Lap Bar

2) The buckle needs to be fixed in position so that the belt may be fastened with only one hand

or

3) The outboard end of the belt needs to be made longer so that the buckle fastens in front of the rider instead of down on the outboard side, making the buckle easily accessible to both hands.

Right on Dave. I have been complaining about this for sooooooo long on so many other rides that I am almost out of breath. This one just takes the cake. I can tell definately by the way the seatbelts fit that they are the exact same length as MF - not longer. I do not think the seats are as comfortable as MF's though. MF's seem to have more butt/seat room and TTD seats more closely resemble the feel of the fit of WT seats.

They can staple all they want. It doesn't reduce the airtime at all.

Absolutely. I have never been more stapled in my life almost to the point of having my breathing restricted and uncomfortable, but it was still airtime city at the top. :)

My belt was twisted and jammed where it pulls through to tighten, so the ride op had to help me "unjam" it. Lap bar was pushed down very tightly, but not uncomfortably. The hubby, at 6'4.5 and 240 lbs (40 pounds lighter than last year) fit okay...he didn't think there was as much leg room as MF.

We were in 3-1 and even tightly restrained, I felt the airtime. But that ride is so darned fast we didn't have much time to "look around". I only had enough time to see how small MF looked before we were diving toward the ground.

Launch literally took my breath away. Loved the ride and the sensations it offered. Intense and unique. Not something we'd wait 2 hours for again. We got in early from the Magnum entrance with our JCC and still had a ton of people in line ahead of us...ostensibly from VIP and Pepsi.

Launches were sporadic the first 20 minutes, then picked up quite a bit.

It would have been nice to get a warning before the lapbar was stapled into me. My friend at least got a warning from his ride op. Maybe they should be required to say "are you ready?" or something to that effect. It would cut down on the surprise because you can get yourself ready for some pain.

Robby, I was worried about the same thing but had no problem fitting into Dragster. I wish I would have known they let people out to pee. By the time we got to the station, both me and my girlfriend had to go. I was in the ride just fine when the op came by and slammed the lapbar into me (agreed it didn't hurt the way the MF lapbar would've but it didn't help the fact that I really had to go) and I was like, "thats not necessary." She just smiled and laughed at me.

Honest truth told to me by marina gate readmissions host:

Host: Hand stamped, two cents.

Me: That's cool, I think I have two cents.

Host: I better not take it, by the time you leave here its all you'll have.
