I find this new generation of vest restraints very comfortable, the older ones like on Gatekeeper staple you by the end of the ride and leave you with no room to breathe or puff out your chest. Rapterra doesn’t tighten throughout the course and the soft vest eliminates headbanging. I take the vest over Dominator’s hard OTSRs any day.
All i read everywhere is people hating vest restraint now. Thats part of the reason banshee is so low ranked to people for inverts. And why Griffon and Shiekra are better than almost every vest restraint dive coaster. Because no one likes them.
Im not complaining like some. I know it sounds like it but it is a very good ride. I don't refer to it as a actual "rough" ride. Ive seen it compared to a wodden coaster and that is just insane.
I'm with you. All of my best rides have been on the right side regardless of row/seat.
Bro what camera are you using omfg these are opulent!!!
I agree. The more I visit this year, the more I see people at the park compared to the past few years. Granted this week is the last week for most schools for VA and MD and I did see quite a few school groups today. But I still feel like there's a lot more people coming to the park, thanks to Rapterra. Honestly, it might be the most popular ride in the park now with guests. While it's still a thrill ride, I think it appeals to a lot more than thrill seekers, especially considering it has a 4'8 height requirement. Of all the roller coasters in the park, I think it's the most balanced as it seems to attract thrill seekers and newcomers and all seem to enjoy it.
I'll join the party with you guys. I'm really starting to favor the right side more than the left. I got two rides in today, one on each side and both times in the front row outside seat. Also, I don't know if it's me, but the right side felt slightly smoother too.
