RollerCoasters
A place to talk about roller coasters and parks that have them. Everyone is welcome here to both learn and to celebrate these magnificent machines designed to scare you.
Here are some important resources:
Images are welcome if they are of high quality and it doesn't get out of hand. Please use PostImages to upload your image and then use that link in the URL field of your post (other image sites are permitted but Post Images has the best policies and compatibility).
Some basic rules:
-
Opinions, theories, and facts are all welcome – but be clear about what you’re saying.
-
Back up facts with sources as much as possible
-
No spam or sell-promotion. Linking to your own media or site is permissible only if it’s specifically related to a topic/post that someone else created.
-
No photos or videos taken on the rides. This is dangerous and shouldn't be encouraged.
-
Limit political discussion. When discussed it must be park related.
-
No fictional coasters (models, no limits, planet coaster, etc)
-
No posting personal information.
-
No shaming of anyone. We all can continue to learn and not everyone knows everything -- and that's ok.

Completely agree that the force of the deceleration ruins the flow. I wish they could get the magnetic brakes to have a similar deceleration profile than the old skid brakes.
I personally love where the SkyRush restraints land. I think it magnifies the airtime feeling as well as feeling like you're not well restrained. I can understand that bugging people. There's probably a good chance that if you sit fully in your seat and make sure the restraint is snug you might have a better experience. Also keep in mind that the restraints partially release on the brake run but that's often hindered by the seatbelt..... As soon as you hit the brake run disconnect the belt so your restraint can pop up if you end up sitting there a bit.
