On subject, i do in fact like those restraints, one of the reasons being on Stealth, hitting the air hill as amazing, lifts you and slams your shoulders against them fxcking hard. Makes the air feel so much more powerful, gouldy will back me up in saying it leaves bruises on your shoulders, and that is a good thing! The vulnerabilty is only decreased slightly, i bet you can barely notice they are there. Stop being so ungreatful!

On that category those restraints are awesome yeah. But on those fast intamin transitions. They are no good and bring bruises to the neck... With those seatbelt straps you'll still feel the floater and ejector airtime, but then with the comfort of not slamming your neck in those fast transitions...

Fair point, i guess it would be rather cool having straps fitted to your chest. Poor boobies though.

Well they finally got a good close pic of the restraints and they are the otsr's but there are things that look like pad type things so mabey the head banging won't be as bad as we think.http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak ... 1621_n.jpg

I love the supersize seat, but they shouldn't get the back row like a treat for being obese. Give them a 2nd or 3rd row seat IMO.

Restraint's dont look any different from the usual apart from that slight lip. Wont do anything even if there was any head-banging, still bloody hurt! But the coaster doesn't look like it will deliver a rough ride anyway.
Yeah well spotted^, XXXL seat on the back row!? NOT FAIR. Unless i was fat, would be awwweesome.

^Guys, I am pretty sure you'll still be able to sit in the "larger seat" if you want. There may be more room for a better ride, you never know.

Fatties ruin everything and strike again!

Oh I know that we could use this seat and also agree that it would/could be a better ride experiance, but my issue is that it would be defaulted to larger people rather than those among us that enjoy the backseat ride.

Hang on, what are you guys talking about? Clearly the seat is exactly the same as all the others, is it not? As is the restraint. The only difference is the padding on that dummy in particular, and the restraint isn't locked down as far as the others.

But the seat literally is exactly the same as the others, looking at that picture.

You're all a bunch of pussies!
iSpeed has exactly the same restraints (even the colour), in combination with insanely fast transitions and laterals...
And I loved it!

That picture is so amazing. I rofl.

Here is a teaser vid with shots of a real pov!

Here is the link to the video

Hmmm, kinda looks like floater on those hills.

Doesn't look like floater over that first hill, that'll have you out of your seat for sure. To me, this ride is more about those quick transitions than having crazy strong airtime. Still, the airtime looks pretty solid just from that video, I'd say semi-ejector.

It already rattles?

No, Probably just a loosely attached camera.

Because your looking at the front. In the front, you get the airtime in the beginning of the hill rather than the top and the end like the back does. So, people don't look at the beginning for airtime. I go with what guitar player said, "semi-ejector air."

No, it's the Gforces warping the image that make it looks hundreds of times worse than it actually is. But of course it's going to vibrate a little bit, it's a multi-ton train careening along a steel track at 90 mph...

Eh, let's just ride it, then say what it has. I forgot video is misleading.

Trust me, there will be ejector airtime there. No way floater can exist with that radius, height, and speed. Looks to me like a slow transition to the normal force of the given slope, then a medium fast transition to strong airtime all the way over. There's more than a 150' difference between the lift apex and first hill, with only that first turn to slow it down lol...it'll be sick.

Can anybody say-

Wahoo!

Wow that ride paced better than I thought it would!

Here's a forward and reverse pov from TPR:

Looks damn sick to me. Steady air on that first hill looks great, from the above video.

Trim Brakes!!! [:O]

Anyone else notice that the lift hill isn't straight. -1 Tech point




Look at the dip in the middle of that badboy!
