Plus size and worrying about upcoming Thorpe Park trip

I'm going to Thorpe Park tomorrow and I'm worried that I won't fit in some of the seats.

I haven't been for 10+ years when I was at my pre-child baby weight/size and I was a 12/14. I'm now just under 15st, size 16/18 (mainly 18) and 5ft 3in... (I need to lose weight, I know...)

Anyone of similar size been recently and been okay? I know they have seats out the front of most of the rides to check, I'm just trying to calm my anxiety a little.

Tia!

I am a size 16-18. I have been to Thorpe Park and Chessington in the last two years. Some of the seats are snug (eg when you go on one where there's a restraint than comes from the top because I carry my weight on my belly and breasts but I've never had an actual problem. You should be fine.

Do you use social media? There is a really good Facebook group, I cant remember exactly what it is called but some plus sized women talk about how they fit in different theme park rides and how they are for different body shapes. I think its called fat girls fit or something like that.

Have just come back from a few days at Thorpe park and at 5ft 3 and a solid size 18 I can say I had no problems fitting into any seats and we went on pretty much everything so don’t worry
