FOF/Z 4-ever Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 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 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reclaimer Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungStud Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOF/Z 4-ever Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Yea, I dont think its really possible. If so, I am sure Kings Island would do something about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKD4LIFE Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 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.

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 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I used to hold them up - but there really isnt any point in it. It makes me tired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlopez Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 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.

Jasper Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 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 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKD4LIFE Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvesterofyoursorrow Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 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 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
