Oh, sweet!!! I don't mean to sound stupid but those don't have OSTRs do they?

Also, can somebody change Myriad's avatar? it's taking up the entire screen.

Edit: More new pics

They need to get that mud off the rails now! It is making the ride look not shiny and new!

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.

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.

^ The renderings were said to be incorrect by the park itself at the media day.

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 do know that John Pagel even confirmed that the restrains will be straps to give the feel of a NASCAR right?

And I got this from either KDFansite or TPR, but I did read a confirmation.

Hmmm.... Ive read both entirely and dont remember that. And why did the other intimidator get your every day lap bar?

But if you say so then.... poop.....

that sucks.

But why arent their straps then? There obviously aren't straps!

Calm down slosprint! You have been on an emotional roller coaster (knee slapper!).

It would be great to have no OTSR's but I think they will have them.

Why the hell did they decide they had to put over shoulder restraints on the ride anyways. How come they couldnt put on normal sexy intamin trains like millie's with comfortable light t-bar restraints!?
