This is probably a strange question, but hoping someone can tell me which US or IOA rides feature the over the shoulder type harnesses or otherwise constrictive restraints - the ones that tightly lock you in with virtally no movement possible - unlike ordinary lap belts.

I'm fine for the ride's short duration, but unfortunately have a big anxiety issue with being locked in that way if the ride breaks down or stops for an extended period. I'm just too restless/jumpy to sit captive that way for more than a few min without getting very panicky. Unfortunately this is some stupid neurotic mental issue I have - I hate it. But after constantly worrying about it every time, I think I'd rather give up the thrills to avoid it from now on.

Does anyone know which do - or if there's anyplace to find this out?
 
At IOA....Hulk, Dr. Doom, Forbidden Journey, HIgh in the Sky Trolley, Dragon Challenge, Dudley Do Right

At Universal...Rip RIde Rocket, Mummy, Gringotts.

Might be others.
 
Google "ride vehicles" and the ride name.

You're not want to go on forbidden journey. Although I don't feel that anything locks you in as tightly as you're describing, you might feel differently, and since fj has side things that make it hard to see the people next to you it might feel worse.

Of those, Hulk, Dr. Doom, Forbidden Journey and Dragon Challenge have Over the Shoulder Restraints. The rest have lap bars in varying levels of restriction. So, on Mummy, Gringotts, Rip Ride Rockets, etc. your upper body is free but you lower body is tightly restrained. On Gringotts, there is not only a lap bar but also a shin/ankle bar.
 

Thanks all! Appreciate it. :D Love thrill rides...so may end up gambling on 1 or 2 of the best ones everyone loves most and keep fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong, then skip the rest. Very helpful to have the list.
 
Most of the thrill rides also have tester seats out front so you can always sit down in one to gauge how it feels (sometimes for me it's not just being restrained but if the sides also curl up on me.
