Harry Potter Ride Not For Portly

Jun - 29 2010 | Lisa Stauber | no comments

Harry Potter now has his own Universal theme park in Orlando, and there are some rules that have been generating controversy.  In the interest of safety, rides such as Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey require that safety bars and harnesses fit around passengers, and the bars must click three times.  That’s not a problem for the average rider, but some big guys are getting turned away from rides.

Banks Lee was turned away, but he’s making lemonade out of his lemons.  Standing at 6’2″ and over 300 pounds, Banks is determined to ride Forbidden Journey and has, of course, started a blog about it.   What else is an aggrieved citizen to do in 2010?  Banks Lee and the Three Clicks: My Journey to Fit on an Enchanted Bench will chronicle Banks lifestyle changes as he hopefull loses enough inches to fit on the ride.

Have you been to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter?  Were you able to ride all of the rides?
