Which rides do you hang on for dear life and which ones are you "look Ma! No hands!"?

I have to hang on in Tower of Terror - there is no way I am flying out of the seat just to be pummeled on my way down with the returning upward elevator - no way, nuh uh, not going to happen... (I have this thing about elevators anyway :oops: lol)
Goofy Barnstormer though - no problem - I have that one mastered 8) ('cept that hairpin turn...)

But for me, the "thrillest" ride I do is Splash Mountain. Or maybe Test Track. No teacups, no Space, no Big Thunder, no RRC, no TofT(did that once and no need to repeat that!! especially since I sat next to someone with very large legs!!!), no Mission Space, catch a theme here???
No spinning and no urpy up and down.
Did anyone see Regis and Kelly? The new TofT out in Calif has only seat belts, no lap bars.

A couple of my favorites is ToT and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
ToT because I love that feeling that I am being lifted off of my seat (worst case scenario, the seat belt slips - so what's a couple of bruises from banging against the grate?) ;)
BTMR: We always try to see how long we can ride with our hands straight up. It is a challenge - not because of the twists, turns and drops, but because some of the scenery hangs so durn low, we get afraid that I'll hands will get whacked off! ;) ;)

Cheri,
On the drop in Splash Mountain, I hang on for dear life. Did I ever mention that I am a chicken. :shrug:

Nothing at WDW needs hands- now some of the coasters at Cedar Point are a different story.

I can only go hands free on Big Thunder and Dinosaur. I hold on for dear life on Splash Mountain and Space Mountain. The three times I rode TOT I wish there had been a way to weld my entire body to the ride vehicle. I don't ride it anymore and have never and will never ride Rock n' Roller Coaster.

The first time I ever rode Thunder Mountain, I hung on because of the quick movements. Now I hang on to keep from getting bashed from side to side and getting bruised ribs!! On Splash Mountain, my hands are usually covering my face, glasses, hair to keep them sort of dry! The last picture we had taken there, the CM even commented on it --- "How would I know it was you??" and laughed. I don't do the ToT or RnR -- just not my cup of tea. :-)
