You will be thrown around a bit. Like stated above you can control your speed. I would add if you are going to be breaking most of the way down the mountain I would make sure the person behind you doesn't mind going slow. It could potentially ruin someone else's time. Have fun! We loved it

I see the weight limits are 375 and 330 according to weather, but are the cars and belts made to accommodate big people? I know a lot of rides are too small or the belts or bars will not fit larger people.

jewel peters | Sep 10, 2022

If I remember correctly, the weight limit for the car is 400 pounds. I think that number changes depending on if the track is wet or dry. I think the minimum height requirement to ride alone was 56 inches. Both of my kids (11 & 13) were able to ride alone.
