Say I want to wear a dress/skirt to the parks. Are there any rides where the harness would be hampered by a long dress? I’m remember a ride - maybe at Six Flags in Chicago, where the harness pulled down over your head and clipped in.
Oh. Maybe Soarin’ does it? Any others?
Doctor Doom’s harness is similar to Soarin’ IIRC.
VC also clips into the middle of the seat.
Just hike it up!
The one for Soarin’ is mostly for small riders, such as children, to keep them from slipping down and out. But since you posted in the Universal section, I assume you’re mainly interested in Universal?
That could be entertaining! I’m tall, and I was thinking about bringing a couple ankle-length dresses.
Actually both. We’ve been to Disney before, so I can kind of remember what’s there - except for the newest rides. We’ve never been to Universal, though, so that’s why I posted here.
DD wore a long-ish dress on our last UOR trip. She was fine on VC, even Dr. Doom. I didn’t ride that one and I located her on the ride by seeing her pink dress flapping lol. Nothing was showing…
This article has photos of all ride seating at WDW.
FOP and Tron have motorcycle-style seating, so you’d need a wider skirt or just hike it up. Or, on Tron, sit in one of the few non-motorcycle-style seats at the end of a “train.”
Hagrid’s doesn’t clip into the seat, but there is a bar kind of between your legs where it pushes the lap bar thingy into you.
I just did a google search, and it looks like VC is the same?
Those seem OK with a dress - as long as there’s no physical clip, I’d think it would be fine.
VC and Hagrid are a bit different.
VC comes down from above your head and meets with a bit sticking up in the middle of the seat. I see from the pic though that it’s not a clip, it just locks into place.
Hagrid’s comes at your lap from in front of you so a bar remains in the footwell.
If you can find a picture it will likely be easier to see. I don’t think I’m explaining it very well.
On both, if you wore a skirt it would get trapped in the within the grip of the harness.
I’ve hiked my calf length A-line skirt up for Hulk. For VC, I only needed to make sure it didn’t get caught while getting to my seat. No issues with the skirt for Hagrids.
You will be fine with a dress on VC. Nothing that clips between your legs (but your skit might blow up!). If you are riding the motorcycle on hagrids it could be a bit tricky and would require a hike up just to sit on it if the dress is not flowy enough
I am wearing a dress that has built-in shorts every day they were there. It was not a big deal in July. Then again, it does have shorts and I’m not the most modest.
I do the same with my shorter dresses/skirts! If I wear something short, it’s kind of a “whatever” to me. But I was looking at my clothes, thinking about packing, and realized my two favorite outfits are LONG dresses.
