It is a tad bit cramped up there. How tall are you? I am 5' 9" and it is tight for me.

Somewhere between 6' 1" and 6' 2"

I just assumed that stopping was part of the ride since the spot light "searches" the train. Part of the theme stuff everyone cares so much about.

That does not happen anymore. In fact, I never knew that it did. A neat idea, though.

Really? The 2 times we rode it on July 13th it did. Once stopped a small light could be seen going over a few seats before the ride took off.

I don't feel any kind of roughness on Flight of Fear even on the MCBR. I do get jerked around a lot during the tight and rapid turns. I enjoy a little pain on rollercoasters.

Then I guess it might happen. As I said, I typically sit in 1-1. I might have to check that out.

Even if that's the case, it's an effect that, I'm sure, was complimented by the synchronized soundtrack, which is inaudible when it even plays at all. I'm very interesting in seeing this effect with my own eyes, though!

I am with you I have never seen that effect, ever. I even stood inline its opening year and have made it a ritual of the park to ride it. But again like you I either sit 1-1 or 2-1. So if it happens mid train I have never seen it on that ride... how sad am i? almost ten years (or so) of riding a ride in the same spots....

Are anyone else's feet being smashed in FoF? I think I was in the right side of 5-1 (I think?) and my foot's circulation was almost completely cut off, yet the bar wasn't even close to my body. Stupid "ankle" restraints.

I'm 6'1", don't have much trouble with getting my feet under the orange padded thing. I just don't like having to step into the seat, that is about a foot below the platform station.

That is what I going to say, Diamondback having a rattle, can feel it though my seat and the lap bar. Can only ride that two times before getting a headache.

Yea my feet get smashed depending on what seat I am sitting in.
