What a weird choice for these trains. While the idea for stand-up coasters is interesting, I certainly don't miss Mantis (at Cedar Point) very much. I figured out how to stand "comfortably," but the positive Gs always made the ride uncomfortable to me, ESPECIALLY after a long day of walking! My tired feet needed a rest, not all the blood in my body rushing to my toes.
Not sure, but maybe the vertical give of the seat assemblies will mitigate some of the positive G discomfort you cite. I have to agree that despite any tinkering with the seat/restraint system, the general notion of a stand-up coaster is kinda strange.
I have ridden Riddler’s Revenge, Mantis, Iron Wolf, and Batman The Escape, and thoroughly enjoyed each of them without discomfort. I’m definitely looking forward to reviews of the new style, but it may be years before I actually get to ride.
