    Thank you for actually showing us what you looked like in the seat and not talking for 20 minutes.
    I've watched like three others and they talk forever and didn't even really show themselves in the seats.
    Really appreciate the video. 🥰

      I tried a tester seat and a group of people laughed at me calling me a fat ass. They could at least put test seats in private isolation areas

    Thank you for this! My wife and I are locals but have been afraid of going to universal because we kept hearing how terrible a fit it was for larger guests. We have planned to try in three weeks while friends are in town. Thank you for helping reduce our anxiety!

    I learned a lot from watching the video. I never got on test seaters in the past but, now I am. I haven't been to any theme parks since my teenage years. I don't care about being embarrassed. I had to show my husband this video. My husband is 6'4 and 280 lbs. now we have a idea about how are going to fit on the rides. Thank you for sharing.
    I been reading some of the reviews its sometimes not about eating to much food. I am on a lot of medication that makes me gain weight which is unfortunate for me. Some people should never judge people. Thank you for sharing this video. You and your wife have a beautiful family.

    Great video really helpful. I've put on weight since lockdown and have been turned away from a few drop towers and felt snug on others I've usually been fine on. We have a trip planned for May 22 and I've been worried. I'm a UK 22 to 24 atm which is a US 18 to 20 so fingers crossed I should be OK to ride the rides. 🤞🏻

    My friend and I are 6.2 and 5.7 respectively. He's got a BIG belly at 250 and I'm rectangle shaped at 168. Our experiences in many rides at Universal ranged from OK to screamingly painful. Several rides had abrupt whiplash-type stops (Gringott's and Mummy). I can only sympathize with larger teddybear shaped guests. Ugh.
