My first time on it I hated it because all I noticed was the pain but after the next couple of rides I noticed all the other aspects of the ride that I loved. I just kinda ignored the pain afterwards because the rest was great. I wish it had over the shoulder restraints.

I was never bothered by the restraints, but I am definitely in the minority. For me the ride was phenomenal, the speed and air time was unmatched by any other coaster I've been on. I feel like if the restraints did bother me it would take a massive amount of pain to make me decide not to ride it again.

To many it's ruined by restraints.
The restraints are just awful.
They only reason i have it rated highly is because by the 3rd ride in a row my legs were numb so the ride experience changed dramatically.
If that gives you any idea

Pretty much my same reason as well.

^^I had the opposite Jordan. It got less painful with every ride.

Skyrush is a great ride, regardless of restraints.
The restraints don't kill the ride by any means, but add slight discomfort at the end. The moment you notice the tight restraints the most? In the brake run, once the ride is over.
I'd gladly ride Skyrush again in a heart beat.

I noticed it most on the pure airtime hill. Didn't have too much of an issue with it on the break run. It also crushed me in the back row going over the lift hill. Though I agree, it is a fantastic ride and I'd go rude it in a heartbeat as well.

I'm totally agreeing with Youngster Joey here! The first ride was the worst, then your legs gradually get numb and by ride 10 or so you won't feel a thing :wink: The intense -2g airtime hills are definitely the worst part!
However, you can cheat. By trying to hold up the restraints while going through the high g parts (especially the bottom of the first drop) you can prevent the restraint from pinning you down, thus preventing the pain

The first time I went on Skyrush, I liked the ride but the restraints were very painful. However, since it was such a good ride, when I went back to Hershey later that year, I was eager to go back on, especially because I heard they replaced the restraints with softer ones. My thighs were only a bit sore at the end this time, compared to the extreme pain I was in my first time. Now I was able to enjoy the ride even more. This ride is such a good ride. I love it now!

I rode in late June and had bruised thighs because of the restraints. If that was the new padding I cant imagine what the old one was.
