I'm so sorry it's taken so long, I moved to France at the beginning of the month and it's been a bit hectic! I've had a look through my photos and the dates and none of my parks corresponded with yours I'm afraid
Anyone have pics of the MK 28 April 2010 (I think it was... or the day before, or the day after... )?
I went with just one of my kids, didn't bother taking my camera because there are so many great pics of WDW on the Dis, and I figured we'd get pictures of the kids there when all of us went -- still kicking myself over that because daughter was picked for the Captain Jack's Pirate Tutorial! I knew we'd be seeing that but figured they'd be picking younger kids. So no pics of daughter with Captain Jack for me.
That would be me in the front row(on the left). Record holder on EE.(note the clicker around my neck). There is also a video of me somewhere on here. Not sure where but its on here
I've often been curious...why do people always put their arms up while riding a coaster. It always just looked silly to me. I must be missing something.

I considered that but the "fun" part escapes me. Does it make your brain think you are going to fall out and therefore is more exciting? Maybe I'll try it someday and see if I can recreate some of the fun.

there are 2 easy answers I can think of off the top of my head.
1. Peer pressure. "Everybody else is doing it, so I need to as well!"
2. Raising your arms is just an easy way to make sure you aren't bracing yourself. This in turn means that the only thing holding you in is the lap bar so you are more likely to get tossed about a bit within the ride.

Personally, I think it's a combination of getting tossed around a bit more, having as much of your body outside of the ride vehicle as possible, and the illusion of speed; that's why I do it, at least. For people newer to roller coasters and slowly adjusting I think it has more to do with conquering a fear and being able to ride without holding on to anything.
I kind of compare it to bobbing your head or tapping your toes to music. I can't exactly explain why I do it, but there's an instinctual response on large drops for me to throw up my arms and scream.
