In this vlog we try out most of Dollywood's test seats. Three different body types with visualization of how they fit (not just descriptions). It is not a one size fits all. There are a lot of factors going into these ride seats and we hope this helps. Gabe also decided to try out the face painting along the way. If you are plus size and want to see some examples of test seats attempts join us....

Our First Dollywood Visit of 2022

This is a very unplanned, thrown together at the last minute video. We had to use our phones because we didn't even have our camera equipment with us. When we saw the new parking system we wanted to share our experience with it and a few other clips from the day. Many apologies for the video quality and just general all over the place feel. #Dollywood2022

Did you guys end up fitting on Lightning Rod? I like this concept for a video a lot, it’s so hard to visualize fitting on a ride so having people of various sizes model it is very helpful! I think if you were to do reviews of other parks (maybe you have; I’ve only seen this video) you could include a little bit about how the rides you fit on felt comfort-wise. Nice video!
I went today with my husband & two adult daughters. I didn’t fit on any of the coasters, based on the tester seats. I’m glad they had those or my day would have been even more embarrassing. For context, I went to Walt Disney world with my daughter, last summer, and was able to go on every ride, including all the coasters, and Pandora Flight of Passage.
We’ve been going there for years. The ONLY thing my husband ever orders is the Shrimp and Grits!! The seasonal risotto is always delicious. We’ve never had dessert because the entrees are so generous.
Tellicafe is great food....
I wish ya'll would post again!
Sad because not everyone is thin it discriminates against fat people
Are you talking about the trolley
One thing that i wish you did was give everyone a push because, the ride operators do try to assist you within reason.
DONT BUY INTO THEIR SALES PITCH FOR A TIMESHARE OR TO BECOME OWNERS!!
Witch day did you go cause I thought I saw you there
Keto / carnivore.
only ride i got on was river rampage, and i still had to get a Velcro extender 😅
Did you have to pay separately for the waterpark? I just booked but they said it’s $34 for 2 people per day?
So sorry for the late reply. We were there on an owners account so the water park was included. I do believe the water park is an extra cost if not associated with an owners perks.
Thanks so much for this!
IM GOING THERE THIS YEAR 2024
We hope you have a blast.
I say this with all sincerity and wishes for the well being of you, your family, and our nation. Your obesity is killing you. Please focus on eating healthier foods and getting more excercise. You are not alone with this affliction, obviously. That is how you can show real body positively. Real self love.
@briancolw we appreciate your sincerity with your comment. This video is a couple of years old and we actually have lost some weight. Life has happened and we haven’t made any vlogs in a while however.
Thanks for posting the video! ❤
I love the grey flower deli it’s so good
No hotel name
Did they have any airsoft guns?
They did, but not a huge selection 🙂
@@hangingwiththebentons561 Oh ok that's fine! Thank you.
The room we had was much smaller, not as furnished, and not as clean...be warned if you are a family of four or three...
We have stayed in the smaller studios as well and I agree with you 100% on that.
@hangingwiththebentons561 so do you have to request a larger one or just hope you're lucky?
@showmewar3496 you can request your room size. The price does increase with each upgrade.
Thank you so much for your video!!
You’re very welcome ☺️
I didn’t fit test Thunderhead but I fit on the ride
Yay, that’s such a great coaster 🤗
It sucks, but the parks do not want to spend the extra money to engineer for larger people... this is one of the reasons I stick to knoebels, as someone who is 6'2" and 330 lbs I can ride everything, except the kiddie rides and kiddie coaster But after watching many of these videos I am thankful as you saved me a fortune... however I do know Tornado is a definite yes for e as it was made by Arrow Dynamics and they accordate some pretty beefy riders
I’m down some weight, approximately 50 pounds, since this video and can ride only a couple that I couldn’t in this video~Denise
Dude put the fork down, making every ride seat cavernous isn’t safe for the majority of people
Thanking you for posting my family is wanting to go but I'm afraid I won't fit so this helped a lot thank you! God Bless
You’re very welcome ☺️ it was definitely more where we carry our weight versus how much we actually weigh for sure. Glad it was helpful 🫶🏻
I can do rollercoasters but I cannot do the pirate ships or any back and forth rides. It does something to my body.
I am 5'9" 250lb with 40" waist, short legs, long torso and a lot of chest for a man. I can barely squeeze on Lightning Rod. The rows with the longer seatbelts are better, but ultimately it is a fight to get the restraint down on any row. I got my first back off on Mystery Mine. I have ridden it before, but on my most recent trip, I could not get the harness down enough on my chest. None of the other rides in the park are any issue for me.
I for sure think it’s how weight is carried for sure. I’ve lost some weight since this video and can ride a couple that I couldn’t then so hopefully by next season I can do more~Denise 😊
I'm way bigger than him and can ride thunderhead. So this isn't 100% accurate
I was so happy to find your video and had high hopes that more rides would have bench seats. As I suspected Dollywood didn't choose rides with larger guests in mind. We'll save our money and choose other venues this summer.
So glad it was helpful ☺️
Great video to show why the big price together in is not worth for so many! My daughter is in a wheelchair and no rides accommodate her at Dollywood!
Thank you for making this video. Very beautiful family. God bless.
Very helpful. We will be going in a couple weeks and I was worried about this. Thou I dont think I will fit all, this gives me an idea which ones I might!!
Thank you for doing this!
I’ll be dieting starting TODAY! It’s GREAT that they have test seats. Many parks don’t.
Me too Byron ! Me and my family will be there in June and we started eating better and exercising in January. This was such a nice video and really kick started my family. No way I’m going to spend the money to go here and not ride anything with my family! God bless.
I find this really sad. They really need to have at least 3 carts that can fit taller and bigger people...
Yes. I’m actually down about 40 pounds since this video came out and was able to do Fire chaser Express and saw a tall average weight man having lap bar issues. I can very snuggly fit on the extended seat for wild eagle now but it was too uncomfortable to actually ride it this go around. Mystery Mine was still a no as was Lightening Rod. Maybe next time 🤞🏻😊~Denise
@@hangingwiththebentons561 That is really sad cuz we are going there in June…. And I know I won’t be able to ride them…😢😢
Hi, the sleeve gastric is an option for us? have the same of you
16:47 That was my dad.
More amusement parks should have test seats not to mention airlines.
This was very helpful. The last time I was at an amusement park I didn’t see any tester seats. This is a really good idea.
Does anyone know if the trip is worth the money? Would love to take my wife here but it looks to be more of a family oriented (kids) place. Would anyone recommend it for a young couple ?
Ya I went there for my birthday with my family , it wasn’t that expensive and it’s a really good place for everyone they changed a lot of things . And there is this big red slide that was HUGE so yes, I heavily recommend it ! 😊
Thank you for sharing this information. I really appreciate it. We want to take the grand kids this year. This really helps.
Nice video! We are planning a trip soon...
Do they by chance have an arcade at this resort?
They did at one point but we didn’t notice it on this trip. They had moved things around some so maybe we just missed it.
I have all of these things too! I’m trying to find a diet/lifestyle change that will help. 🥺 It’s so hard! Thank you for your video!
Thank you for watching. It is definitely a hard process to navigate. Best of luck on your journey ❤️~Denise
My kid was just telling me that there would probably be several rides I wouldn’t fit on due to my chest. Very helpful video
So glad we could help 😊 I hope you have a great time~Denise
To me breakfast meals are all about the same.
They have been for us as well. This one was the exception for us 😊. ~Denise
Too many new people trying to do Gatlinburg reviews now. It's all ready covered.
We appreciate the feedback. With that said, people experience and perceive things differently. This is why you find so many accounts that cover the “same old stuff”. Our goal is to provide the viewers with our honest standpoint and personal experiences without any outside influences. In doing this, viewers can watch a variety of accounts covering the same topic and establish their own opinions and/or advise about potential outings. - David
Didn’t know there was a monopoly on it. I, for one, appreciated this review more than the others. I recommend you take a seat and make some of your own content rather than just criticizing others
Good video guys!
Thank you 😊 greatly appreciate you watching~Denise
All the best in your weight loss journey... you are not alone in this i totally understand your suffering since i am facing the exact same health issues, PCOS, insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, and was in your shoes with pregnancy issues and weight loss during pregnancy, and enormous weight gain after a year of delivery, same, none of the diets worked and I'm still trying
Thank you and I wish you the best as well. It’s definitely a difficult journey for sure. My endocrinologist recently started me on Ozempic and I am finally seeing some results, slowly, but that’s better than none ❤️. Thank you for watching~Denise 😊
Do you have an updated video on the rides that were missed?
Not yet..we have taken a break but will be heading back up soon so we can get that out in the next couple of weeks~Denise
I carry my weight in my hips and thighs, size 20/22 pant, and could ride the brand new Big Bear Mountain coaster. The attendants suggested crossing my ankles then sitting and it worked well.
