I don't know if something like a T-bar or a Taron restraint would make it any better, but right now it's an issue.Īny B&M wing riders with locked vest restraints. Well, I don't know if it's because of the restraints or the shaping of the hills (probably a bit of both), but that rides was far more painful than Skyrush for me. I've done each of those three in both forms and what a difference those make.Ī few others that I'm really more concerned about.Įl Toro. Maverick, Storm Runner, and Fahrenheit have them as well. So long as it retains the freedom you get while riding (seriously, you feel so exposed on this thing).Īnd Intamin might was well take any of the old accelerator OTSRs and swap them for, at the very least, the soft I305 OTSRs.
I'm not too fussed with how painful it is but it would be nice if it was a little more comfortable. I mean, if you spent some time jiggling yourself about and getting your shoulder and lap bars just right, you could get a comfortable ride, but they were just so time consuming, laborious and temperamental.Ĭouldn't they just retro fit it with some B&M seats with traditional OTSR's? And while they're at it, replace that stupid, slow ass, compressed air system with a simple mechanical lift & lower. Breaks my heart to see it still sat there, unused and unloved.
Great ride that, but I wish it didn't have those horrible shoulder bars, would love to try it without them someday.Īnd seeing as the topic title says 'Rides' rather than 'Coasters', shout out to Slammer. Any of those coasters would be better with TTD or Taron style restraints. Not too fussed on Intamin's Rita/Stealth style restraints either. I've said for years that if they updated the trains on Colossus then I'd love it again, but it seems that Flamingoland, of all places, has come to the rescue. The restraints are literally the only thing wrong with it as far as I'm concerned. If it had the Taron-style lap bars or even the I305-style soft vests, I feel like I'd rate Cheetah Hunt a lot more highly Icon at Blackpool Pleasure Beach is a ride often compared to Cheetah Hunt with overhead lap bars, and that's my current #2, whereas Cheetah Hunt is my present #21.īut what rides would you prefer if they had different restraints?Ĭolossus mate. I also think that I'd enjoy the hangtime in that inversion a lot more. For example, I actually thought there could have been many really good moments of sustained floater airtime during Cheetah Hunt, such as diving out of that figure 8, but as soon as I started to rise out of my seat, the restraint kind of killed the airtime for me, if you get what I mean. Now, they don't inherently cause a problem, but I feel like they sort of limit the potential of the layout quite a bit. Now, for all the flack it receives, I actually think that Cheetah Hunt has a pretty solid layout with some very good moments, but I think I'd rate it a lot higher if it didn't have the traditional Intamin OTSRs. But have you ever come off a ride and thought "I would like that so much more if it had different restraints"?įor me, one ride springs to mind, and that ride is Cheetah Hunt at Busch Gardens Tampa. Some of them are almost universally loved, whereas others are almost universally disliked. There are many different types of restraints out there, as most of us know.
