Very sad situation indeed. I have to admit this but it makes me thankful that my home park cedar point is over the top with the restraint system and larger riders. I know it has not been confirmed if this was a plus size person or not, but if so then I'm sure Six Flags will make sure the proper restraints are added across the board for all coasters. This is definitely bad press for gerstlauer which no company would want to get but in the end it will help enhance these type of restraint systems to create less opportunity for these type of accidents.

Well first off; the park was not that busy at all. Crowds did not start coming until aroung 1pm and even then; the park was not overcrowded. I was easily able to get on Demon drop, iron dragon, disaster transport, blue streak, magnum, gemini, mean streak( I swear I need a chiropractor after that ride) and maverick which is by far big people friendly surprisingly. I did not feel like riding wildcat, corkscrew or CCMR. I missed raptor, wicked twister and mantis by inches!!!! My shoulders are really broad, so as I lose more wieght they'll come down along with my chest. I swear you must have to be a toothpick to buckle millenium force or dragster, but it gave me incentive for next year as I missed those by inches as well since you have to have some slack left over. Maxair was close too....I look forward to next spring. Thanks for the help with suggesting rides that I could get on!!!! Oh just a side note I turned a 3 hour drive to CP from Flint into a 2hour and 28min!!!!!!!

thats good to know...maybe I'll where a girdle for extra inches lol!!! Yeah I have lost about 35 pounds in the last 7 months. I used to be smaller, but i just blew up and the last straw was when I was in virginia at KD and the only coaster I would fit on was anaconda and the bobsled coaster...I needed to lose the extra weight, so I look forward to CP on monday...thanks alot

I am 6'1 315 pounds-belly not too big-44 inch waist. Would I have difficulties on cedar point rollercoasters?
