Hi all !
Problem with these orange colored retsraints is, that they were not designed
for a coaster but for a carnival ride named SoundFactory which is quasi a
polyp / monster type of ride with looping gondolas. Unfortunately someone
(Wieland) had the idea to put these seats and restraints into a coaster car.
A concept was shown at several trade-fairs and thereafter - unfortunately -
coaster trains were fitted with these uncomfortable restraints to run on
ZONGA.
Btw: Anton Schwarzkopf never was a fan of OTSRs.
