KevKenny Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 After taking a second look at the trains, I think that this new design will allow for a better view in the back rows. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tr0y Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 The new restraints are going to make your collarbones scream like a Banshee, i don't care what has been said about Gatekeeper was going to get its restraints fixed, its the ending of the season and the restraints are still uncomfortable. Im starting to believe its not going to be fixed.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Any fix won't come until the offseason, or at least the end of daily operation. Making significant changes like this is not something that can be done in one night, as it requires lots of additional testing and the park doesn't want to shut down its brand new attraction that is still featured heavily in advertising during regular park operation if they don't absolutely have to. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im starting to believe its not going to be fixed.. I could not agree more. Gatekeeper is one of my favorite rollerocoasters but I have never been in so much pain in my life. I'm praying these trains come pre-retrofitted with the updated restraints that keep the vest from continuing to push down harder and harder with each turn you make. After riding Gatekeeper 5 times in one day, my shoulders and collarbone were KILLING, KILLING, KILLING me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Actually apparently restraints have been fixed on Gatekeeper, a few seats now apparently do not lock in place on the ride. This is all that I've heard, I have not been able to test or verify this info, I may be able to verify with a few of the crew members and I'll get back to you 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 a few seats now apparently do not lock in place on the ride Um, if the restraints are not locking, then I hope that those seats are not being used.... 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calakapepe Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 This is what I noticed shortly after I got home from the announcement and was very excited at the possibility and posted in one of the messy threads we had that night. Though, when I ride an inverted coaster, I'm not really expecting to look straight ahead anyways, I usually look down, and also to the sides (as if I'm in a car passenger seat) And you can usually see forward at an angled view depending on your seat (30-60* to the side)I couldn't ever relate to people complaining about a blocked view with inverts. Oh, and if it's an SLC invert.. then I just try to survive, I couldn't care less about views on those rides. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanna Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I also look to the side. I look all around me. I'm looking forward to the side view of Banshee, especially after some foliage and tombstones get put in. It adds to the fear to see how high up one is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Back in the Seventies, a lot of people got frightened when they realized how high they were. Sorry for the Flashback (on which one could see all too well). 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really happy to see some of the elements I loved on The Bat show up on Banshee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Experiences differ. I have NO pain on Gatekeeper. None. Skyrush is not even remotely pleasant restraint-wise. At all. For me. And you don't know what my experiences are. You have no right to tell me or anyone else what we can or cannot complain about. None. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love B&M, and 100% glad we have a new B&M coming over an Intacrap. HOWEVER! I actually LOVE Skyrush! I did not feel Skyrush was painful at all. Nor do I feel Gatekeeper was painful after 30 rides on media day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Cobra Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 And they're just the cutest little restranties, too! I think that's exactly how they phrased it when they placed the order with B&M: "We need the cutest little restrainties you have!" 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungStud Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 SKYRUSH is the closest thing to a mega lite in the US. Skyrush is awsome and a engineering marvel on a 4 abreast train being able to navigate tight radii. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
