Here's an article with a photo of the "alleged" actual piece that flew off the TTD train:

Was able to ride earlier today. Those trains are definitely a tight fit to get into the third rows of each car and for the most part you don't even notice or feel the comfort collars. EXCEPT that funky track profiling and transition into the third drop definitely bashes your neck/face into the comfort collar so beware of that part.
The way the trains are designed with an individual seat for each rider and a lap bar that I feel covers all bases on the safety side - I'm not really sure why on earth they decided to have comfort collars. The lap bar holds you in just fine and the comfort collars just add time to the loading/unloading process. Maybe they can come off at some point?
Anyway, it's definitely not the best ride out there, but is at least more enjoyable and re-ridable now.
I noticed this late last night and was like could it really be?! lol. They have been testing long hours so kudos to them for getting through the testing!
I'll give it a ride this weekend and report back. Hoping it's somewhat better!
I've stopped by Adventuredome twice throughout the pandemic on a weekend and crowds have been pretty light. You should be fine to get on everything you want!
Actually, testing resumed tonight. Yes, I acknowledge I'm way too excited for a not so great coaster, but it's the only new thing considering all the West Coast parks are closed for the foreseeable future due to the pandemic, lol. I'm really hoping these trains make difference as well!

Sorry, I can't figure out to how embed photos into the post and can't find any how-to tutorial. If anyone can assist me with that, I'd be more than happy to fix. Thanks!
