I barely even notice anyone outside my group which is bad in its own way but when I have so many people to keep track off my mind is on those people

There are too many safety protocols. I wonder if they had redone the ride to accommidate any size rider. I understand this is what happened with the Stinger. As was mentioned in the earlier post it did have a weight limit when it first opened but they removed it. I don't think there is a need for a per person limit so much unless it will keep the rider from being safe. I love the talk about sinking the Pirate boats. That is hilarious! One ride that I enjoy riding with people heavier than me is Grizzly River Run. The heaviest side always go down the falls first and gets the wettest. I don't mind the dunk after a day in the heat but I do enjoy looking around at potential co-riders to conspire as to which ones would keep me the driest
