Cadeus Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) I know that they are two totally seperate rides but how accomadating is cheetah hunt as compared to manta?? Can't fit any of the modified B@M seats. Really need to lose weight again.. Will cheetah hunt be a no go? What is the policy on fitting or not fitting there?

cfc Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Two things: 1. It's spelled "Cheetah" (unless you're talking about the famous chimp from the old Tarzan movies). 2. It's difficult to answer your question without knowing your size, but the Intamin OTSRs on Cheetah Hunt are fairly accomodating for larger riders.

Cadeus Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 350 6''1' Hoping that it is okay.. manta was a really tight squeeze.. outta of all the coasters at busch that is the one i want to ride the most. B@M's not even going to try with the modified seating unless it is different than kracken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
154bmag Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) I've seen a lot of people get kicked off of B&Ms because they're too big. Yet I've never seen someone getting kicked off an Intiman because they're too big, but that's all that I've seen.

Giovanni Bianchi Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Im hungry. I read cheeto hunt. Can't wait to give this baby a ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatle11 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'm about the same height and somewhere around 300 pounds, and the OSTR's on rides like Storm Runner and Maverick leave me with tons of slack. I haven't ridden Cheetah Hunt, but assuming they are the same, I would think you would fit fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 While I've never heard of anyone NOT fitting on Cheetah Hunt, but the reality of the situation is this - if you're a big dude and know you need to lose a bunch of weight to fit on most roller coasters, don't be surprised if you don't fit. That's pretty much the only advice I can offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedmetal Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 My brother in-law is a big guy he usually goes for the big boy seat and he couldn't fit the test seat for Cheetah Hunt so he didn't ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Clinksalot Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 350 6''1' 6 inches 1 foot I don't think you meet the height requirement. But as was said above, you just have to be prepared that you won't fit. I'd try the test seat first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Unfortunately, I don't think you will fit. I can fit in a non modified B&M seat (although barely) and at Cheetah Hunt, even if you can buckle the seatbelt, the restraint may not be lowered enough for the ride to be dispatched. I saw that happen to someone else where they had to really push on the OTSR to have it lowered more and for my 2nd ride a ride op pushed down the restraint more so it could dispatch even though in both cases the restraint was buckled.

Getting the seat belt around me on Dragster and Millennium force can be pretty difficult, and i'm 5'11" 200lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
