not. A couple may be a little snug (depending on where you hold your weight) but I would bet a hefty sum that you'll be able to ride whatever you want.

[@CWESTERBECK]

Excellent video, thank you so much for all the great information. I have the pleasure of not only being fat, but also tall. You mentioned several times your current weight, but how tall for reference? At about 6'4" and 330lbs, in your experience on these rides will the height be an issue in addition to the weight?

[@DorkyDude]

I've heard that it can be. At 6'4, your 330 is probably stretched out a little more than my 330 was when I went. I'm 5'10 with most of my body length in my torso. I'm able to pull my legs in quite a bit because they're short. I would imagine that you will probably be able to ride nearly the same rides that I was. The one exception I see is that maybe you will be able to get onto Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.....test seat out front (try the bike and not the side car). Hope this helps. You may want to check out Parks In Your Pocket. Dave on that channel does similar videos to me, except he's tall (6'8 I think).....could be some good info for you.

[@jessicag2387]

Hi, Thank you for this video, it was very helpful.I wanted to ask you a question.I am 4'11 and weigh 244lbs. Based on you info do you think i will be ok with the Universal Studios rides?

[@DorkyDude]

Based on your height to weight ratio, I suspect you'll probably be ok (and have issues with) The same rides I did. If you watch my video and hear me say I can't ride or it was a tight fit, those are the ones I would worry about. It's really hard to tell for sure though. Everybody is built different.

I'm 340 but I'm also tall, Around 6'4" or 6'5" so I think I might be long enough to not be too bulky in the seat. Let's hope! 🤞

[@DorkyDude]

Usually about 10lbs an inch is what I notice is comparable when I compare myself to the fit of others. So, Since you're like 6 inches taller than me.....the length should give you enough room to "stretch" out and make the fit. Good luck!

I'm 6'5 and almost 300LB. I managed to "fit" into those seats on that second ride since my weight is pretty evenly spread out over my body. Worst decision of the day! Spend the whole ride using my legs fighting the g-forces, pushing myself back in the seat trying prevent my upper body from digging into that safety bar since it was so painful. Then there was that divider between your legs...my boys were perched right on top of it. Needless to say, I thought they were going to rupture. By the time we rolled back into the station, my face was so red I was starting to turn purple and I was breathing heavily. Big dudes should just skip this ride all together.

Can you do all the rides for island of adventure!! Thank yoy

[@DorkyDude]

I want to....but I haven't tried them all yet. I was wanting to hold off on these until I could do a FULL review of each park. There are a couple of Seuss Landing rides I've never made it over to. Hopefully I can get this info soon for you. Thanks for watching!

I think that 6" or taller and less of 300lb will fit in any ride

[@tracyann1983]

Do you know the measurements of your hips back then

[@DorkyDude]

I'm really not sure....but I was about a 44-46 inch waist for pants if that helps any.

[@DorkyDude]

Any time. Thanks for watching!

[@andrewcalcagno8272]

I’m 5’9 and I weigh 245 pounds with most of my weight being in my stomach. Do you think that I will fit on all of the rides?

[@DorkyDude]

I really don't think you'll have any issues.

[@andrewcalcagno8272]

@@DorkyDude That's very reassuring, because I'm heading to the park in a couple of days. I've been working out, and this morning, the scale said that I weighed 239.

[@YRNKev999]

[@DorkyDude]

5-9

[@southernchick9077]

[@chubbzy24153]

So......real life question....im shaped like you, around 330lb. I wear 44-46 waist but I dont "Steve Urkle" my pants up on my stomach, but more under my belly. What about you? Free to DM me

[@DorkyDude]

Same. This video you are commenting on would have me at nearly the exact same weight and waistline measurements.
