I'm going to cedar point in the middle of august and i'm worried about a couple of thing

First thing i'm 6 foot 250 pound, most of it is in my thigh and shoulder with alittle beer belly, hey i'm canadian..Will i fit in?
Two years ago i've went to disney. i was about 230-240 and had no problem

Second thing, we're the best place to stay thats is not too expensive, i'm from quebec so a lot of the budget goes in fuel, i saw hotel breaker end breaker express

Finally whats the best day of the week, i was leaning for tuesday or wednesday

Thanks all

your measurements are close to mine. You should be able to get on everything, but millenium force and TTD might be closed. I am going soon, and I'm trying to lose a few before I go. Breakers Express would be a good choice. You will get into the park 1 hour early.

You have height going for you. I am 5/3 and weigh the same. They love love those seatbelts so I didn't even try Top Thrill or Millinium force. I had no problem on Magnem xl, disaster transport, gemeni, mine ride and iron dragon. I did not fit on Mean streak because the belt was too short. I would recommend riding with someone smaller so the two person belt on rides like gemini will fit. It is frustrating for me as I love rides but that's the way it goes. Where to stay? We just stayed at a comfort in suites about 15 minutes away and a shuttle comes for you at the door every hour. It was just fine. Wear good shoes.. I am still nursing blisters from last month! Have fun!

OH,, Maverek was no problem either for me... just try the test seat before you wait in about a 2 hour line for that one

Breakers express is cheaper and still a nice place too. The only rides you may have an issue on are Millennium Force and Dragster. They have test seats in front of the queue to try before you get in line. MF is the biggest issue for the big guys.

Either one of those days are the best days to avoid the crowds.

I am 275lbs. 5'7" I fit on MF. I lifted my belly and slid the belt underneath to fit. The test seat is a little tighter than the actual coaster. TTD was a tight fit as well, but again, I fit. if you lift your belly then you get more room in the belts. I had about 2 - 2 1/2 inches of belt left over. BTW, your height helps with the stomach issue. but, it may hurt you on some coasters with the lap bar.
