Cedar Point, Kings Island and More: Plus Size Rides Rated
Sunday, October 25, 2026
These six parks were Cedar Fair parks before the 2024 merger with Six Flags. Here is how every ride Jason tested at Cedar Point, Kings Island, Kings Dominion, Carowinds, Knott's Berry Farm and Dorney Park rated for plus size riders.
How the color ratings work
- Green: no size challenges
- Yellow: fit, but may have a seatbelt or a big step
- Orange: very tight, or just missed. Still worth checking
- Red: far off at the testing size. If you are near his size, you probably will not fit
Testing sizes changed over the years, so each park below lists the size Jason was when he tested it where the guide records it. Some Red rides are kids-only rides, so the rating can reflect age rules and not seat fit alone. Every body is different. Use the test seat at the ride entrance when a park has one.
