Test Seat
El Toro recently received a test seat, located in the entrance plaza, a welcome addition because of the restraint system's sensitivity to larger guests. The test seat (which is actually two seats) is an exact replica of the front row of one of the cars. It has fully functional, hydraulic-locking restraints, identical to those on the trains.
In addition to the lapbar restraints, the test seat includes the seatbelts used on the ride. When fastened, they must be pulled tight enough so that the yellow line is visible. If they cannot be pulled this tight, the guest will not be able to ride.

Famous quotes containing the words test and/or seat:
“Utopias are presented for our inspection as a critique of the human state. If they are to be treated as anything but trivial exercises of the imagination. I suggest there is a simple test we can apply.... We must forget the whole paraphernalia of social description, demonstration, expostulation, approbation, condemnation. We have to say to ourselves, “How would I myself live in this proposed society? How long would it be before I went stark staring mad?””
—William Golding (b. 1911)
“Unpleasant questions are being raised about Mother’s Day. Is this day necessary? . . . Isn’t it bad public policy? . . . No politician with half his senses, which a majority of politicians have, is likely to vote for its abolition, however. As a class, mothers are tender and loving, but as a voting bloc they would not hesitate for an instant to pull the seat out from under any Congressman who suggests that Mother is not entitled to a box of chocolates each year in the middle of May.”
—Russell Baker (20th century)
