Amusement Parks and "Guests of Size"
Three years ago my hubby and I went to Adventureland in Des Moines for a company picnic. We were having the best time together riding rides and hanging out. We waited forever in line for this one ride and when we finally got seated the operated said that some riders weren't properly restrained. He came over to me and my hubby and us trying to contort ourselves into a variety of almost yoga-like positions trying to get us latched. It was the kind that had the bars that come down over your head (reminds me of a bib). Anyways, mine and his would not latch for anything. I was probably about 230 lbs. at the time and my hubby is 6'1", about 250 lbs with broad shoulders. We both ended up voluntarily getting off so the rest of the people wouldn't have to wait. I was immediately depressed and both of us were no longer in the mood to ride rides. So we left. I can't wait til this summer when we can go and I can ride whatever I want and not have to worry about fitting into seats!
