lap bar or shoulder restraints????

Aah, but even with those you have whiny-assed enthusiasts complaining that they "inhibit airtime". Personally, I disagree, but what do I know. I'm the type of person who claims to have felt airtime even in OTSRs (Talon, Fire Dragon, CPs-Corkscrew...)

--who likes the "hold on" idea. Hey! It works on the subway! :)

I'm gonna put my money on OTSRs for this one. CP, Intamin or both parties involved will want you snuggled in like a baby for the launch.

Hypersonic xlc has no otsrs nor does xcellerator or superman the escape or even Mr.freeze. There isn't a need. Why would anyone think they would? Give me a legitement reason to need them or what advantages they would have?

1. Each 'seat' would simply be a locking 3'x3'x7' chain link cage for each rider. It would give a lot of freedodm of movement, allow larger riders and keep the lines short.

Don't forget about a helmet for option #1.

Here is something to ponder. I worked on the force and I was told by one of my co workers that they used to for test rides go without lapbars and actually stand up and just hold on. So yes "Restraints, we dont need no stinkin restraints"

Too bad they can't let regular people like us do that! I would sign a waver if that's what it took!

After a while they started to crack down on it

As they should have, but it still sounds like tons of fun!

I dont know all that much about restraints and such but I do like the ones on the Millie as they lend to an open feeling that makes the ride thrilling!

I think they should have Butterfly restraints with open carts that would be cool..

Hypersonic, Xcelerator, Superman, and Mr.Freeze do noy travel 120mph!

"restraints? Where we're going, we don't need restraints"

or was it "roads?"

It looks like were going to be going into the future....or the past and back to the future because we will be going over 88 mph. ;)

So what? What difference does the top speed make? It's not like the riders are going to quantum tunnel through the lapbars at that speed...

Hey

I guess they would need some special restraint because for Daponda that goes 106 mph in japan they had to make special restraints or trains to prevent your legs from snapping off.

Prevent your legs from snapping off? I don't think so...
