JT325 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Patriot was great! Sit up straight and brace yourself. Not a hands-up ride (and it's a rule, too, I found out). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 We never rode it before the change but we rode it over the weekend. The ride is incredible. Is it safe? I don't know... but it's incredible and we've all got to go sometime so we rode it a ton even though we didn't expect to going in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to get back up there sometime and ride it again without the shoulder harnesses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Also yeah... I'm a hands-up guy but it's violent in the valleys. It's smooth but crazy-aggressive, We put our hands up through the loops (my-bad if there was a rule against it. I was not aware of this and it wasn't communicated). Any other time, I wouldn't dare anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovethesink Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 On that topic, I'd be interested to hear in what everyone else does in terms of "hands up" or not on rides. For me, I put my hands up for negative Gs to float. Sometimes I will do it more than that because why not, I guess, but it doesn't really do anything for me other than during airtime and hangtime.

prozach626 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 For me: No wooden coasters. Hypers are always hands up. Anything else, I play it by ear. Usually I'll put them up on the first drop, and after that not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT325 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I had my hands up for the first few rides I took, until I rode the back seat alone (nobody else wanted to ride back there). It owned me (in the valleys, as coasterbill mentioned), and then I braced with 2 hands and 2 feet. After all that, I heard the rule. I love flat track, even if it's elevated. It adds variety and great scenic views, can't wait to ride it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
