Plus-Size Friendly Features:

1. Wide and Deep Seats: One of the standout features of Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind is the seat design. The seats are wide and deep, providing ample room for larger bodies. This design ensures that you can sit comfortably without feeling cramped, which is often a concern for plus-size visitors.

2. Comfortable Lap Bar: The lap bar on this ride is another plus-size friendly feature. It needs to pull down to secure you in the seat, but it doesn't have to go too far to lock in place. This means that even if you have a larger waist or thighs, the lap bar will still secure you comfortably without feeling too tight. The mechanism is designed to accommodate a range of body sizes, ensuring a safe and enjoyable ride for everyone.

3. Large, Comfortable Seats: The overall seat design is large and comfortable, making it a great fit for plus-size guests. The cushioning is supportive without being restrictive, allowing you to enjoy the ride without any discomfort. The seats are also designed to provide excellent back support, which is a big plus for longer rides.

4. Smooth Ride Experience: The ride itself is smooth and exhilarating. As an indoor roller coaster, it combines thrilling elements with stunning visual effects, creating an immersive experience. The smooth ride mechanics mean you can enjoy the excitement without the jarring or uncomfortable movements that some roller coasters have.
