Not a stupid question at all. I believe it to be the first helix.

Ah. Then that's understandable. It tried to kill me with the old trains.

The lapbar clicked down one more notch going around the bottom of that helix and it was one notch beyond the point I could breathe. I spent the rest of the ride in pretty much sheer terror fighting to breathe. I never rode in the front seat of the car after that.

The "head chop" portion of Gemini intimidates me- I lower my hands onto my head at that part of the ride.

I am always forced to put my hands down heading into the first and last tunnels on The Beast. it always looks like my hands are ganna get chopped off. One of these days I will be able to keep them up in those tunnels... one of these days...

I always want to automatically lower my hands at MF's tunnels.. I always think for a split second that the tips of my fingers are going to get sliced off.

On almost all rides at KI, I have my hands down. There are two exceptions - The Racer and Firehawk. I hadn't ridden the forward Racer until last season and decided to throw my hands up on it and had one of the best ride experiences of my life. Firehawk is a MUST for putting my hands up. There's just no other way for me to get that incomprehensible feeling of human flight. I might just have to go hands up on all rides this year and see if I like it.

^ At what? Letters?

Most of the time I ride roller coasters with my hands up, but it's difficult to do on Flight of Fear and some other rides.

I usually try for my hands up! FFFUUUNNN!!!

Firehawk is a MUST for putting my hands up.

I thought on Firehawk we put our hands down, not up!

Zach who just had to..

Not unlike how on some standups, riders are instructed:

Do Not Sit Down....

Firehawk is a MUST for putting my hands up.

More like out, but you know what I mean. Only 3 more days left before I ride Kings Island's only B & M, Ohio's only flying coaster, the world's longest wooden roller coaster, the world's tallest and fastest wooden roller coaster, the coaster that sparked a new age of coaster building, and the only face-to-face inverted coaster in the Midwest. And some people say that Kings Island isn't that great! Can you tell I'm exicted for Opening Day?!

So do you ride coasters with your hands up or down?

Up all the way.. and i yell shenanigans on the break runs!

Hands down for me!!! But not On DB hands up all the way!!!

Both really sometimes up sometimes down.

Hands up.

Although i heard ttd at Cedar Point,is a hands down ride unless you want to get hurt.

my hands were definetely down on ttd each time. Its definetely in a class of its own IMO.

i'm hands up on all the rides that i can get my hands up past the restrant.

Hands up thru the whole ride. I did get bite by The Beast one time. It healed.

always hands up!
