Lets face it it looks more like worm holes on a piece of lettuce than roller coasters. -

If you got out of Knott's to take a break and walked to Adventure City. -

I really get a feeling it will be Mack's version of Euro Fighter/Infinity Coaster. -
I was at the park today, TC never dueled except for a test ride I saw in the morning. Three train operation the whole day but operation is painfully slow that there's double stacking for a few times. Did anyone notice that YOLO's track connecting points are getting pretty rough? Track itself is incredibly smooth but the connecting points are very noticible and the train shuffles around them, the right turn after the loop especially.

I wouldn't want to make the caps so tight that even 5G's can't pull it down. Plus it's a lot of effort for guests to pull the "heavy" ones down, operators will need to help the guests which cuts down the capacity. Not to mention "heavy" lap bars also move slower than "lighter" lap bars that leads to lower capacity too. Double-acting cylinders can help but those are way more expensive, heavier and take up a lot of extra space. Most people are just talking about Skyrush, which is a ride that's already open. Hopefully you're right and Flying Aces will be better. Why don't you explain exactly what you're seeing in that picture that makes you so sure they've made improvements? The part at the bottom that contacts with your lap is more flattened, bigger surface=lower pressure. The sides of the lap bar are more curved so the lap bar provides extra lateral support. And the seats are also slightly modified for lateral support. From what I see on the photos, the lap bar's position is more likely to land on your lap further back than SkyRush's. -

The way the new style restraints are lowered is completely different so the padding had to be redesigned Look at us talking about how this is going to be uncomfortable before anyone has ridden it! How dumb do you think Intamin's engineers are to not modify the SkyRush restraint after SkyRush? A GP from Pennsylvania literally said "thigh crush" right after I asked him about Hershey Park! Intamin has never stopped improving their products and Flying Aces is going to be an incredibly intense and comfortable ride I'm sure. And I'm pretty sure the restraints tighten because of the high G-force, not because of the hydraulic locking device. -

Looks like that would be another example. I just went with Thunderbolt because that's the one I've ridden. I'm so sorry to hear that -

Look closer! Intamin changed the restraint design! Don't just look at the photos for two seconds and start ranting about "Intamin is horrible" -
