Personally I won't ride any ride that gets me wet, I end up getting hives, and walking funny.

Rollercoaster: Because my legs are long, my knees are just jammed into the seatback in front of me, it feels like a pack of gnomes is beating on my

I would Suggest with Roller Coaster, sitting in the Second or Third Rows in a Car and putting your Feet Under the Bench in front of you. That creates more leg room. 
As for Catapult, I say save your money and just ride The Rocket.
The Bat doesn't give you any Head Banging just Spinal Compression?
I would love to be able to put my feet like that, unfortunately size 15 quadruple E's don't fit. :-\ You should see ow slowly and carefully I place my feet in those tiny little footwells on the Spider, I am sure the ride attendants think I am the slowest thing this side of a ride queue at Magic Mountain on The 4th of July!
I forgot about the head banging aspect of The Bat. The very worst 'coaster that I ever had the misfortune to ride was the short-lived Wind-Jammer at Knott's Berry Farm. A concussion was not out of the question on that hideously evil instrument of torture!

That is why Togo Coasters like Wind Jammer and "The Roller Coaster" at New York New York Hotel and Casino are called TOGO DEATH MACHINES!

Sadly I cannot do most of the rides at Lagoon because of my size. Those who have been at the park gatherings will notice I shy away from riding things. It's not that I don't want to ride stuff, it's that I can't.
There is one ride that I won't do and I know I'm going to get some flack for this but it's Merry-Go-Round. I don't recall too much of what makes me avoid that ride but it has something to do with a traumatic experience centered around the spinning carrier on the ride that occurred to me when I was young.

Haha I can relate - I only wear 13's and I have to lock my feet in while still standing on that thing.

I would never ride Rock-O-Plane in a million years. Just looking at it makes me nauseous.
I'll probably never do Wicked. That first hill is just too high.
I don't like the looks of Samurai. That one freaks me out a little.
I've never ridden Tidal Wave since an incident when I was younger, but I might give that another try now that my bravery is rising a bit.
I can't look The Rocket in the eye.
I bury my face away when I pass the Catapult and sometimes pee a little.

I hope this not too off topic but another 'coaster I had the misfortune to ride was the VERY short lived "double/racing" coaster at Legoland California called the "Spellbreaker" After riding it I called it the "Ballbreaker" because, trust me this thing was EXTREMELY un-male friendly! :o

There's a reason Caripro went out of business, but it wasn't the "ball breaking" that did them in. These Coasters were/are Maintenance Nightmares and Set Point in Logan had to Complete their "Batflyer" Coaster at Islands of Adventure. I believe Premier Rides of Maryland now owns all of Caripro's Intellectual Property and Portfolio as it does Togo's.
