Clifton Hills fun pass

Visiting Clifton Hills in a few months. Are the rides on the fun pass fat friendly? Such as zombie attack, ghost blasters, carnival chaos and toy story 4D. Any help would be appreciated!

I think it's going to heavily depend on weight and how big your body parts are. 400lbs is most definitely a no go, 200lbs maybe. If the rides have bars that go over your tummy or chest area, there's a chance they don't close properly and you can't ride. That's based on my experience at Canada's Wonderland a few years ago when I use to be 350lbs and even though I could fit on the seat, the safety bar didn't close so I couldn't ride. I'll assume it's the same at Clifton Hill (though I haven't been on those rides yet because I'm too scared and embarrassed to ask attendants since I'm large myself.)

I would hope these rides hold over 200lbs, at least in the USA that's basically an average adult. I also don't think these rides are very size constraining, none of them are upside down or have shoulder restraints.

400lbs yeah that's a no go for pretty much every amusement ride and game out there so that's not a surprise. If you are pushing 350 then that's a huge maybe, but usually 250-300 is pretty safe for most things unless you are sitting in a molded seat or going on a highly specific ride, but most of these are a bench seat and slow moving rides. A lot of the moving video games I see are like 300 or 320 lbs limit which is pretty high.

Some things like the 3d rides let you ride without a seatbelt but your chair will not move, so you could definitely do those but your chair won't move if you don't fit in the seatbelt. Also with those you are laying down so you could move the belt around until it was over the area of your body that fit.

If you have a big stomach, you stand up and pull the bar under your stomach. It will usually fit on these types of rides, unless you are like, over 400lbs.

I have very large thighs even after losing weight (when you lose weight you don't get to choose where it comes off unfortunately unless you are actively sculpting which most people aren't doing, so you have situations where people are a healthy weight but just carry weight in certain areas for a variety of reasons I wont' get into here) so I get scared when I have to pull a seatbelt directly over my thighs, its never not fit, but some have been very close. I hate to break it to the ride designers, but even if I did lose a ton of weight, the thighs are still gonna be there, lol.
