To ask for overweight experiences at alton towers

[Justanothernamechange2]

Supposed to be going to A.T next week but im worried im too fat.

Im aware of the "chest restrictions" noted on the website - im not worried about those, im not exactly top heavy.

My issues are my thighs and tum. I wear a 18 top and a 22jeans. I worry about the bars coming down and my thighs being too chunky for them to close.

Does anyone have any experience to put my mind at rest, or even stories that will make me stay home instead

"I don't shy away from robust debate. In fact, I welcome it."

@smallstate, for there to be any sort of debate you'd actually need to make a point.

@BumDisease - I did that succinctly in my first post.

Its called freedom of speech, get used to it snowflakes
Here’s some freedom of speech for you smallstate you’re a patronising prick, the OP didn’t ask for weight loss advice.

OP have a fab time at AT and as pp’s have said there’s normally a chair at the ride entrances to test how they fit. My DH has to try them out as he has a long body so the shoulder bars don’t always come down enough to lock properly.👍🏻

Twat off! smallstate
Enjoy your day OP.

@smallstate and you've been asked repeatedly to elaborate on that by letting us know how the OP can lose the necessary weight by next week. Please, we're all ears.

@BumDisease - obviously no one can lose it all in a week but you could easily do 10lbs to a stone which would make life easier.

In a week?

Fucking LOL.

Smallstate? Bog off, there's a dear.

"obviously no one can lose it all in a week but you could easily do 10lbs to a stone which would make life easier."

😂😂😂

And that still doesn't tell us HOW. 😂

@ProfessorMoody - I've done it Before, it's a matter of will power

Thanks for everyone who commented kindly. Ill hopefully be ok - maybe skip air/galactia or whatever its called these days. I used to go to alton towers A LOT when younger. I know i dont need to justify myself to someone behind a screen, but my recent weight gain is due to new medication and thats why im stressing so much and asking for advise - though never skinny, until recently ive never been in a position to need to question if id fit in a seat or not.

Again thanks to the kind people- i will keep this thread active and update for anyone who may also havr concerns for how i get on.

I’m interested to know how large smallslate is, what tough comments were made to them.

If in their case they just over ate and got fat they might feel that’s the case for everyone. It isn’t, people have medical reasons for weight gain, depression included as well as actual physical health issues.

Freedom of speech is good, it means we all have the freedom to say piss off smallslate.

Piss off :)

Again, Smallstate, you have no idea what medication the OP is on, whether they are disabled, whether they can exercise, what foods they are able to eat etc.

It has fuck all to do with willpower in many cases.

If you can't understand how to be kind, you definitely won't understand the complexities of the human body, so I'll leave it there.

Have a wicked time! Tell me about the rides there. I cannot wait to go next year. =) x

I'm not the one crying cos someone's said something I don't agree with on the internet

That's exactly what you're doing. You acted like a dick. People told you you were acting like a dick then you cried about freedom of speech. Nobody stopped you being an obnoxious prick they just pointed it out. Freedom of speech works both ways snowflake!

You could try losing the weight op.

When you have completed your own weightloss 'journey' SmallState I would suggest you turn your attention to your personality.
Seems it needs rather a lot of work.

This. I'm naturally slim but I'd prefer be fat and kind over thin and a total arsehole!

@WhiteDust - when you can't win the argument so you result to personal attacks.

As a few pp have said, ss, we don't know whether the op has medical issues, medication or a disability. There's often another reason and it's not as easy as, 'go on a diet and lose weight.' plus, losing 10lb - 14lb in a week is definitely not good for the body.

everyone is so fat these days i''m surprised they haven't made bigger seats on the rides. they'll have to some day.

lol do you really have no ability at self reflection at all? Nobody else was even trying to have an argument. You were making some very personal comments now cry when it's turned back on you! And you were the one accusing people of being snowflakes! Hilarious!

Let us know how you get on OP! Ignore the negative nellies, I think some posters are probs a bit grouchy and hungry as it's lunchtime - hangry is real!

I bet you'll have a fab time.

@smallstate. So what's your current weight?

SmallState

Has nobody ever told you how cringy you sound?
You’re embarrassing yourself.

I bet you don’t have many friends in real life either do you?
It’s because you tell it like it is and these precious snowflakes nowadays don’t get you. 🙄

You might find if you started being kinder to others then people might start to like you.
