Harry Potter Theme Park Supersizes Rides

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday September 15, 2010 @03:35AM from the butterbeer-belly dept.

Universal Orlando isn't saying the guests on their Harry Potter rides are fatter than the usual amusement park visitor, but they are enlarging seats and restraints on the rides. The park has heard numerous complaints from guests too big to squeeze into some of the most popular rides. They have only adjusted a few rides for the extra tonnage so far but plan on updating them all soon.

Larger seats will dictate fewer seats, which mean longer lines. Yet another reason to stick with Six Flags.

This just in: America is getting fatter, with no signs of slimming down.
