Yeah; That's a general thing for modern B&M rides, I think. Raging Bull is another B&M ride, and I *love* the restraints on that one -- just lap restraints, but the clamshells don't pinch you in any crappy places like almost every coaster does. The coasters are smooth, don't jerk you around, don't bang your head around, etc.
I can totally see the 'not having a floor' thing, but I prefer suspended coasters for that. Part of the reason why I find Mind Eraser so damn *frustrating* is because I generally love suspended coasters, but can't enjoy that one at all. But I do realize that in the front row, it probably makes a lot more difference.
Do you have a car? Do you have weekends free? The St. Louis park isn't *that* far; if you've got weekends free, you can probably get down there, though of course it does cost money. I really *loved* St. Louis when I got to go: Mr. Freeze was an incredible ride, and there is that big wooden coaster along the back of the park that's just a classic ride, taking advantage of the hills we don't have out here. I'd love to get back there again.
