coastercrazed49 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Favorite OTSR: Intamin Launch-coasters: luv them..They're so soft! anyone agrees? I have to disagree with you. Intamin OSTRs rape perfectly good rides. Stormrunner, Fahrenheit, and Maverick could be so much more enjoyable if there was nothing killing your thighs or side of your head/neck. I have said this before but it needs repeating, Intamin is better than this. For me personally, I get my neck bashed and my thighs killed on every ride that has this type of restraint. Heck the restraints are the reason that I don't like Maverick that much. Does anyone else feel the same way I do? I partially agree with MagicMountainMan. I feel that during the ride that the restraint will get tighter with the forces pushing down on it. On Fahrenheit and Storm Runner the restraint did start to squish my thighs, and it became somewhat uncomfortable. Now I wouldn't go as far as saying that it ruined the rides for me, and it didn't really affect the overall experience for either of them. Both of the rides are actually in my top 5. The restraints do have room for improvement, but for the time being I would say that compared to many of types of restraints on rides that Intamin OTSR could be a lot worse.

KnottsDisneyFarm Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I usually don't like OTSRs because they are a little loose when I ride. If I close them one more notch it will be WAY too tight. And if I don't close it so it is super tight then it is too loose and I get WAY too much airtime. That's actually not a bad thing getting airtime, but it makes me feel like I am going to slide out or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisher1095 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 WAY too much airtime. Is that possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre8 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Giant Dipper's restraints is now my favorite, no seatbelts FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack44 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 The shoulder parts of the restraints on Kingda Ka are completelt useless. Also, I love the restraints on B&M Hypers. They let you feel so free during the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huge_Wonderland_Fan Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Worst - Togo Stand Up restraints, while not painful to me, they just don't feel right. Best - B&M Clamshell restraints, So amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisher1095 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I second the TOGO stand-up restraints as the worst. Look at them. They just SCREAM epic fail. Very uncomfortable indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsdominionlvr Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Oh god, Premier Rides such as Flight of Fear (Kings Dominion), and Round About (Freestyle Music Park) have the worst leg cramping, hard to get into, awful restraints ever. I really am a fan of all B&M Restraints, except for that of Time Machine's (Freestyle Music Park) restraints which do not give enough elbow space between riders.
