The one at Magic Springs has belts attached to the lap bars. They hold the lap bar in place rather than touch the rider.

It's back!!!

With new seatbelts!

Perfect way to lower it's abysmal capacity when only being operated by one person! Much appreciated Dreamworld!

Yep, that's why they added a seatbelt, to annoy you by lowering capacity.

Tbh I doubt it will impact capacity at all. How long does it take to click a seatbelt together - 5 seconds tops?

Considering airlines around the world are still required to demonstrate how to put one together - there must be some people out there that don't know how.

As for affecting capacity - i believe it may - a 'good tug' on a harness to ensure it is locked could be done from either side of the train. I haven't seen the modifications to Buzzsaw, but i'm assuming the belts are either both mounted on the outside, or both mounted on the inside. Either way it's going to need more time for the belt to be checked either by needing them to traverse both sides, or to bend lower to get visual on them.

How much fun did they have with Arkham's new seatbelt latches? So much so they had to tell you NOT to do up your seatbelt so that the operator could do it for you to avoid causing a malfunction!

It's a little more than a humble little seatbelt.

Is it really any more of an inconvenience or loading issue than on SE though? Operstor pushed down with on hand on lapbar and one around seat belt. Surely couldnt take that much longer. AA is painfully slow to load no doubt about it, but don't see this being as laboured

Random question for @Noxegon but re-reading this topic, i'm wondering if you ever DID get that credit?

I'd hate for people who don't have a great understanding on how rides work to read a title like that and immediately jump to a conclusion like "that ride is unsafe" or "Dreamworld don't maintain their rides" especially when neither of which is the case.

Oof.

I'll just show myself out.

Yeah - apologies for the mega bump - but there's a few regular posters on the forums here that should re-read this entire four page thread - a lot has changed in 6 years.

I knew you'd have written about it but couldn't find your blog site. 

Strangely Pirouettes sticks with me though.

Certainly does.
