So, my costume is rather large (ever played bioshock? Curse you Big Daddy!) and I was wondering if someone knew of how large doorways are? My costume is safe and without potential hazards, I was just wondering what doors I might want to head for so I can fit. ^^;

The main doors are the only over sized doors in the hotel, otherwise they are about the size of regular doors in a home give or take 6 inches.

So that you have an actual number to go off of, doors in public areas of public places have to be wide enough to comply with ADA which requires at least 32" clearance. The doors in your house can be smaller, mine are only 30".


Edit: I hope it's okay that I answered, I saw it linked off of the main page and didn't realize where it was in the IRT section until after I posted.

No problem, you got it right. 32" is the minimum required.
