I think we rode absolutely everything that was open...let's see if I remember:
MK - Splash, Big Thunder, Space (I always find that one to be a bit of a snug fit, but doable), Haunted Mansion, Pirates...did some of the "kids" rides...and you know, the only one I had any trouble with was Small World - since we were in the front of the boat there was no legroom, and since you sit low with your knees up, my knees really bothered me. I had to keep shifting and couldn't wait for it to be over. They had not opened the new Fanatasyland at that time, so I didn't get to try those out.
Hollywood Studios we did Tower of Terror (repeatedly - it's my favourite), Rock 'n Roller Coaster, Toy Story, Great Movie Ride... all with no problems.
Epcot we did Spaceship Earth and Soarin', and Mission Space (I "fit" but ended up REALLY claustrophobic!) - Test Track was closed.
Animal Kingdom - did Kilimanjaro, Everest, Dinosaur. Didn't do any of the "midway" type rides in the dino section, so I can't really speak to those.
The only size related concern I had was that my husband and I really couldn't ride much comfortably together- way to squished, and on a couple of rides where the restraint is a lap bar (rather than individual restraints) I felt that my bulk was leaving my daughter to fly around in the big space between her and the lap bar. Fortunately she is 12, and the rides where that is the case aren't too bad - things like Big Thunder. My current dream is to lose the weight and go back to Orlando (or Anaheim, for that matter) and finally experience all the great attractions at Universal that I always miss out on. Worst part is that I'm too embarrassed to try the test restraints, so I just skip anything I'm not dead sure of. And missing out on Forbidden Journey really hurts. I carry my weight (well, everywhere - lets face it, I was over 300 pounds) but particularly in my hips and butt. From everything I read, I don't think THAT one would have worked out at all.
