I don't like the purple color, but the trains look nice.

I like the restraints. I had a feeling they would convert to something like El Toro's. I don't mind El Toro's lap bars. I know a lot of people complain about them but I have no problem with them. The speakers make the seats look kind of funny.

I don't like ANY Intamin restraint, but these are an improvement over the too-tight T-bars. Nothing touches Phantom's Revenge's lap bars for comfort and freedom of movement to enjoy the ride.

The speakers are hideous and completely unnecessary. Hopefully the seatbelts are an inch or so longer than the old ones.

Nothing says Six Flags like fixing what isn't broke and not fixing what is.

Just what they need
higher setbacks so you can't see anything in front of you

good point. I dont know if I would rather have the old trains with uncomfortable restraints and better visibility or these new strange-looking trains with more comfortable restraints.

Why not follow the old wow rule:
Ride it first, then decide.

Now that you mentioned that, I can't get Wall-E out of my head when I look at the trains lol

I agree with wow.... I'll wait until I ride it first and then decide.  I don't think the seat backs are any higher than before anyway.  I'm more concerned with the added weight so hopefully that doesn't change the ride much.

It would be an injustice to the ride if it slowed down.

SFNEOnline.com has reported that the new name for S:ROS is Bizzaro. Screamscape has the scan of a Dunkin Donut coupon with the new logo...

Really? Damn. Those "improvements" are pretty much what I was thinking anyway.

not paying attention, somehow got on the wrong post. my computer has the backspace feature where it jumps to the last page just by pressing the button.
