I hold my hands up on any coaster except HyperSonic XLC because its way too intense. There is also a recorded annoncement before the ride takes off. You sit in your car and they check your lap bars. Then the train turns and stop on the launch track. Then you hear the hill brakes release and then you hear ding, ding, ding, ding and the recorded annoncement comes on. It says. (after the ding) "Face forward...... keep you head back against the head rest...... your arms must be down!...... prepair for launch" then the air fills up in the tank below the launch track and then the lights turn red, yellow, yellow and then green then the cable pulls the train really fast that you can hear the motors making like an sqealing kind of noise and the car runs up the hill and all the air in the tank comes out of the ride with a loud windy sound for like 7 seconds then you hear the car go up the hill and you hear some cracking noise and then the wheel spins at the top and it comes back down the hill and into the turn around then it heads down the last hill and you hear a big loud crash when the train hits more than 30 trim brakes just to stop the ride.
