I honestly couldn't tell you exactly her weight or size of her clothes. I would guess her about about 215. She's 5'6" and she wasn't even close in the seat. She did get help from the ride op but it was like two inches too short. This was in the Red train.
I'm finding out (and I guess I should have told her) that the yellow train is sporting the longer seatbelts than any other train. I couldn't believe how much slack I had when riding in the yellow train compared to red (which I found have the shortest seatbelts) and blue.
Dragster on the otherhand wasn't a problem for her at all.
My mom has changed so much from last year. She has back problems that forced her to retire last year. She's less active now because of that, her back is deteriorating and its very tough for her to stand for a long period of time. We used the parent swap so that she didn't have to wait in line. I have no idea if she'll be able to do this next year because of how quickly this is happening. It sucks. She's only 49. All the money in the world couldn't fix her back either.

*hugs* Your poor Mom. :(
Thanks for the info. We're the same height then but she's 25 lbs or so thinner than me. That's why I was wondering. The test seat has been getting much closer to fitting but I know to not expect to ride MF until next year then.

The crazy part about this is that we've been complaining about this seatbelt thing for two seasons. The test seat seatbelt is longer than the belts on the actual ride. The seatbelts are also not consistent.
It's obvious that Cedar Point has chosen to ignore this problem because they KNOW about the problem yet won't acknowledge that there is a problem. So when your big name signature ride isn't satisfying your customers do you think they are going to come back?
There's a reason why CP's attendance figures aren't growing. This isn't THE one reason, but it certainly is one of quite a few reasons why they aren't.

Don't get me started on the stupid parking.
