I look forward to experiencing how the new straps change the ride. Of course though, every hardcore fan of this ride really just wants it the way it originally was with not breaks on first drop. It made the 2nd hill have way more airtime moreso than just having a super intense blackout turn. The only complaint a few people had about the original Intimidator 305 was that you get karate chopped by the restraints. Most people had a who cares attitude since its intense and nothing wrong with a slight amount of pain, but now if thats completely gone I'd like to see how it is. Having the original 94mph Intimidator 305 back with padded straps would be a dream.
