Who holds their arms up on flight of fear?

[YoungStud]

I hold mine up on the launch but i am afraid to hold them up during the ride, everything is so close,lol.

[BoddaH1994]

Things are close, but you're safe.

[FOF/Z 4-ever]

i cant hold my arms up, lol. Holding to tightly to the restraints. When you watch the train in the drum, you look like you are really close to the poles, but your at least 10 feet away if not more and never get close enough to where your arm will hit anything.

[BeastVortexFan]

i don't i just hold on to the lap bar. It might hurt during the launch I think. Maybe I'll try it next time.

[SixFlagsMasta]

i keep my hands u on almost all rides.. except like SOB i'mvholding on for my life..haha that thing hurtS!!! bt FoF you bet i'm holding them up

[Reclaimer]

Ya'know...I actually hate holding my hands up on anything. Sure, a lot of other people do it, but I just plain feel stupid doing it.

...every once in a while, I will.

[flightoffear1996]

I hold my hands up and one time I hit my finger on The Beast the tunnel (no lie) and I got off the ride and my finger was all ready black and blue.

[PKIVortex]

Yeah that's why on The Beast you hear "Caution Please Keep your Hands Down and Inside the Car, Please Remain Seated at all times Thank You."

LOL

[flightoffear1996]

I wasnt standing though but I thought it was cool that something happened like that too me lol. I thought the would have been smart enough to build that tunnel taller so I wouldnt hit my hands.

[YoungStud]

Even if your 7 feet tall that is still a lie!

[flightoffear1996]

No Man I swear why would I lie?

[YoungStud]

Dude if it was true with the millions and millions or beast rides given over the years there would be taller people returning with no fingers or hands. You must have hit a bird or something.

[FOF/Z 4-ever]

Yea, I dont think its really possible. If so, I am sure Kings Island would do something about it.

[flightoffear1996]

WEll I know I hit somethign but I could tell what it was cause it was night out but I freaking hit something that made my finger all black and blue.

[PKD4LIFE]

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.

[YoungStud]

thank you for the explanation einstein. So i take it you wouldn't put your hands up on ttd,lol.

[PKD4LIFE]

No, I would be to nervouse and you are the same person on thrillnetwork and you discussed this topic over there too. Most people don't still thier hands up on thier first ride most of the time. All you wanna do is tick everyone off like you do at thrillnetwork. You said something like. You wussy or something like. You suck because you don't put em' up. Think whatever you want its your self and some people here have opinions.

[flightoffear1996]

I think I am now dumber for having read that.

dude, Flight of Fear guy said he hit his hand on The Beast in a tunnel. You have never rode The Beast, then you get even more off-topic and do a play by play of hypersonic. What in the world does that have to do with anything?

[Admiral Ackbar]

I used to hold them up - but there really isnt any point in it. It makes me tired.

[pkiboy]

I hold my hands up on The Beast going down the helix. im still alive.

[jlopez]

I always hold my hands up on the launch. But yesterday I decided to leave them up the whole time. I felt like my hands were going to hit something.], so I put them down. I know they probably couldnt but I didnt like the feeling.

Jennifer M.

[pkiboy]

your not going to hit anything. trust me.

[Jasper]

Hold em up all the way. I have gotten now where i will hold my hands up on anything. Millenium Force you felt like you were going to fall out but i didnt hold on. If i get on Top Thrill Dragster i will try to hold them up all the way, that is if it doesnt blow them out of socket.

[gburn07]

Yeah, The Beast's tunnel must be extremely close to the car when in the helix because me sitting on the left side of the train, I was even hesitant to have my hands up high. I guess it has to be a somewhat safe distance, but i woul dlike to see how close the train gets to the tunnel with ppl in it.

[PKD4LIFE]

lol. All our woodies are close to the tunnel walls too and I dare not to stick my hands to the side then it goes clack clack clack against the walls. Our tunnels shock out blue light sparks when it runs through it. You can hear it shock and all. It's a scary feeling.

[PKIVortex]

Now with The Beast. They have to be a reason why they are signs going up the second lift, warning you to keep your hands down. And I know most coasters have signs that says, keep hands and feet inside. But on The Beast it says Caution and whatever it says on the sign underneath the word Caution. And then the speil "Caution please keep your hands down and inside the car, please remain seated at all times" I have heard of people hitting there hands on the side of the tunnel before. If your in the left seat your closer to the tunnel walls then if your on the right seat.

[PKD4LIFE]

Oh, pki's a dangerous park. Just kidding! lol! C ya!

[harvesterofyoursorrow]

Well, what scares me is, I can touch the railing anywhere along the ride on The Beast easily. Going into the helix's there is that little mass of wood on the top left, that scares me, I <i>know</i> I can hit it. But I'm going like 45-55 MPH so I dont want to try. I like my fingers.

[Gordon Bombay]

If anyone could hit the wood on any of the tunnels on The Beast, then it wouldnt be like that. FOF96 probably hit something else, I have bruises all over my elbows and arms from hitting the guys hands/arms next to me.
