israel09 Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Whats the most valuable thing you ever lost on a ride and which ride were you on? for me it was my camera (Canon Powershot A590) in may of this year. I flew out my shirt pocket that i forgot to button, coming up the hill leading into the turn around on the red racer. It looked so cool and so horrible at the same time. the physic involded made it appear to float in mid-air in front of as the coaster rose. though I couldn't it grab due the fact i was strapped down. once we leveled out it fell down into the grass at the center of turn. first thing i ever lost Quote
coaster_junky Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 did you go to lost and found and ask if they had found it durring the morning walkbacks? Quote
israel09 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 did you go to lost and found and ask if they had found it durring the morning walkbacks? lol, yeah i called on the phone for weeks asking about it, no luck, my fault though, i should've been more careful. they had to find it though because i was there yesterday and the grass down there was freshly cut,lol Quote
Fear the Four Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Two pieces of LaRosa's on Son of Beast. Were you eating on the ride? I lost a couple dollars on Vortex and some of you say nothing can fall out on there. Quote

IndyGuy4KI Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I don't think I have ever lost anything to a ride at KI. Although, when I go in I only take a few things with me, billfold, ignition key, and starting this season my cell phone. Now that I write this something will get lost. Quote

coasterguy15 Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 The most valuable thing I have lost at KI is probably just some pocket change, but nothing of major value. Quote
violakat03 Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I haven't lost anything at KI (almost lost my old Razr on Firehawk but saved it before it came all the way out of my pocket), but I've lost my BlackBerry Pearl from Gemini at CP (it was recovered) and a half carat diamond earring on Maverick (it was not recovered). Last year I lost my season pass on Mean Streak (it was also recovered). Quote
Whales_Rock Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Yeah my friends and I were walking by Vortex when two season passes fluttered down after the cars went by. We picked them up and put them on the bench hoping no one would take them and that the owners would get them back Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 It would have been better to take them to Guest Relations...too bad the pictures are not still on them, then you could have waited at the exit and handed them to their owners! Quote
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I lost my mind on Diamondback, but, in fairness, it really wasn't that valuable to begin with. Quote
rotag Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 i about lost my falsies on db one time, and cought my keys at the last second on Vortex. Quote
Justin_M17 Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I don't think i've ever lost anything at KI, although I very nearly lost my new (At the time) Samsung Rant to Diamondback. And I have a brother who somehow lost his shoe to Flight of Fear... still clueless as to how that happened. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I have a cousin who lost his shirt on a ride. LOL. I lost a camera one time it was only like $150 one and they even found it and overnighted it to my house! Quote

Philosoraptor Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 The greatest possible answer to this question would be "my virginity." Fortunately I can't claim that one. I haven't actually lost anything on a KI ride so far. Whether I can hand that to skill, luck or the fact that I have snug-fitting pockets, who knows. Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I lost my Boomerang Bay hat on Adventure Express. in 2006 Quote
PKIDelirium Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Lost my phone on Beast in 2003, don't know how, must have slid out of my pocket and out the side of the train. Realized it was fully missing after leaving the park. Drove down the next day and they pulled it out of lost and found, caked in mud and missing the battery. Quote
shark6495 Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I lost my hat and sunglasses in The Beast healix...... my mom who was riding about 3 rows behind me caught my hat (somehow i think it flew in her row and she just naturally snagged it) the sun glasses though were never heard from again...... My mom didnt know who owned the hat till after the ride Quote
buckeyemaniac Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I lost my keys on an after close test ride on DB. Luckily I could just go out to the trims and get them since I work at the park. Quote
standbyme Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 I lost my Boomerang Bay hat on Adventure Express. in 2006 The only thing that I have (permanently) lost is also my hat on Adventure Express...the stupid thing is that I took it off and sat on it so that I WOULDN'T lose it...after the ride I forgot about it and got up and left it...I went back a little later but it never turned up. Ironically my friend also lost his hat on Adventure Express...we watched it rot on one of the tunnel rooftops for 2 seasons before it either blew off or was removed. SO, Adventure Express may get knocked as not much of a coaster but obviously it knows how to eat hats! Quote

deb Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Last summer I lost an AASi (AA= moderate color, Si= slightly included) pear shaped Tanzanite stone from a ring last summer at Boomerang Bay. Man was I miffed! Tanzanite is more expensive than diamonds, of ANY color... And the first time I got a back seat on Diamondback, my husband lost his indestructible (water, dirt, etc) cell phone... We sometimes see an orange phone in the acrylic box... but my bets are on it being in the splashdown, prob still working...... deb Quote
violakat03 Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Forgot that my husband caught someone's driver's license on Skyhawk on Thursday at CP. He saw it fall, grabbed it, and stood at the exit until he matched a face to the picture. Walked up to him and said "are you Andrew?" The guy was pretty creeped out at first. Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 I lost my wallet, with my badge and my security card last year. It was in Action Theater though, and I got a call from the KI police before I left the park telling me it was recovered! And I lost one of my kids at the county fair once, if that counts..... He was also recovered, thank God!.... Quote
