I mean if the park wants to give me a warm glass of milk or a teddy bear, I'm down for that.
Tempesto's "Comfort Collar" Releases During Ride
- Thread starter Luke
- Start date
When I ride something for the first time I do not analyze the restraint system. Rather, I trust that neither the manufacturer nor theme park would operate an unsafe attraction.
Saying an unbuckled comfort collar is not a safety issue has to be uncomfortable for the park...

Simple fix really, just remove them and the deny they ever exsisted. It's worked so well for the park in the past.
It wasn't immediately apparent to me either but that was the game plan for Drachen Fire. Maybe that's what's being referenced?
I'm more or less referring to the park and the company's habit of refusing to acknowledge things. Like Blackfish, Tempesto, the Train derailment, etc; it's not healthy.
The park loves to deny things all the time. And yes, as we all know, the park never ever had a roller coaster named Drachen Fire located behind Festhaus. Never existed, ever. Even when you could see it with your own eyes!
As I was waiting in line, I once saw a comfort collar that came unbuckled and was flapping in the breeze. If they don't want to remove them altogether, perhaps replace the buckling mechanism with one that is harder to open or requires a key to release.
On a related note, are the straps on Alpengeist and Griffon also not part of the "safety system"? They can be released by the rider. Are they also there just for "comfort"? Also, is having an extra strap the defining feature of what makes a seat able to accommodate larger guests? By these two lines of reasoning, maybe all seats could accommodate larger guests if there were not straps to being with.

The straps on the other coasters are purely measuring devices. If the strap does not connect the rider is too large. They do not server any other safety function.
Didn't get pics, but they've changed the buckle.
