Superman - Ultimate Flight

Trains are loaded with riders in a seated position, but once all of the various restraints are locked, the cars are raised into their flying positions.  For nearly the entire ride, trains are suspended below the track while riders face the ground.  One notable exception is the in-line twist seen in this picture.

Despite being suspended in the flying position, I think that the ride is pretty comfortable thanks to the well-designed devices holding riders in place.  A padded over-the-shoulder harness and a lap bar help support riders' weight.  In addition, small flaps in front of riders' shins help keep their legs secured.
