The best/most comfortable restraints?

[Bottom_Feeder_13]

I love the S & S OSTRs used on their drop towers and think that they would be an ideal way to go with OSTRs. As for lap bars, B & M clamshells are beyond amazingly comfortable and the way that you can get your ass off the seat if you're skinny even if you're stappled is awesome. I also really like the old style Intamin t-bars as restraints, ignoring the lack of leg room in those cars, for the openness and comfort.

^Yes, exactly; but with limited construction, the parts aren't quite as easy to come buy. Getting specialist seats for five coaster trains a year doesn't get big order discount :lol:

buy, by. HEY GUYS COME ON DOWN TO ROLLER COASTER DISCOUNT PARTS!!! GET YER AXLES N TIE RODS FOR THE NICE LOW PRICE OF A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS!

Really doesn't one roller coaster train cost about as much as a high end sports-luxury car? I'm talking like the $750,000-$1,000,000 "say goodbye to your grandchildren's college funds" car.

The B&M Wing trains cost $1.9 mil apiece.

^ Just out of curiosity, would you happen to know what the most expensive coaster trains are? I seem to remember reading somewhere that they were the Arrow 4D trains, but I can't find anything to back that up.

That's a good point. Along those lines, I'd have to imagine that Hollywood: Rip Ride Rockit's trains would have to be up there, with the onboard audio, touch screens, and LED's.

The Wing, 4D and RR&R trains are probably the most expensive because of the hardware and technology that goes into them, the latter more so for RR&R and 4D, whereas the Wing trains are more hardware-needy.
