Creator's Key Takeaways

We did not fit in the test seat, but we did fit on the ride. So, and the entire little cart cheered.

It was a great ride. It was tight. It was tight. But if you're around my size, you should be good to go.

There is a reason I constantly say go ahead and test the actual ride if it's close because we fit.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Test the actual ride if you are close to the limit, as test seats may be more restrictive than the ride itself.

Fitting into ride restraints/test seatsDon't be discouraged if you don't fit the test seat; try the actual ride if you are close to the limit.

This coaster launches you up to ~45 mph around the Isle of Berk​, but how does it handle a 350 lb Viking like me? In this review, I’ll walk you through my experience from queue to final brake run. I cover the seat size and restraint (a lap bar in a winged coaster seat – fortunately quite roomy for my thighs and belly) and how secure I felt during those twists above Berk’s lagoon. You’ll see if I fit into the seat and get my reaction to the two launches and that splash effect when the coaster skims the water​. I also discuss rider spacing – this ride’s story has us in glider contraptions built by Hiccup, and I noticed the vehicles have individual seats that seemed to accommodate different body sizes well. Was it a comfortable ride or did I feel squeezed by dragon wings? I share some fat-tested tips for fellow plus-size dragon riders, like where to sit for the smoothest experience. By the end, I’ll rate Hiccup’s Wing Gliders on our fat-friendliness scale. Saddle up and let’s see if this dragon coaster is truly for everyone! 🎢🐲 Epic Guide: https://epic.fattestedtravel.com/epic Travel Intake Form: https://forms.gle/hqahEhNhy7y5bs8T6 Email: info@fattestedtravel.com
