Items On Roller Coasters

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
Postby LC3 on July 22nd, 2005, 4:20 pm
When I was younger, I would put my money inside my shoes and left items such as walkmans or portable cd players at home.

Now, I either place my walet, keys, and cell phone in my cargo short pockets or leave them with someone in my group who is not going to ride.

I sit on my hat. I put sunglasses in my zipper pocket.

Part of the benefit of tighter pants is that you don't need all those zippers and buttons and whatnot. Wallet, Cell-phone, in the pocket, and off you go.

Word from the wise tho:
If you think you're cool enough to put buttons or pins on your jacket, be careful when going on V2. I lost several buttons off my jacket during that ride. The restraint pushes them and makes them loose. I'm pretty sure this would happen on Vu too. It just so happens that I actually lost my bullwinkle pin on V2...
What you don't understand you can make mean anything.

I used to put everything in my deep pockets (cell phone, keys, wallet) for about three years. I've never had a problem with that. But back in June I rode Deja Vu, and for the first time ever, my cell phone fell out. (On the first tower) The funny thing is right before we got on, my friend asked me to hold his cell phone because stuff allways stays in my pockets. Ironicly, his cell phone survived... :cry:

So all in all, don't relly on deep pockets like I did.

And it would suck even more if that cell phone landed on someone's head.

People really need to secure their stuff.

Some of you need to stop stalking me. :shock:

The year S:UF opened my cell phone fell off my back pocket ( pretzal loop ) making me hold onto it the entire ride...dont ask. After that me and my friend always rented lockers ( they didnt really have the boxes then ). We tried to leave it in our shoes, take them off and leave them on the side of the station but the ride operator told us "do it again and I'll throw it away!" So after that we rented lockers...sucks but worth it ::I guess :( ::

Now they have boxes but I barely even go to the park now. :?
No matter how hard it is...Never EVER give up. The real failure is those who dont try.

Climbing hook's for my keys, and a good secured pocket for my cell phone and sunglasses.

Cellphone roughly 300 dollars, sunglasses 150 dollars, keys--well thats my ride home.

And S:UF has stolen many a items from me.

The only thing I ever bring to the park is maybe my camera bag and pass. I wear cargo shorts with zippers and velcro so I don't worry about that stuff. I usually hold my camera, or tape the ride. :wink:

Jon you are officially a Moron! I have a couple of questions for you. First off Why in the hell would you buy a piece of cut up track from ShockWave? Do you not realize that ride was the biggest pile of junk ever created? I hope you drop that on your toe! My next set of questions are as follows, Why do you "Coaster Dorks" Think that the world revolves around you and the rules don't apply to you? The rules state No loose articles which includes cameras and NO ONRIDE FOOTAGE. Don't you ever think of what could happen if it slips out of your hand during a ride? I hope the Operators catch you and they stop the ride and security gets called. Then I hope you get a 1 way ticket out of the park and then they can watch you cry as they cut your season pass into a million pieces!!!

SfgamFreak03 I couldn't have said it better myself. I totally agree. Your video should be taken off putfile and burned. :twisted:

First, You people REALLY need to chill. They won't cut up a season pass for shooting a video. People bring cameras on rides all of the time and they won't stop a ride for such a rediculous reason. I have been told to put the camera away once and I did, no biggie.

Second, was Steven Wilson (of greatamericaparks.com) a moron when he got 3 of PGA's Sky Whirl cages? Then I should'nt be a moron for getting a piece of Shockwave's track.

Third, you should'nt clog up the forums with complaints. If you have a problem with what I do, you should PM me. What do you think Aero was talking about in the Forum Attitude topic?

Lastly, my video isn't going anywhere unless SFGAmtells me to do so.

BTW, What the hell does my piece of Shockwave have to do with items brought on rides. Stay on topic.
