I have seen people stretch there arms into the air on most flying coasters, know that most people around here have been assimalated I was wondering what they feel is best. I am average. I would my hands into the air through most of the ride, but if you do that in the loops it kills your shoulders.

Hummm...Being that i never hold my hands up on the ride i find your no option a lil bias 'cause I ain't no wimp!! Its just a personal preference. Besides if someone was truly a wimp they would be a spectator instead of a rider...................

Well this definitely is a different poll. Aboard the Borg, I am not afraid to do the Superman thing putting forth my hands. However, I tend to want to hold on to something during the rollovers to my back, as those transitions are kinda violent in that they happen so quickly. I personally don't like the positioning of the yellow straps. I hold on to the yellow knob instead.

I kept my hands down!!! I hold on every time I ride a coaster If It's my first time, when I go back In July I might let go...
I got really scared going up the lift hill because since I am soooo small I couldn’t reach that yellow knob and there was know way I was going to hold on to the straps, I ended finding where I wanted to hold on about 5 seconds before the top of the lift....

:o I wasn't scared the first time I rode Borg. I didn't hold my hands
up and I didn't hold the teeny little yellow OS handles either. I somehow
held onto the vest restraint thing. I didn't know what to expect. It was kind of
disorienting. I can't wait to ride it again, though. My daughter just joined
the ranks of coaster-fiend as she has finally reached 54". She's ridden
Borg twice and Top Gun and Vortex a bunch of times. She rode the
Scooby when she was two. I wasn't nearly as brave as her. She's my
coaster buddy. Oh yeah, she holds her hands UP on the Borg. Maybe I
will next time. :D

I voted superman but it depends on where I sit. As the outside will throw you around like a whip.

Superman of course. Hated that we couldn't do it during the commercial filming ;)

Max
the poster child for flying like the Man of Steel and getting called on it during the commercial filming...LOL

I rode it twice today (1st train and later, 20 minute wait from where the single and multi rider lines split). I flew like superman both times.

I have been ASSimilated 4 times now.
