It’s more about the psychology of it I guess - but the straps do feel more secure. You feel way more “open” with lapbars, even more with staggered seating like on Shambhala Plus if they are changing the launch, new lighter trains would be beneficial

I could be wrong but it doesn’t look like that would be any clearance issues - maybe the portals but that’s a easy fix. Regardless lapbars would be a much better ride experience.

By that I mean I prefer lapbar restraints. Sorry if that wasn’t clear - but I can’t edit it now

If they re-do the trains and don't change to lapbar restraints - that will do me.

They definitely did the maintenance there about 10 years ago. Not sure if that’s changed since.

I seriously wouldn’t put it past them

Doesn’t Luna park still use multiplex for their rides maintenance?

Maybe they could be better off contracting out maintenance - means they can scale up and down workers required and put in place KPI’s that keep the rides open. pipe dream but just an idea.

They're gonna need a bigger board soon.

Yeah but this one actually existed. For reference - this is the launch that red force is capable of.

POV

They were just inspecting something

I'm probably on my own here but I wish they just left it SBNO and maybe just wait til they had enough money/tech to fix the launch - instead of spending millions ripping it all out and putting light up letters that hardly anyone is gonna see. If it was cheaper than putting the letters up - I would have opted for this. Again different mentality if they park regularly opened during dark hours.

Sunrise is doing a story about this this morning

Anyway

A ride that was too scary for an insignificant amount of people would be perfect. Small lines = happy thoosies. They could have just changed one side tho - still supplying the current quarter century old experience, along with a brand new one. Don’t forget they pulled a perfectly good ride off the side of the tower

Not tall enough.

It just sucks they couldn’t change the ride experience at all - 12 months later

Very fast.
