Well, you know what they say.

Big shoes...

FYI, I wear size 15 EEEE shoes.

I've met you once, so I know you are pretty tall, but do you think an average 6 foot guy like myself would have the same issues?

And, I know you are wondering. I'm average there as well.

I don't know. I was with my friend who is probably around 5'10" and he was able to ride it without injury.

From what I understand it's mostly linebackers and above that are affected. Still sucks majorly though.

I'm 5' 9" ish and was uncomfortable. I have long legs, tho. I felt like I was going to fly out of the bobsled. Also, getting out of the bobsled now is way harder than getting in.

Sounds a lot like the current Space Mountain vehicles here in Orlando. Me getting into or out of one of those makes for real pratfall material. Ugh. I dread my next trip to the much-loved Matterhorn.

Correction: Less-loved Matterhorn.

I was surprised to fit somewhat comfortably in the new Matterhorn seats. Know what's less-than-graceful for me? Half of the back seat of Splash. I can get in, but I could use a shoehorn getting out.

Yes, very similar, although the Matterhorn has seat belts instead of lap bars. Getting out of those things always involves me making strange noises.
