Hey, it's my first post...

Regarding kenkid's statement, he does speak some logic. At the amusement park I work at, the majority of the coasters have a "two click" policy. As in, all lap bars for all seats must go down a minimum of two clicks. This means that larger guests don't always fit, which can often expose who is all SG. I've had a variety of unfriendly encounters with guests because they were too big to ride an attraction. Obviously though, a test seat is a better way to prevent these situations than a scale would be.


On the topic of traditional height checks, however, I had to deal with a full summer of them. The attraction I work, a mine train roller coaster with about the same intensity as BTMR, has an over-the-top height requirement of 48". Since the ride isn't big or intense, parents often consider it a "kiddie coaster" and think their 42" children will be able to ride. And, when we tell the parents that their child is too short... it's not too fun for us. I've had parents cuss me out, tell their children to cuss me out, scream at me and promise I'll be jobless by the end of the day. Which I guess does add some variety to the job :p:

Hmmmm,new marketing ploy. I seen 4pks,6pks 12,15,18 24, and 30 packs. I really don't think a 14 pack would fly too well. :(
Not sayin it aint worth a try though. ;)
btw ktulu,feel free to pick up the slack on the greetings from our BD Club,now that I'm not on the 'public dole' as my sister calls it.

There may be a bit of logic, but it is tenuous and a weight check would let people through that were too big and keep people small enough out. It is very hard to judge someone's weight by their size. I am a good example, people almost always guess from about 50-100 lbs less than I really weigh, nobody ever guesses over because everyone has been taught that my weight means I am giant, need two seats on planes or in movie theatres...you get the idea. I have had to walk off a ride because the lapbar didn't click twice, I don't think it was me that was too big, but my lighter brother who was sitting next to me, I still had some room, most likely enough for the second click(we could get one).

Anyway, greetings Time93, I am the resident dragon and would like to offer you a very warm* welcome to that slice of the internet we call SGT. This website contains threads with quick twists and turns and I would like to advise you to not try too hard to keep up with them. Please keep your hands, arms, and legs safely inside the website at all times and enjoy your stay.

*this instance of warm is actually hot**... very hot

**this instance of hot means that you are now literally on fire, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for any inconvenience

thanks for the welcome guys. been lurking for a few months after hearing about this site on site x. were avid disney freaks in our family and sadly i've seen a lot of sgt over the years and visits.

Always remember and don't ever forget...muscle weighs more then fat. It's an important distinction when you are attempting to prevent someone from riding strictly because of weight. It could hurt!
