Altair at Cinecitta World has a cable lift?!?!?
And it's an Intamin Looper with lapbars; my world is complete.

Very nice, looks like a fun coaster!
But they look like OTS harnesses if you look at the train near the end of the video.

The harness comes down like an OTSR but the only restraint is on the lap.

Oh ok I see, it really only restraints your lap, and then you arms can move freely. Thank god.
