DropZone99 Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 I've never rode X-Flight untill now, which is obviosly Firehawk. I was wandering if X-Flight had the same shoulder restraints as Firehawk. Firehawk's restarints were neat and iv'e never riden a roller coaster with that kind of shoulder restraints. If you haven't riden Firehawk yet then let me tell you, no matter how long of a wait it is, no matter how many times the ride gets closed, stay in line. This ride has to be the best roller coaster at Kings Island [for me.] Quote

I wish that they would start using those on all rides where OTSR are required. They are much more comfortable. One thing I did notice is that my legs hurt a little when "flying" which is something I don't remember from X-Flight. I think I may have sat in a weird way though. Quote
Hendrick Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 It all depends where at the lower leg restraint is. If it hits in the wrong spot, it hurts a little bit. The thing that makes the FH OTSR better is that they are more around you neck, and not all around your head. Quote
PKIVortex Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Do they adjust quit a bit? What about for bigger people? Quote
Skywriter Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 I'm a kinda lager rider well kinda. I fit fine. I'm around 220 6"0 Quote
Hendrick Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 There is so much room on that ride. The only way I could see someone not being allowed to ride is if the ride ops themselves tell them they can't ride. (At least from what I remember from X-Flight. I haven't been on FH yet.) Quote
PKIVortex Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Well I can ride every ride in the park just fine, I even was able to get my own seat belt bucked on Drop Zone on the 18th of May. So I'm just wondering if I'm going to have issues. I am losing weight though as we speak, from my surgery and not eating an awful lot right now. Quote
upstop Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 The restraints were really comfortable. I wouldn't mind them on Flight of Fear, Vortex or any looping coaster. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Do they adjust quit a bit? What about for bigger people? Unless someone is unusually oversized, I think they'll be fine. Comfort may be another issue, but I certainly see them fitting on the ride. Quote
