Look mate, we don't need you coming in here with your logic and reason. We're here for a moan and to hypothesise based on knee jerk reactions.
Holy F*^*
I vaguely remember hearing this discussed when the lightning train was first announced. It was all about ease/cost of maintenance. If the headrest starts to wear out, you can just replace that panel. If the headrest wears out on a one-piece moulded seat, you have to replace the entire seat, which is much more expensive and potentially more time consuming.
That's very smart on Zamperla's part actually. And I don't think comfort will be something to worry about, many people have said the seats are very comfortable.
It isn't so much the comfort level now, but the comfort level 5 seasons from now after general wear and tear.
Intamin's rubber molded chairs are a personal favorite for comfort, so will be curious to see if the new seat design will be comparable.
While it is a Lightning variant (ex. the seats, the "weld-free" aspect), this train is entirely custom made for this ride. 21" road wheels, the wheel assemblies, the longer chassis & 2nd row legroom; it's all designed specifically to fit on the Intamin track.
Thank you @MLDesigns
Wellllll, trains are already on site, so gonna have to do spot welds of protective plates on the midway.
That's fake bruh. The sketch's ass is far from the actual position while securely seated. Also thighs are longer than shins in real life.
