At 6'3" your head is above the collar and there is nothing for it to hit. Prolly why it is comfy for you TPF.

 

[Thomas]

I am one of the few who experienced no pain from the new collars, but it is very obvious that they are tighter and stiffer than before.

 

[CastleOSullivan]

I'm 6-6'2", and I do think that makes a big difference. I rode it twice with no wait and I even enjoyed it thoroughly. I had the entire train to myself the second time.

Now, just because I enjoy it doesn't mean that I think it's a good ride. It reminds me Mach Tower in that feels like they used anything but humans to model the restraints.

I was lifted twice in front and back, but instead of airtime, I believe it was the slow roll at the peak. That is why people would freak out without those torture collars.

Now that they have modified the ride, the entire loop following the roll at the top feels rougher than Alpengeist, which is just disappointing to me because I enjoyed it much better before hand.

They modified the ride itself? Or just the restraints?

 

[The Hessian]

I was referring to the whole thing in general cause changing the restraints on the cars is technically a ride modification.

Pass Member Preview Day was the first time I ever rode the thing. I didn't visit BGW at all last year. As a first time rider I hated it. I spent the whole ride attempting to keep my head from banging against the Collar it kept slamming into my ears.

I'm sure if I rode one of the other clones that has lap around only restraints I would have actually enjoyed the ride. I am not sure I will ride this thing again until they remove the collars.

 

[jornor]

Rode it for the first time ever on the 19th (Pass Member Preview Day) as well, found it to be incredibly fun and thrilling, a tad too short. Not harmful at all, maybe that has to do with my height/weight, I don't know.

Welp, looks like Plinko across from the plaza is here to stay. Seems like the park invested some money into its surrounding structure during the off season...

 

[Nicole]

If they have to have Plinko, in Festa near Tempesto seems like the best place to me.

 

[John]

Pesto's wear and tear has begun...

 

[James]

That looks like maintenance to me.

 

[CastleOSullivan]

I noticed that most of the bolts looked corroded/rusty, but that is embarrassing to see that already, and without an attempt to fix it. Well, the whole ride is a bit embarrassing in my opinion. (And I actually enjoy the ride.)

 

[TimBG]

The planking they have at Tempesto as you walk through the line is extremely slippery even when dry. It must be like walking on ice if it gets wet.

Tempesto was randomly mentioned in this LA Times article.

Just a quick website search did the trick!

 

[Luke]

Well that's different... sandblasted the star away.

 

[GoHokies87]

Looks like a color change could be on the way. I wonder what they're trying to accomplish...
