NOTHING TO HOLD ON TO!!

Well since I missed the VIP Auction, I'll probably be going the 14th by myself... ;p
After looking at the video's from media day, the lap bar seems to have a good handle to hold onto. That way, you have something close to hold onto and don't have to lean forward to hold onto a bar on the seat in front of you. :) I'm not too worried, I think the bar on the lapbar is sufficient. :)

Yes, the lapbar has a handle on it. But, we weren't told to keep our hands down, and believe me, I had them up :)

Dont know about everyone else but when going on MF for the first time the lap bar handle was sufficient, as leaning forward was uncomfortable, and I could bearly get a good grip (I'm quite short). On TTD you are going to want to be comfortable at the launch, so with nothing that you have to lean to grab hold of it's a better ride

I don't know if I'll be able to keep my hands up for Dragster! I can barely make it down MF's hill with my hands up... it feels like I'm going to get ripped out of the restraints.
Based on the 3 networks video I saw the small bar on the restraint did the job. You are almost compelled to hold on at launch Most all did hang on.After top hat some let go .If you think about it if you did lean forward and this thing launched it would hurt when your head slapped the seat. so sit back hold on and enjoy the ride I will soon .

Bah. I was hands up on every ride. The acceleration is less intense than XCelerator or Hypersonic, and I can ride those just fine. (Hint -- don't hold your hands straight up before the launch -- hold them forwards in front of you. That way they get thrown up by the launch, instead of wrenched back)
