pkifreak Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Do u guys think the new seatbelts make The Beast a little less shaky, I think it kept u in place more. I liked it the other way, shaky, bumpy, and rough, same wit u guys? Quote
beastdude Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 I think it depends on how tight your seat belt is. :evil: Quote
KIBeast Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 I thought that the seatbelt was pointless. But, I guess it could come in handy should the restraint fail. I don't think it had any effect on my ride on The Beast. Quote
specialk141 Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 experienced them for the first time last night... i really do not think they make much of a difference in the ride at all. they are just there for safty, and as a precaution do to all the accidents lately. no big deal, they dont bother me at all, i dont think they ahve an effect either way.

RollerCoasterUSA Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 yea when you're small you can't even realize something's there cause they stop like 1-2 inches above my waist..lol so yea i do'nt think they make any difference at all. don't even cut off airtime for me (not that beast has THAT much of it ) Quote
Mr. Christopher Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 They don't make any difference in the ride. Although you have to get used to it being there because I totally forgot about the belts at the end of the ride. Quote
RollerCoasterUSA Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 lol.. i've done that a few times too. i'll try to jump out of the train really quick and it hurts.. haha Quote
RCTfreak Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 The only thing that i have noticed them doing was that i have forgot it being there and tried to stand up before taking the seatbelt off, wasnt good. and that it slows down the loading process, i dont feel any more secure because of it. yet i am 5'7'' 130lbs so that might make a difference -rctfreak- Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 I'm 6'2 205lbs, so I'm a big guy as is, and I don't see a problem with them at all. I don't even notice them on the ride itself... and yes, I've tried to stand up before detaching the belt.. it hurts a little, but it's more embarrassing than anything. Quote
Scooby_Doo Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 The seatbelts dont bother me at all.Iam only 5'4 so nope not a problem. Quote
Knoxville Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 I love it every time I forget about them when I get up. I push than pull the lapbar than stand up and the seatbalt hits me in the you know where guys. Quote
Mrs. G. Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Just FYI guys, the girls tried to stand up without undoing the seatbelts and it hurt them too.... Quote
italianchef Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 At 5'5 I can say that the seatbelts do make me feel more secure on The Beast. I wish they'd add them to Drop Zone, Face/Off, and Vortex too. G'Day mates and sheilas, Italian Chef :chef: Quote
DeliriumOWNS Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 At 5'5 I can say that the seatbelts do make me feel more secure on The Beast. I wish they'd add them to Drop Zone, Face/Off, and Vortex too. Your crazy. Quote
DeliriumOWNS Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 It's like asking PKI to put more brakes on The Beast. Quote
Browntggrr Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 It's like asking PKI to put more brakes on The Beast. Huh? How is wishing that there are more seatbelts on certain rides so you feel safer, like adding more brakes on The Beast. I don't get the comparison. Quote
PKIDelirium Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 Face/Off and DZ have backup belts for the OTSRs, but Vortex needs them bad Quote
Captain Obvious Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 I think seatbelts take away from the thrill of the ride. Seatbelts the anti-airtime. Quote
RollerCoasterUSA Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 yea i mean i'm not too worried that my OTSR on Vortex is just gonna fly up but i'd feel a whole lot better if they had either a seatbelt or something to lock into the restraint. just incase i mean that ride's getting old. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 2004. First year for seatbelts on Beast... 5 Quote
Tr0y Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Take a ride in the very backseat of The Beast, you won't even notice you have a seatbelt on. 2 Quote
benny1388 Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Take a ride in the very backseat of The Beast, you won't even notice you have a seatbelt on. Because you'll be in too much pain to care. My fiancee and I rode last seat based on someone's suggestion we were chatting with in line...we both carried bruises for a few days (not exaggerating). 1 Quote
McSalsa Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Wow- having only ridden Beast for the first time in 2009, I thought the seatbelts were added in the 90's or something, not the 2000's. Also worth noting looking through this thread... -Vortex also has seat belts now as a backup to the OTSR, so Italianchef got his wish. This had to have been between 2005-2008 because when I rode in 2009, it had them. -Diamondback was built in 2009, ran w/o seat belts until 2013, and then got them in 2014...ironically a decade after Beast... -BLSC and The Bat have both LOST their seat belts in recent years I think I remember The Racer having seatbelts in 2000 when I rode it, but am not 100% sure on that. 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Nope. Seatbelts were added to Beast and Racer at the same time. 5 Quote
Oldschool75 Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 I prefer the buzz bar and no seat belt, makes for an exciting ride. Ahh the good ol days. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system. 6 Quote
The Interpreter Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 ...and the soft cushioning and leather upholstery with no seat divider or head rest. 7 Quote
