May 27, 200719 yr 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.]

This ride has to be the best roller coaster at Kings Island [for me.] Yes those are the same shoulder restraints that it had as X-Flight. 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.
May 28, 200719 yr 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.
May 28, 200719 yr 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.)
May 28, 200719 yr 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.
May 28, 200719 yr The restraints were really comfortable. I wouldn't mind them on Flight of Fear, Vortex or any looping coaster.
May 28, 200719 yr 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.
