That ride is torture. But all I can think about when I hear that ride is:

'Duff beer for me;
Duff beer for you.
I'll have a Duff,
You have one too.'

/I am the lizard queen!

I'm struggling with this one. Is it irony?

You're too big for a Small World. That's expected. It would be ironical if you're too big for a Big World--then there would be a contradiction between the true and ostensible meaning.

I'm open to the possibility this is irony, but I just don't see it.

No cameras?

This could be the next mile high club.

195lbs haha suck it fatties!!

Irony police! reow reow reow!

160

But I'm 5'8", and am looking to get down to 150

le mew: No cameras?

This could be the next mile high club.

Next?

I got stuck behind a fatty boat once. It was obvious the boat was sitting lower in the water than any of the five boats stuck behind it. There were at least two people in each row who could be considered obese. I always wondered what the ride operator was thinking, but it made for a good snicker as a random chunky family was chosen and escorted off their boat.

I've seen this firsthand. It happens on Pirates of the Caribbean too, but I doubt Disney's going to shut down its flagship attraction for 10 months to make the canal deeper. I hear wide loads are making it difficult to get comfortable on the new Finding Nemo ride, as the subs they use are the same ones from the old Submarine Voyage ride.

But if you think about it... You're too big for a small world. A small world would imply that the inhabitants are also small. So there's the irony! Or something along those lines.

It's amusing nonetheless.

Uhmm.. yeah, fark Disneyland, my ideal weight is 220.. of course I'm 6'4".. and that would be weirdly thin given my body type.. when I was 235 I figured I could have lost another 5-10 pounds tops.. but I work out.. now.. yeah.. pushing 300, but that sounds way worse than it looks.

Did anyone seriously read that article?

ChicagoJohn: Did anyone seriously read that article?

yeah, the best line was Meanwhile, there is a long line of boats stuck inside the ride whose riders having nothing to do but learn the lyrics to that catchy little earworm of a theme song.

That used to be "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", another old Disney movie.

It sounds pretty bad.

I use this handy reference. 6'2, 235lbs, when Arnold won his last Mr Olympia.

When you are pushing into the mid 200s, you are either obese, or a solid juggernaut of steroid-enhanced muscle-upon-muscle.

take your pick.

Actually, the one at Disneyland was just called Submarine Voyage. The one at the Magic Kingdom at WDW was called 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

That post, combined with your nick, made me glad I didn't call it an early night.

nativefloridian: catchy little earworm of a theme song.

/Agreed!

We used to sing "It's a lame ride after all..."

Fatty thread!! Lose some weight you Pizza Hut eating leviathans!!! You cost me millions in insurance and other costs every year!!! You should be stoned in a public square!!!

Actually, it is proof that it is not a small world after all.

Fat guy in a little boat

Does this Magic Mountain make my ass look fat?

I'm glad I could fit in that ride...okay, not really, I don't care for Disney. I see why Disney would want to remodel to accommodate fat people. I would imagine most of Disney's customers aren't the "Live life to the fullest" type who engage in vigorous physical activity.

It's a shame "The Meme That Must Not Be Named" died out.

I haven't looked at a scale in months, but I'm not planning to go to the crappiest place on Earth anyway. Disney can SUCK IT.

ChicagoJohn: That post, combined with your nick, made me glad I didn't call it an early night.

It's nice to know I'm appreciated.

that was one of the most painful "articles" i've ever read

There is about as much likely hood that any ride in any Disney park or attraction doesn't have cameras as my anus has of falling off.

Exactly.

I did a quick Wikipedia search for Lou Ferrigno, who is bigger than Arnold, and it stated that "At his peak, the 6 ft 5 in Ferrigno's contest weight was 285 lb."

Sister of Robeph the Rainbow Girl: "The Meme That Must Not Be Named"

Which is the meme that must not be named?

and they STILL won't put in cameras?

crazy.

i remember being on a twin engine flight. the plane had 17 seats. the captain decided that the plane was two souls too heavy.

lady from the ticket counter walked out to the plane and offered us all a seat on the next flight, plus a free round trip. a fat girl waddled off the flight. the ticket agent told us that she still needed another person. the captain yelled back "no you don't! we're good to go!"

after the door closed, we all had a good laugh.

I think I'm Disney'd out for the rest of my life. Worked there for years.

And yeah, you're right about the "Disney visitors aren't exactly the live life to the fullest" types. They're really more of the "let's rent a motorized cart" types. To honest it is a lot of walking for people who consider grocery shopping exhausting.

It's all downhill if you're rolling your fat ass around on a cart. You're never gonna get the weight off now!

A lot of those Disney rides, if you're 6 foot or more, are downright painful.

The Primeval Whirl at Animal Kingdom comes to mind -- oh my farking knee is hurting just thinking about it.

skinink

Does this Magic Mountain make my ass look fat?

You, sir, are one funny bastard.

That said, if you're fat-assness is farking up other people's lives and not merely your own, go on a farking diet, stay out of public, and don't dare complain when your fat ass can't be accomodated.

/sitting next to obnoxious, smelly, un-jolly fat-asses on airplanes has left me bitter and jaded
//unobnoxious, jolly, non-smelly fat-asses are cool by me

Those fat farking fatty fat farks should be ferried from the deep-fat fryer straight to the farking fat fark rendering plant.

It's getting to the point that a normal-sized person is the proverbial hotdawg down the fat farker hallway.

Fat farking bastards. Stop eating the children.

The bobsleds on the Matterhorn are hard on the knees as well. The track on that thing is so herky-jerky; that's a ride they should be rehabbing.

Just the idea of getting stuck in It's a small World because of a fatty jam immediately raised my blood pressure. It's infinitely more infuriating than having follow behind them in a grocery isle when they drive the fatty scooters right down the farking center of the lane.

Heh, I was at Disneyworld last week and rode Small World twice (what can I say, it's my favorite ride, and my 3 year old loves it too).

Anyway, while my family was being loaded on the ride, I watched a 400 lb woman in a scooter waiting to get on the next wheelchair barge (they have a Ro-Ro barge for the handicapped). And I have to say, not that there aren't numerous watershed moments in the life of a morbidly obese person, but one of them should be when the guy at the scooter rental tells you that you'll need the heavy duty model because the regular one can't carry your fat ass.

Anyway, another observation: there were a TON of people on scooters, many of them not looking particularly old or injured. Now, many of them I'm sure have some sort of malady that isn't obvious and they don't have the stamina, but I'm quite convinced that there is a startling number of lazy people who are riding scooters. There are so many more scooters around than I remember the last time I was at Disney World 3 years ago.

/80 dolls yelling "small girl after all"

You're a fat ass after all
You're a fat ass after all
You're a fat ass after all
Your a fat fat ass.

Some of that weight is from being taller (just not close to all of it.) Yes, if I was in Japan, I could be whaled and the DMV requires that I beep when backing up.

That's not ironic.

I live near disneyland, and went there a few months ago. I was aghast at the fattage. I seriously could not believe the big fat butts walking by, one after another. Tight black leggings stretched beyond their limits such that the pale midwestern flesh showed thru... arms that could suffocate someone from across the room... and their fat little kids! omg! Their kids weighed more than I do, easily. (5'2" 100 lbs on a fat jeans day)

And not a one of them lacked a slurpee/cotton candy/ice cream/caramel corn/giant lollipop/salted pretzel. They were preparing for the long famine walking between food vendors, I think.

I'm calling bullshiat on Freeballin. But, Dbaggins, Arnold was on juice too.

Gunter Schlierkamp is nearly the heaviest bodybuilder in the world. In 2005 his contest weight was 310-/+, and off season of 330+/- . Unless Freeballin is Gunter or possibly Ronnie Colemean or some other "unknown" bodybuilder freak that is in the top 5% of BBers, then he's full of shiat.
