Wildfire has "butt off of your seat" airtime on the first drop. Your butt doesn't even touch the seat again until you reach the bottom of the hill, which feels really odd since your feet are dangling too. This was my first B&M sitdown looper, but I found the restraints to be very unrestrictive (is that a word? lol). Are they all not like this?
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was expecting before riding it because that's what I've always heard about B&M loopers. Thankfully, I was surprised. [:D] The OTSR locked in place about 4 inches from my lap everytime I rode it. I didn't appear to have any control over how the restraint was positioned, and the ride ops (one of which was a 60+ year old man) never attempted to press it down further. Was I just lucky? Also, is Wildfire the only sitdown looper that have these types of seats? They are almost like floorless trains, only there are actually floors (in other words, your feet dangle).
I'm goin with woodies b/c they're more exciting for less track. Steel coasters don't have the lattice supports and rarely have the kinds of head chops you find on woodies...
steel is the best to me. i dont mind the ocasional woodie tho.
as long as its not "Mean Streak" at cedar point. awe i hate that one. makes u feeling ur organs are being ripped apart. its the first ride i have ever wanted it to stop!
