Amusement Parks : Is Is A Bad Idea To Wear Glasses On A Rollercoaster
I'm planning a coaster-riding vacation, but I don't own contact lenses and I fear for my nerdy glasses. They fit my head pretty well, but i'm still not sure what could happen at some of those velocities. ~~~ rockydil ~~~
Best Answer To Amusement Parks Question
Glasses are subject to gravity, and will fall off. If you really need them to see, and I know that I do, you should wear them with an elastic restraint. The type that is somewhat cool are called "Croakers". They are adjustable and can fit most glasses. They can be found at most sporting good stores or at good sun-glass stores. It's much better to wear your glasses so that you can see the ground as it rushes up to meet you.
All Answers To Amusement Parks Questions
Answer 1I like to wear blindfolds.....it's even more fun
Answer 2i think that could be a problem.. i dont wear glasses except for reading but id get some contact lens or atleast a strap or something to keep them around my neck.
Answer 3If you don't have a pocket to stick them in get one of those super-nerdy elastic straps, Poindexter. I say wear 'em - they make great bug shields. I would be more worried about your pocket protector falling out when you're upside down.
Answer 4Just take them off and hold them during the ride or ask the dude running it to hold them
Answer 5yes ,i think it is............when you go upside down, your glasses will fall down and it will break............waste of your money.
Answer 6Yes and that makes your glasses fly sky high and eventually fall down and break into pieces
Answer 7I suggest getting contasts, less hassel then having to take them off and not being able to see, or losing them.
Answer 8no.......... wear them snugly
Answer 9I had a pair fall off on an amusement park ride. When you get on you can usually put stuff like flipflops/stuffed animals in like a little cubby. good luck. Dont wear a hat on there either..
Answer 10Yeah I think that wearing sunglasses on a roller coaster would be a bad Idea because the would most likely fall off. My mom went on a coaster once and we didn't even go upside down but she lost her persription sun glasses.
Answer 11if anything, get the grips that will attach to the ends of you glasses and wrap around your head. my dad didn't wear anything to protect his glasses and lost them as we were dropping on Dueling Dragons. It is a bad idea to wear glasses on a rollercoaster without anything to hold onto it.

Answer 13I wear glasses and have been on many rollercoasters. There is no point going on it if you cant see the drop thats coming (the suspense is the worst). Do a test by doing hand stands or make yourself go upside down, if they fall off then dont wear them. the wind force will help them stay on your face :D
Answer 14No, it is not a bad idea. I have glasses, and I have to wear them too. I love roller coasters. You wll be fine! Have a blast!!
Answer 15i wouldnt go out and get contacts for your amusement parks.. i got contacts and they're really expensive. so unless you want to pay for the contacts then i'd just take them off and hold them, or ask someone not on the ride to hold them. You'll be fine just for the rollercoasters. But everyone keeps saying "just wear contacts!" It's not that easy. It's a starting $135 fee and $20 a box. and you'd have to schedule a seperate appointment to go get them 'fitted' i guess..
Answer 16if its a really fast coaster than the pressure from the wind will keep them there
Answer 17well duh they're gonna falll off, unless u ride kiddy coasters
Answer 18I used to take off my glasses on rides, until I found that I was getting sick from everything being blurry (this happens when I am without them and not on rides to), so I started wearing them without any problems. If you are worried about losing them, you can always get one of those straps or strings that you connect to the frames to keep them on your head or at least around your neck if they fall off.
Answer 19Do not wear your glasses on a roller coaster that has sharp turns, loops, corkscrews, or big drops. I wouldn't them on anything except maybe a drop tower. Because my friend had a cell phone on one ride and even though it was securely placed in his pocket that was velcoed it still fell out in a loop and broke to pieces.
Answer 20Take them of and put them in your pocket before you go on a roller coster. I lost my glasses on one and it took me forever and a half to find them. Just put them away before you go on and you'll be fine.
Answer 21buy contacts and forget the glasses.
Answer 22Had a kid in my youth group several years ago loose his glasses on a coaster. I would definitely not wear them.
