    Hmmmm.... I had it set at a comfortable place, but it was almost impossible to keep from pressing down on the bar as I swerved and looped around.

    I guess I should be brave and not hold on next time.

    There are no test seats for SM. I will say that the back 2 seats have more leg room (i know the front looks roomy but it isn't) because you can slide your legs under the seat in front. I am 6;2 and worked there, trust me. Also the lap bars will hold you in well. In all honesty the ride only goes 27 mph on average, which is actually a little slower the BTMRR and you cannot touch the sides

    I think once the ride starts, it stays in place. There's just that time before they check the bars when you can still make your restraint uncomfortably tight. Maybe just try not to worry and leave a little room. Once that bar is down/pulled in, you're not going anywhere, even if it's not a really tight fit.

    I just wanted to give you all a report on our SM experience....

    Let's just put it this way......I believe that Space Mountain is now one of DS12's favorite attractions!! He did SO well with it and squealed with the rest of us! As soon as we would come to the end, he would say "More" and "Ride again"!! I appreciate all the input and encouragement! Thanks again!

    I actually gave DH the 'job' of being behind DS since he has longer arms!! And I believe he has recovered nicely!

    I think he really just reached forward with one arm to touch DS on the shoulder after the first time to remind DS that he was there and to stay in his seat. On one of our later rides, DS actually did try to reach up to touch the top of the flashing red tunnel towards the end!! I knew he would do something!!
