I've seen this before too on raft slides, but do you guys think for Volcano Bay they'll have scales on body slides? If they do I understand it's for safety, but that'd seem pretty embarrassing to get to the top of a water slide after waited, be weighed by a stranger, and then having to do a walk of shame down the stairs in front of everyone. I mean, 250lbs isnt that heavy for a taller personThere's usually a square or colored shape you're told to stand in when you're next to go. The attendant looks at a weight readout or green light in some cases to make sure you pass. The square you stand on before the slide is the scale.
At Wet n Wild it was especially important for all multi person rides. If your group exceeds the total weight limit the attendant will swap out people with others in line to get the total under the correct weight.
I've only ever been turned away from the black hole myself. And technically we could've waited until single riders came so we could ride with them instead of each other, but we didn't feel like waiting.
It's common at all water parks, it's just not something you notice. Just looks like the floor, with seems hidden by a red square or design. But you'll see fine print in the ride restrictions at the entrance to each slide that says individual weight limit or total weight limit per raft.
