Wow, the tilting seats look like a ton of fun! Seems like such a minor thing at first glance, but anything that enhances the feeling of acceleration could pay big psychological dividends. I also imagine not being able to keep your feet flat or at least close to the floor really exaggerates the feeling you're out of control and potentially about to fly out of your seat.
This looks pretty cool! One thing I would worry about is the reliability of the seat. I am guessing they will do a great job but by adding a seat that can move with technology there is an inherent additional point of failure. Hopefully the seats are not going to cause the ride to be down for extended periods of time due to problems.
I suppose that could be an issue. However, there might be some kind of override built in that would shut off the moving seat feature, thereby allowing the coaster to run even if the seats are unable to move.

Agreed on both counts.

I had no idea about this type of ride vehicle. Not enough capacity for the big parks, but it would make me want to visit a smaller park to try it out.
Capacity is certainly an issue.
Well, that looks crazy!
Yep
