^Question, in those pics of the vehicle, how come the left side of the car has different shoulder harnesses than the right side?

No I see it, it looks like an additional bar, but it is on the side of the seat.
(The left seat is the right side from our perspective)
I'd rather be riding the Voyage

Rita for example uses the same restraint system maverick will....that extra bar you see is the attachment to the lap portion of the restraint which is part of the OTS portion and is attached to the back of the seats so you can pull it down....

Yeah like I said above those restraints are bad on the neck and shoulders during quick chages in direction.

Unless your short, your head should be safe though.

After looking at that picture with the launch looking at the turn that follows it, i can definitely see where you're coming from.

I've sort of forgotten about this one as well. I'm much more into the Mystery Mine coaster at Dollywood, but it's nice to see some progression in this one as well!
