Hi there,
  I was told that Wildfire had some seats for larger guests.  Anyone know if this is true, and if so, what rows?  Also, if it will help anyone, I am about a womans size 18-20, and can ride all the other rollar coasters except the kiddie one . Thanks!

It's true, that Wildfire does have a couple of seats that accommodate slightly larger guest. If I am not mistaken, those seats are identified by the two belt buckle harness verses the single belt buckle harness on all of the other seats.

I am sure someone will chime in soon on where these specific seats are located on the ride. :)

Thank you!  I posted this question on yaho answers and got nothing but haters. Your answer is appreciated  :)

I forgot to mention, there is a “test seat” just outside of the ride that uses the two belt buckle restraint. If a person can comfortably sit in that seat with the restraint down, then they definitely will fit on the ride.

I want to say this seat is available on rows three through five, but don't quote me!  ;)

Welcome to SDCFans.com! ;D

No haters here! We are all like one big loving Silver Dollar City family. :)

Thank you for the welcome!  On yahoo answers I was told that they didnt have seats for fat*sses, and to lose some weight, so, yeah, I dont think I will be posting anything there anymore!

You will not be able to ride the first row/two or the back row.  When you are in the que, just watch for the seats with the two buckles.  They will be the middle two seats.  If I remember correctly, they alternate each row.  Don't worry, if you get in one that doesn't fit, the ride operators are good about switching you with someone who has the larger seat and doesn't need it.  Have fun!  The ride is smooth as butter.  Powder Keg is my favorite ride there though.

psykoticpenguin

thank you!  i dont really care about where I ride, I just want to ride it.  I've lost a ton of weight over the last year, and I used to love riding rollar coasters, so I cant WAIT to get on it.  Powder Keg is pretty cool, but I think Fire in the Hole will always be my favorite, just because of all the memories from my youth! 

FireInTheHole

Yeah, overall as a park, FITH is and will be my all time fav ride there.  Thrill ride though has to be Powder Keg.  I love that take off and decent over the first hill.  Stick with the weight loss, because it sounds like you are doing great.  You will be in for a treat, because the Wildfire is the absolute smoothest rollercoaster I have ever been on.

Since you a new member, we also are tied in with a great motel on the west side of branson.  Rooms are only 40.00 per nite.  Several of us have been there this year alone. I personally have been staying there for almost 2 years now.

I like the larger seats on Wildfire, but I'm a woman's size 24 and can fit (somewhat snugly) in the other seats as well. So at your weight, I'd bet you'd sit comfortably in the non-special seats.

And congrats on losing weight! It's so tough to do when it's cheaper to eat unhealthily.

psykoticpenguin

Thanks!  Its definately easier to eat unhealthy, and alot cheaper too.  I've lost almost 70 lbs and thats one reason why I am so nervous about Wildfire.  I've had to do the WOS(Walk of Shame) way too many times, and I absolutely LOVE roller coasters and I cant wait to get on it

Nice user name psykoticpenguin. Sorry if I spelled it wrong.

psykoticpenguin

lol, thank you cocodane3.  its from my favorite cartoon, madagascar.  its where the lion tells the zebra the penguins are psykotic :)

StaceySue

I agree with Joy.  You should be able to sit just about anywhere on Wildfire.  One note--this is not the day for the push-up bra!    Sometimes my chest is a little snug.   ;)
