The entire thing, or just the track & handrails?

I may live a few timezones away now, but Carowinds will always be my home park.

How exactly would they enforce that anyways after the lift hill. "Put your hands down or I'm gonna have to E-Stop! DONT MAKE ME DO IT!!!! ILL DO IT!!!"

P.S. They also completely removed the back 2 rows of Drop Zone's queue. It took me a minute to notice it but it is definitely gone now. I'm not sure what the benefit to shortening Cyclone and DZ's queue was though, It really wasn't an inconvenience, especially on Cyclone where they only removed about 10 feet of path.

That is the stupidest thing that I have ever heard. On a roller coaster, you are supposed to put your hands up. Who ever created that rule needs to get some sense knocked into them!

Hmm......I have no sig.

No.

I did not notice the rule this weekend, but I would assume that it has something to do with low clearence issues for taller people.

^^^ I agree.... at Thunder Road they were yelling at us to put our hands up as we went up the lift hill. On top of being dumb its just unenforcable on a ride where they can only see you on the lift hill.
