Closing your eyes, now theres a great way to induce motion sickness, yet folks continue to do so.

I raise arms in air for rides.

Except for Vekoma and Arrow Brace Positions.

Many, many ACErs wear dark sunglasses on coasters...others love dark rides..not just for the increased speed, but also for the lack of being able to see. Why else would so many beg Jeff Seibert for so long to turn out all the darned lights Paramount saw fit to install on The Beast's course? Have you noticed that it seems that for the most part, as said lights burn out, they are not being replaced?

Cost saving meassures, light bulbs cost nickles...

The power they consume is a lot more in terms of nickels than is the original cost. And there is the cost to replace the bulbs more frequently than if they are not used or if a more efficient, longer lasting light source is used. That's two of the reasons compact florescent can save so much money...yet people see the relatively high original cost and buy the "cheap" incandescent. Yes, I am aware of the so-called mercury issue...but more mercury is emitted by the coal that would be burned to generate the electricity the compact florescent won't be using.....and some day, LED's will make even the CFL's obsolete....

But I digress...back to what do you hold on to when not looking or looking on a rolley coaster....

I agree with RailRider though on Arrows and Vekomas Hang on and hope you can remain consious throughout the whole ride.

As of now I hold a mouse in my hand looking confusingly at the computer screen..

Now, THAT"s a good one!

Thanks for making old Terpy guffaw!

LOL nice Terpy G-Force!

We should name cracks like that "Terpys".....

the only rides that i don't hold my hands up on are ones that have OSR's because i need to hold on so i can keep my head from hitting it.

On rides you don't raise your hands, what do you hold on to?

Depends on what type of ride or coaster, also depends on where the handles are.

On rides you don't raise your hands, what do you hold on to?

The only times I don't hold on are on OTSRs.

Don't you mean the only rides you don't raise your arms on?

In that case the restraints go in place of the lapbar.

Resraint or Handle?

i have never rode a roller coaster with my hands (that i can remember) holding on to anything

Yea, oops.

Thankyou, thankyou I will be here all night!

G-Force who just HAD too.

Ok though, "____, Who just HAD to," those don't count as Terpys.

You missed G=-Force's quite brilliant pun.

He had too....which is like saying had also...so he got two.

Or sumthin.

Ain't you had breakfast yet?

I didn't miss it I just wanted to clarify what were Terpys and what weren't.

And I'm gettin the poptarts as I type....

No, you still didn't get it...if you had, you would have seen his pun...he didn't just say he had to, he said he had too, as in also, just like Terpy, for instance.

As for Pop-Tarts (UGH), are you having two? Or knowing you, are you having to (as in Trooper Mom is making you eat something)?

I'm getting Two.....Trooper moms driving to Dayton for work....

Terpy just pulled a Terpy! LOL

Terpy's terpys ipso facto don't count.

Besides, please don't encourage him.

my breath

I don't even hold my breath.

Don't tell me you hold your breath on The Beast? You'd sufficate!

I hold on to OTSRs and lap bars all the time when on a coaster.

It depends on whether or not I'm able to hold on to anything. For example, on FoF, I simply cannot reach the steel bar, nor can I hold on to the lapbar, so I just kind of sit there with my arms crossed a little.

never, ever hold onto anything!!!!! learning to let go will bring great joy to your life and less pain on SOB.

I hold the top bars on son-that way to brace myelf for that one-doesn't help, it still beats me up-I am through with son. On the other hand, I don't hang on at Beast at all-that one loosens my back. Vortex the handles on the restraints-same issue with head banging. Racers-depends how rough that day. This year, hands up as well. In my younger days before seat belts and head rests, I never held on-was the only way to go.

I typically don't hold on to anything. I just fold my hands in my lap or put them up.

Now I'm trying to break the habit of holding the restraints on The Crypt.
