^Considering how massive a change we've seen from Vekoma with their new looping coasters (a full overhaul of track and trains), I'm fairly sure they're going to have ditched the awful Dutchman restraints. If they've kept the style, I think (hope) they'll have been reworked massively.

Such a tease. I still can't picture how they can fit the longest flyer in there, and have any room for steampunk buildings and theming? Can't wait to see.

Restraints look fairly similar to Lech Coaster and the like then. Has anybody experienced these new restraints? As a person who's over 6 foot, I'm a little nervous about my shoulders being compressed to dust.

It may be a difference whether you are being pushed into the seat by them or if you are lying in them. I didn't try any Vekoma vests at all, but I think for a flying coaster tight restraints are not that uncomfortable like they are on sitdown coasters.

Well, I'm 5ft 3... but I've tried new Vekoma restraints on Lech, F1 and Hyperspace Mountain Paris. They were a little unconvenient at first, but I got used to them by 3 or 4 laps and didn't feel they were too restrictive to my sense of freedom on the ride. Except for the Hyperspace Mountain ones, those felt really heavy!

Those leg things look f*cked up from this angle. Is there meant to be more to those?

Guess I can't complain about it not being lap bar for once.
Or can I...
