After a 'humiliating' experience over the summer, Kirsty Bosely went back to the theme park to try out every ride
It's a well-known fact that being short can scupper a day of fun at the theme park. Signs displaying a 'you must be this tall to ride' warning are easy to spot at the entrances of the most exhilarating rollercoasters at Alton Towers.
Kirsty said the situation left her feeling "humiliated" and she actively avoided going on any rides that would see her strapped in for the rest of her trip. Fast forward a few weeks and Kirsty was back at Alton Towers to check out the park's annual Halloween event - and this time she was feeling brave.
Nemesis "With Nemesis shutting at the end of this season, I really wanted to ride it for one last time. But knowing it was an old ride, I did worry that perhaps I wouldn't fit my 47-inch chest into the over-shoulder harness . Galactica "Of all of the coasters I went on, Galactica was the most uncomfortable. I asked about bigger seats and was told that while some are bigger than others, 'it won't make much difference'. The staff member added that they'd 'do what they could', but the idea of another squash attempt made me cringe.
"'Sorry!' he added, as he pushed my bar down tightly. I was in though. My belly was very squashed in and while it wasn't painful, it was a little uncomfortable as the ride blasted around the track. "I got on absolutely fine and didn't feel squashed in at all - I had space to move, even. That, I could have done without as we went razzing round the track at mental speeds. I had to have a little break after that!"
