Has anyone been to Hong Kond Disneyland? How are the size of the seats and restraints compared to CA? Wanted to hear some experiences before purchasing a park ticket.

I'm 5'11'', 340lbs, 3xl shirt, 44 waist.
 
RC Racer will not be possible as I am 6'3, 275 lbs and an XL in shirt size: I need to be stapled in the seat by the harness to fit. It has both a seat belt that attach to the shoulder restraint and a sensor that need to be tripped in order for the ride to start.

Found this picture online of the RC Racer car.

Space Mountain has a little less legroom than in California. The rest will be fine as Grizzly Mountain Runaway Cars has very accomodating restraints and lots of room.

Sorry for the dark picture, but its the best I could do when I tried shooting a picture of the Space Mountain rocket at Hong Kong Disneyland.

I had no problems. I'm 5'10?, 250 poundsish, a 2/3XL womens, with a belly more than width. In US terms, I definitely on the small side of Pooh-sized by Western standards but definitely qualify and by Asian standards (where I now live) I was honestly really surprised by my lack of issues. Things were less than comfortable and I might have had to suck in a bit for the click but was fine after (I think space mountain was leg room issues and RC was click issues). On some rides, I had to "situate myself" a little getting on and off, but it was mostly juggling the leg space with the largeish bag I was carrying and I never felt "rushed".

Since there's no dedicated Shanghai forum or thread (that I've seen), I will note here I had issues at TRON but was allowed to ride in a traditional roller-coaster-style car. I think it was less fun though it might have been clouded by my embarrassment, honestly. The CM didn't really try to work with me for the bikes, and I'm not convinced it was 100% impossible, just didn't have the chance to try properly. I plan on trying again in the fall.
