Does CCI know how to make a bad coaster?
Don't think that I'm not Sotaly Tober, but I also like the TOGO restraints.  I can look all around in them, and they are somewhat comfortable if you get the height just rigth.  The only thing that I don't like is how you can tighten the chest restraint durring the ride.

Try Flight of Fear version 2.0: It's great!

Riddler is still smooth. Like so many other Stand Ups, its the positive g's. Sometimes they will lock the train before everyone is ready so you got some sitting, some standing, and some with their feet dangling. I had the misfortune of not being able to get situated in time and ended up putting too much wait on that bicycle seat. Boy are those Diving Loops powerful, hehe.

I like the Togo stand-up restraint design much better than the B&M design. The thing I really like about the Togo design is that it is absolutely failsafe...if all the latches (and there are three of them) fail during the ride, you're still not coming out of the train.

The thing I really hate about the Togo design is the implementation. The seat is too close to the shoulder loop. If only the seat and shoulder bar/headrest were independently adjustable, Togo would have a good system. Instead, they have a system which is utterly impossible for me to squeeze into.

The B&M system has a similar problem in that the seat is too wide and there is not enough footroom in the car. That wasn't really a problem until they added the safety belts which force the shoulder bar to be down so far that I can't fit between the seat and the bar. But the belt is a good idea, because if the shoulder bar latch fails, the rider goes away. Which is why I like Togo's design better.

Of course, it's all moot now, as I can't ride either one anymore.
