Its a great ride isnt it? Wish you could have got more than 3 rides in..... I agree that it may be embarrassing to try the test seat if some people are "larger", but think of it like this, would you rather sit in the test seat and make sure you can fit on the ride, or would you rather wait in the line for 20min and get on the ride, have to have a ride op try to jump on the lap bar to get it to lock, several times, just to find out, that you cant fit? Which would be more embarassing? I understand completely what you mean, and I am sure for the ride ops they didnt want to ask anymore than your mom wanted to be asked, but I can asure you the intimidator crew was doing it because they actually care. I have seen at least 4 people (including a guy that was with a friend of mine) not be able to ride because the bars wouldnt close. The reason for the test seat is to make sure people fit properly, and some people with wider thighs cant fit just because of the way the seats are made. Anyway, glad you enjoyed your ride. I really shoulda went to the park today but I decided to stay home.
