Really? I thought that was more Indiana Jones, that has the least leg room yet, also you have to do a running jump into the cars they are that low down!

I think? The whole ride was made by Intamin.

Perhaps they just made the origional 8 seat trains!

Come to think of it. I think that when you sit in the Indy cars your head is just above the platform level. So yah thats lower than most.

The restaints are terrible too!

They are so bad that they have left messages in the queue saying

"May not fit all shapes"

Indy is made by Intamin.

Here is a picture of the station showing how low you are.

Indy is also pretty loud for a small coaster like that. It really roars in the loop.

I know it made me jump out of my skin the first time I rode in queue when it goes through the loop!

It is quite frightening for first timers in the queue!

See more about it (If you can be bothered)

It's kinda weird how this topic has morphed from best looking trains to comfort and ride atmosphere.

there is already a coaster boomerang with the new trains, let see if i can dig it up

Why did Intamin build a ride with the same layout as a pinfari looper? I have never understood this. And if you dont believe me, i have proof. Check out my ride crazy loop in the exchange, it was my first looping coaster ever, and was made by pinfari. It has the same layout as Indy. Look:

It used to be at my local theme park. But then was taken down and replaced by a Huss Frisbee called pendulus.

Wow, the layouts are exactly the same. Only Intamin banked their turns more.

Yeah and the drops are a little steeper!

Although I think the track on Indie gives a mini little bit more smoothness.
