I can ride everything. The Vortex and the Bat are the 2 fat kid friendliest coasters there. On the major coasters and thrill rides, they have a tester seat set up at the front of the ride.

Due to rider restraint system requirements, guest of larger size (in terms of height, weight, and/or body proportions) may not be accommodated on some of our rides. Our larger guests may experience difficulty on: Banshee, Diamondback, Drop Tower & Flight of Fear.
It is a matter of size, not weight. If a person is too large to fit into the restraints, then they cannot ride. It depends on how a person is built. For example, a guy with a large chest may not be able to ride, but someone else that weighs more than him might.
It is very hard to sit on the 'available' rides, as the seats are VERY cramped. I had a difficult time sitting on the wooden coasters myself, and I'm fairly thin. A word to the wise: if you're a large person, be very wary about going to Kings Dominion, unless you enjoy sitting outside of the rides.
Children/Teens - Notice to Parents & GuardiansIn addition to our chaperone policy, we strongly recommend that minors (under 18) be accompanied by an adult. The park does not assume any responsibility or liability for unattended minors.
MASON, Ohio — Kings Island is implementing a chaperone policy following an uptick in “unruly and inappropriate behavior” the park said in a press release. Under this new policy, all guests ages 15 and younger must be accompanied by someone who is at least 21 years old.
Utah's S&S Worldwide, which makes roller coasters and drop towers, sets its restraints for a maximum weight of 300 pounds and equips its seatbelt locking mechanisms with no-go sensors that restrict over-sized riders.
Taller riders can have difficulty with enclosed ride cars if they don't have ample legroom. We know size-inclusive coasters that cater to a variety of body types are possible — they already exist.
Keep in mind there are no “weight restrictions” on any of Universal's theme-park attractions; instead, it comes down to how your unique body dimensions fit inside each ride's restraint system. Two people may weigh the same, but one will fit and the other will not — which is why the test seats are so important.
We recommend using a fanny pack on your trip to Kings Island! Based on our personal experience, fanny packs that fully close and DO NOT INTERFERE with roller coaster safety bars, are allowed on all rides.
With more weight, there is more force that is exerted on the track, increasing the likelihood of ride supports being damaged and needing to be replaced.
