I live ~45 minutes away from the best amusement park on the face of the planet (Cedar Point!!), and I had a really embarrassing experience the first time I tried to fit onto the best roller coaster there... Which was also the last time. I had a season pass there for a couple years, and I never once got to go on the 2 very best rides, because I couldn't fit on them. :( I still have a long way to go, but I'm sure I'd fit now, and I really want to go back and FINALLY conquer those coasters!!
