Weight doesn't matter, if you fit, you ride. If you don't, you don't ride. With a few exceptions like Rollo Coaster, Flying Turns, and probably a few random others here and there.

Weight doesn't matter but body dimensions do. If you don't fit you don't fit. It's more about the restraint system (lap bar, over shoulder, over shoulder lap bar, etc) being able to contain you properly while still locking in securely. I see a lot more rides with test seats at the entrance now.
Could a little person be too short to ride a roller coaster? Yes.Their are height requirements. That's because the restraint systems that hold you in may not function if you are not tall enough.
There is no set age, but you tend not to see many people in their 60s and older on roller coasters. Even if you can it is probably not a good idea if your body is vulnerable to unnatural g-forces.
Riders may experience weightlessness at the tops of hills (negative g-forces) and feel heavy at the bottoms of hills (positive g-forces). This feeling is caused by the change in direction of the roller coaster. At the top of a roller coaster, the car goes from moving upward to flat to moving downward.
Universal Orlando Resort has put out an official guideline to keep in mind before you visit, that if your waistline meets or exceeds 40 inches, there are a few rides where accommodations might not be possible. With that being said, that is just a guideline!
People with high blood pressure and/or heart conditions are warned not to ride roller coasters because of the way they tax the cardiovascular system. The adrenaline rush that roller coasters give you causes a rapid spike in your heart rate and blood pressure.
First, there are those long walks just to get on the roller coasters, then when you go on the thrill ride they're a good workout for your hearts and lungs. Roller coasters are good for stress relief, fighting phobias, and clearing your sinuses.
The Disneyland Resort does not have any weight restrictions on any attraction; However, Guests must be able to fit in the restraints securely in order to ride ALL attractions.
Despite the convincing statement, this policy is NOT real; it is a satirical article published by the fake Disney news source, MouseTrapNews.com. Disney has never had any sort of weight limit on any Disney ride, and it's fair to assume that they will not add one in the future.
There's a saying in the world of engineering: “If it doesn't shake it's going to break.” Roller coaster structures are designed to sway a couple of inches as the train goes racing by, especially in tight corners and high g-force locations.
The truth is that most visits to the amusement park are full of thrills, fun and are statistically quite safe. However, some amusement park rides, and especially roller coasters, are a significant cause of neck and spine injuries. While these injuries don't make the nightly news, they can slow you down.
In a typical coaster design, the riders in the front car get an unobstructed view of all these obstacles whipping past them. In a coaster that has seats facing backward, the rear car offers the best of both worlds -- you get a great view and the most intense ride.
The middle seats have the weakest ride in terms of view and speed but they'll give you everything the seats in the front and the back do at just a little less intensity. A ride in the middle makes you feel less isolated. Try it if you're unsure about the very front or the very back.
