    I loved this coaster when I rode it last year, but I actually had no issues with the restraints. That being said, it sounds like this will be the same restraints as on Velocicoaster and Pantheon (among others) which are solid so this should be an improvement overall.

      I love the Velocicoaster restraints myself but I do feel WAY more secure riding VC than I ever did riding SR… That sense of security kinda flies in the face of thrill in my opinion. SkyRusk is certainly going to remain an elite ride – I just am going to miss that feeling that I’m going to die haha
