How would that hurt? (It hasn't had the padding put on yet....)

Boomerangs don't have any -Gs so you should never touch those.

Wowzerz... it looks like it would hurt but i saw the other pics and there are people actually on the ride, not a full train, not even half, but it looks fun but also painfu. In my opinion, i don't think it's safe or comfortable...

I am LOVING the front end on the train.

As for the restraints, I doubt they're any more uncomfortable than the OTSRs we have to deal with now. I'd rather have my gut pressed with a non-padded bar than to have my ears boxed and my spine compressed with OTSRs
My body isn't a temple. It's an amusement park.

Looks cool. I can't understand why it's not padded, wouldn't hurt would it?

Looks cool if it works with Premier it could work with Vekoma.

Those are not Premier trains, but it would be cool to see that. It probably would hurt, but hey, which Boomerang doesn't? [hello]

oh wow love it...the restriants looks like they have a very comfortable and natural holding position (usually I find when they have a more natural postition they're more comfortable)

The trains are sexy too :P

looks cool, but doesn't it seem like that the wheels are dangerously close to being within hand reach? I figure it prolly just seems that way in the pics and all, but still. I could just imagine some dumb ass trying to see if he could reach it, only to pull back a nub. OUCH! [lol]

I don't think you'd be able to stick your fingers under there, but who knows until someone tries ;)

Those trains remind me of the X-Car, probably the most comfortable train I've ever been in.

The trains kind of look like knock-off Top Thrill Dragster trains. I've been told these are comfortable, but without the padding they don't look like it.

Look good trains, but I can imagine there would be a bit of discomfiort when reversing up the first incline, when all your weight is resting on the restraints.

This looks like it could be fun, especially if there is no headbanging...

hm... it does go upside down right? i was thinking that maybe this is like a new track design or something like that...
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.
