Yup, I experienced exactly the pain in my hips and legs you mentioned. Worst rolling stock and restraint design EVER, but this has been discussed ad nausem.
There should be a height limit of, say, 6'4" or something for this coaster. I think the pain occurs mainly for tall guests.

What do you expect for an 80 MPH woodie?
Ride in the center of a car. The ride is smooth as glass there.

Yes, I've had SOB bruises, and I liked it.
I know it sounds weird, but I'd say it was similar to the bruises you get from playing tackle football with no pads on when you're a kid.

There's nothing like a woodie...
I loved SOB on my recent trip to PKI. I didn't expect to like it, because of things that I had heard, but I was very surprised what a good ride it was. I definately wouldn't call it smooth as glass, but at the same time I wouldn't call it overly rough considering its size and speed.
I do, however, have to agree with other's opinions here. I did not like the restraints on it. I found them very uncomfortable and there is no way that I could have gotten right back on and ridden again because of the discomfort. It didn't keep me from enjoying the ride (in fact I personally liked it better than Beast) but it did make me think twice about how often I was willing to ride it.
Yup..with those trains, one ride was enough. I spent the rest of my time on it's Pop.
