TOPGUN1993 0 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Oh yes, you guys are gonna love it. Its a very tough choice between the back to the front but I prefer the back row slightly more. Link to post Share on other sites
Diamondback Dude 0 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) could you see in both seats? EDIT: It showed a guy talking with a sign that said the estimated time. The highest one was 120 minutes. 2 hours aint too bad Edited April 18, 2009 by Diamondback Dude Link to post Share on other sites

DiSab 0 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Looks great. If everything works out, I should be down there next weekend. I like what they did with the rest of the entrance sign. You saw a glimpse of it towards the beginning of that video. Looks better now that its finished. Link to post Share on other sites
meyerhaus 0 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 How did the harnesses feel? Are they pretty size-forgiving? Link to post Share on other sites
PKIDelirium 222 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 They're very comfortable trains. Secure but you have a lot of open air around you, it's quite a thrill to head down that first drop in those open-air trains, compared to say Vortex or Flight of Fear where you sit down inside the cars.

TheKlockster 0 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 It can't be better than Vortex. Link to post Share on other sites
IcePagoda 0 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) How did the harnesses feel? Are they pretty size-forgiving? It depends mostly upon your size. I, for instance, can't ride. I'm 6'4" and 320lbs., but a lot of my issue wasn't so much the stomach but the legs/hips. If you're a wider person, or have big thighs, the seat is contoured with an inward curve at the top of the sides of the seat (so that the restraint when closed makes a more complete "seal" as it were). You might be able to shove yourself down into it, but the restraint doesn't come down far enough. I have a feeling that even if I were to lose 50+ lbs (which I've done before for this sort of thing) it wouldn't help unless I couldn't shrink the size of my legs. Most of the people that didn't pass the test to get on via the test seat were this way (bottom heavy). Not to say I'm not going to try before the end of the season though. :D Other than that, I love what they did with the whole Rivertown area. It's very nice.

Skywriter 0 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) I had the same issue I could not agree with you more. I'm 260 6'ft and my legs/thighs prevented me. The test seat it kinda inaccurate I got it to go green but not a solid green kinda was a dim green and the nice man said I should be able to fit but yeah I took the walk of shame. The Beast still beats all . I had an amazing ride on that the final helix was soo smooth today. Edited April 18, 2009 by Skywriter Link to post Share on other sites
Top Thrill Dragster freak 0 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 It can't be better than Vortex. Oh, but it can. And was. I'll second that! Diamondback is AWESOME! (as if we need to state that...) Link to post Share on other sites
