Head Rests

Has anyone noticed the headrests on the trains that aren't in the original computer rendering? Seems to me they'll be a big obstruction in the view since they appear to be solid, rather than open as in the Mean Streak, or Blue Streak.

You're forgetting that the back seat is elevated. In fact, the front seats (other than the pilot car) are the ones that have obstructed view and it has nothing to do with the headrests.

Incidentally, I suspect that the headrest has everything to do with the 45-degree lift hill. At least Millennium Force has a logical reason for having headrests, unlike at least two other Cedar Point coasters I can name.....

The headrests aren't solid at all. In fact, there's probably 8 to 10 inches between the top of the seat and the bottom of the headrest... far more "see through" than those nasty rubber dealies on Dave's favorite restraint system.

Trust me when I say there will be no issues regarding how much you can see. It's not Raptor, you know!
