Kind of like this maybe. This is A Vekoma Flying coaster train from Batwing at Six Flags America. Just imagine it upright as the train has already dropped the seats to the prone "flying" position

Judging by the description I think they're more similar to what HUSS uses on their Top Spins:
But with the seatbelt comments added in I can't help but feel TOGO has been reincarnated by some cult worshipper, when OTSRs and Lap Bars are combined nobody wins.
EDIT:
Also just from experience, Batwing has the most awkward restraints I have ever experienced on a ride. This is counting the devil BDSM system TOGO used on Viper, and the god awful OTSRs Premier had on their LIM launchers.

I'm really confused. I always thought the reason to get a Premier was the lap restraint.
Well after hearing this I look forward to riding.....AC over and over again. I'm done caring about this.
1...BGW has come across to me, time and time again, like they don't have a f*%king clue.T Jefferson said:
2...There is a solid minute and a half of 'airtime' 47 feet away on AC.
Just sayin. Maybe BGW comes across differently to some other people here. This is just the way they appear to ME.
That is true. Apollo's Chariot is right there. Why ride this peice of crap for airtime when you can ride an airtime machine that's an extremely short walk away. And as for the restraints, what the hell.
So I'm seeing doubt on other sites regarding my OTSR news. You know what that means? Bet time!
If Tempesto doesn't have an over-the-shoulder restraint system, I will spend an entire day riding it... Or I guess waiting in line for it...
BOOM.

Zachary is just destined to kill himself at the park he loves with these bets...
Because we all know that the last bet went soooo well for you.
That didn't work out for you so well the last time, Zach.
Do you plan on providing selfie photo updates after each ride?

Don't worry, I'll ride with you and we won't have to wait in line.

Guess great minds think alike?
As much as I'd prefer lapbars, the 305-style vest harnesses aren't that bad. I'd take them over B&M or Arrow OTSRs any day of the week.
Now whether or not this affects capacity, I dunno. As long as we don't have those awful FOF seatbelts, I'll be perfectly fine.

It's sadly not going to be the I305 vest restraints. Look up Goliath at SFNE. It might have the same restraints as that only with a lapbar too. Twice the discomfort AND twice the loading time!
Except those harnesses were designed for a ride that
1. Wasn't built by Premier
2. Was designed with a similar harness system anyway as you can see in this pic.

Having ridden Batwing as well i agree it's awkward to get situated in these types of restraints. Being 6`3"it was hard to feel even slightly comfortable in the least.
Not holding out this will be any better but I will give it at least one try.
