I'm not sure if this is the thread to post this in but it was an "experience" so I'll share.
When the train is entering the station after a lap, there are no flaps/cones/railings/warnings on either side of the train about keeping your legs in (think Ricochet's warnings). As a person with very long legs my feet were just resting comfortably there while I was talking to my friend and suddenly my right foot got bumped by the side of the station platform (rough metal btw).
Considering I have common sense, I wasn't tossing my leg out or hanging it down or anything, it was just resting in a normal comfortable place and I had no idea that edge of my foot was off. I hate to predict nasty things but I can definitely see someone being slightly more careless than myself and possibly having a brutal meeting with the edge of that platform.
I would highly recommend a ricochet-like flap treatment without all the annoying recordings as the train re-enters since these new B&M trains are completely flush with the platforms with no edges around the sides of the cars.
EDIT: I also plan on suggesting this next time I'm in the park if they haven't fixed it already.
EDIT2: This problem only really exists on the right side of the train.
Now back to discussing how ****** disgustingly awesome our new coaster is.
