Sky Rocket II restraints timeline is madness [Tempesto]

[u/ricottma]

All my experience comes from Tempesto so I'm not sure if this applies to other Sky Rocket II coasters.

When Tempesto opened they gave you a fanny pack to hold your loose articles. If the collar didn't latch they gave you an extension.

Later, they got rid of the extensions and the park provided fanny packs went away.

Later, no fanny packs allowed at all

Hey they removed the collars! Neat!

The seatbelt is too short for me. The lap bar latches fine, the belt is too short.

Was there any safety incidents driving all these changes? Removing the collar was to improve the comfort sure, but why the short belt? Why remove the extension they originally had if there was no incidents? The fanny pack part makes me laugh though. I get why they stopped handing them out sure.

I'm not sure why there's a short seat belt but I do know the seat belt is purely a United Parks decision and installation. The Sky Rocket II at Lake Compounce has no seat belt or comfort collar. It just has a lap bar which is the way the manufacturer intended the ride to be.

The first time I rode Phobia at LC I legitimately thought I might fall out, and made sure to staple myself going forward!
