New England Theme Parks for Plus Size Riders
Sunday, October 25, 2026
Here is how every ride Jason tested at Six Flags New England, Lake Compounce, Canobie Lake Park and Quassy 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.
