Does anyone have any data on what ride restraints will be used in the final version? I think that that information is sorely lacking in this article. While I can see the appeal of not having an over-the-shoulder restraint due to the fact that your head will be whipped in all sorts of directions (and you don't want to bang your ears on them), I also think that *any* coaster's restraint system should be designed to handle the absolute worst case scenario. In this case, it would be getting stuck on the ride in an upside-down element (due to a wheel locking or something else). I just don't see how a lap-only restraint can be enough for all passenger body shapes in a situation like that. Another example of a worst case scenario is when an excessively heavy person gets on a ride that shouldn't be on it and the kid operating the ride doesn't say no. Granted, I've ridden on Flight of Fear (at Kings Dominion) before *and* after the shoulder restraints were removed and the ride is a better experience without the over-the-shoulder restraints, but I wasn't thinking about what-ifs and safety that day. I was ASSUMING the designers had done their due diligence. That doesn't mean they had. On another note, is there an article in existence at Wikipedia that talks about engineering coasters for safety in general? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.194.0.52 ( talk) 20:00, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
