Warning about putting things in pockets

[Metro West]

Can I get onto FJ with my camera? This is the only thing I would have to put into a locker. It is a point and shoot that would fit into my pockets, but I wouldn't do that since it could possibly fall out. Can I hang onto it? I have managed to keep it in my hands on ziplines.

Perhaps the back seat pockets are the way to go?

You should be OK as long as your pockets have a flap or something to keep it closed.

On Rockit, be sure to be mindful of stuff in your pockets as well. That vertical lift makes phones and wallets succumb to gravity. Good thing the lift only takes a few seconds!

I will second that one! I've had two friends that teased me about my belly bag until Rockit claimed thier iPhones!!

Rockit also almost claimed my phone this weekend...if the lift had not ended when it did!

We rode FJ 8 times last week, which by the way was by far the best ride I've EVER ridden on, and definitely make sure you have your camera, phone, wallet, etc secured in the locker and if not, then in your pants it has pockets with a ziper or buttons. I never saw that compartment behind the seat either. Also, if you go first thing in the morning or last two hours of the park closing, the line should never be more than 30 min long (that's the longest we waited for that ride). At the end of the day it'll usually be 10-15 min (at least that's how it was last week).

Cargo shorts with closing pockets are the best way to go.

Agreed!

I'm fascinated by the items, usually sunglasses, on the net underneath the Hulk launch.

I have a pair of cargo capris that I plan on wearing to US... I can put all my stuff in them, but the biggest worry I have is my eyeglasses... I don't want to lock them in some locker, because I CANT SEE without them, but I hate putting them in my pocket as I am afraid they will get broke or at the minimum bent (that has happened to me before)....

I know I am not the only one to wear glasses... what does everyone else do with them?

If you are worried about them, get one of those cords that you attach to the back of each arm, so you can't lose them but I don't think it is an issue.

For me, the biggest issue I have is with loose change... I learned my lesson when I lost 2 dollars in coins over at Aerosmith in DHS and then the same happened to me RRR.

Secure all items! Indeed!

i believe the money that is collected on the rides are donated to a children's charity.



universal does not pocket it.

That's wonderful!!! How nice!

My main concern is geared towards safety though. Don't want anyone choking on a flying quarter....

I was at CedarPoint on Sunday and we girls hooked our glasses/sunglasses in our bra where they were plenty secure!! I was carrying one of those travel wallets on a strap all day and for big rides like Top Thrill Dragster, I stuffed it inside my shirt!

Leave them on your face. The odds of losing glasses on any ride is very LOW. You can always get a sport strap at any CVS or Walgreens or wherever.

I used an eyeglass cord for my glasses and my sunglasses. Tucked the sg in my t-shirt but the glasses never budged. They were new though so fit well.

I also have a cellphone sock/pouch which has a neck strap. You can put credit cards, license and phone in them pull the top tight and stick it down in the front of your t-shirt as long as it doesn't impede the harness.

Anything in regular pocket can keep the harness from closing on the hip area if you are even regular size.

And if you have anything in your front pockets and you pull the lapbar down too tight on Rockit or ROTM....ouch!
