^Would be fun to see a 5-point seatbelt as only restraint though.

They are doing a pull through. Heres a pic. You can see the mini train on top of the hill.

If you look at the webcam now its a bit further.

Because it's a B&M.

I don't really see the problem with the Inta OTSRs, I really liked them on iSpeed. Had plenty of room to move around inside them, and I really felt a sense of freedom/flying on the tophat.

Good point.

And as for the otsr's, they just killed on the thighs every time i rode maverick. And the straps are just fine, but the fact that there are no inversions on i305 makes them really annoying.

don't get too excited. The intamin otsr are a three part construction, see here, not the different coloured strap on the one in the middle

Image

and take a look at the closeup of the intimidator lap bar, note the point where the top part can be attached:

highest res shot of the train is here:

in other words, don't draw any conclusions just yet.

What the hell is the point of this arguement? They're building the ride, they're going to put whatever train-type they want on the ride, and you can't do anything to stop them! So what in the world is the point of this arguement, other than cheap gratification?

It's not an argument, it is a intense discussion between people who hope for things and people who take pleasure in taking that hope away.

They tie together the condoms they should have been using while banging their cousins into an elastic kind of belt. The pit crew does it WAY before the race because they need to study the best approach at constantly turning left because real racing is difficult.

Your all ungrateful yank bastards!
The OTSR's, if there are any, will not affect the airtime at all! You wont even know they are there, i suppose there's that about vulnerability but come on! If you look forward, you wont see them, and i think its cool when airtime makes your shoulders slam against the restraint (Stealth air hill gave me and gouldy bruises).
Coaster is looking absolutely awesome anyway, cant wait to see a POV in awful quality on youtube, but yeah, you guys worry about restraints. GAYS

Sorry to rain on your parade, but you jumped into conclusions there, and didn't think hard enough. Sorry folks:

You can clearly see there is also a belt strap in the restraints on Tornado as well.


I dont see those attached to the front of the red bar in the middle of the photo! That was my point! they attach to the front, but nothing's attached to the front. Im guessing the hole there is for the belt that isnt yet attached to the bar.

So you dont make ANY point by what your saying. Because the picture clearly shows that there is NO TYPE OF STRAP ATTACHED TO THE FRONT OF THE BAR!!!!


You want a clear photo of the belt strap attached?

Image

Here you go...

Yeah I wouldn't get too excited until we actually see the whole train. I can't think of a reason the park would advertise the ride as having OTSRs then not use them. They're not that bad anyway, just brace yourself for the fast transitions and hold on to the handles.

With the Strapped OTSR's you don't have you to brace for fast transitions. Since you will be kept in place. They are more restricting but with Intamin's fast transitions you'll probably need them.
