Raptor restraint

Did they adjust the restraint system on the raptor also? I weigh 250 lbs (the same as I weighed last time I went years ago) and I rode it just fine. I know I probably cant ride MF or TTD but the others are the same right?

Thanks

Should be the same.

I just barely fit in Raptor this year, and had no problem at the same weight last year.

Maybe your weight was "redistributed".

I actually thought that the Raptor restraints were a little easier to buckle this year.

When a B&M gets new restraints, the newer belts are much shorter than the older belts. I don't think that's the case with Raptor though. At Great Adventure, Batman got new restraints last year and I could barely get it buckled and had to have the op buckle it for me but on Medusa which uses the exact same type of restraint, I buckled it easily and had some slack in the belt.

I think they should add the larger restraints to Raptor many B&M inverts and floorless coasters have that way more people can be accomodated.

the restraints are made the size and lengh they are for a reason: s-a-f-e-t-y

Did anyone notice that the black part of the buckle release wasn't there? At least it wasn't on opening day. You could read the "For marine use only" writing on them.

Possibly borrowing parts from Mantis?

Yes, I noticed that as well. But, with a giant camera in my face, I was more concerned about something else regarding Raptor's appearance :( Still is great though.

I weigh about the same and I was able to ride both MF & TTD in '04. It was a little snug but I had no problems buckling in.
