What does this remind me of?

The TOGO Death Restraints on the now defunct Viper at Great Adventure. On a contorted layout, this just looks painful.

^ My first thought was the Togo death restraints on Manhatten Express in Vegas.

Now I'm 90% sure it is a screaming squirrel, these cars a pretty much identical to them. Does anyone else see this and agree. Still it would be nice to see one in the US.

^I thought of KI's King Cobra or KD's Shockwave. Pretty cool. Kinda digging this mini-coaster trend of late.

It's not a squirrel, it's an El Loco. Pay attention!

Here is a Screamin Squirrel car. I think somebody above had said that the cars are similar to the Squirrel. I have to agree they are similar in design. Also the lapbars on the El Loco are designed to accommodate larger bodies due to its design. Here is a Squirrel car from 05.

I'm pumped! I'm only 2 hours away from Indiana Beach... I may try to take some time to go there and take pictures of Constructions and do some Steel Hawgin' Podcast! Whoo hoo!

I like the idea of making it accessible for all park patrons regardless their size but I'm not sure if this will be accessible for anyone over 6'5? Another word, is it Casey the Gaint friendly? :b

Well, those look like sweet seats to me. I hoping that whenever I get to ride such a coaster with those restraints as depicted, it should be a bit smoother than the old horsecollars from coaster past.
