HAHA, Sense of sewing my fingers togeter!

And look like a dork while walking around the park

My best advice is definitely cargo shorts.

Zipper pockets. I dont trust buttons lol

You can't have enough carabiners.

Leave the cellphone at home or in the car!

Terp aka Luddite on some things...and who is always amazed at how much paraphernalia people bring to parks (and then rent lockers to store!)

Echoing everyone else pretty much: Cargo Shorts (Zippers). I'd leave the cell phone in the car if possible. The less you take into the park, the better.

I am 15 I get dropped off, and leaving it at home my mom would mad if she couldn't get a hold of me she's afriad I will fall out of a coaster or get kidnapped (like anybody wouldn't notice any of those two)!

while you do have a point, you go to a park for fun anyway; why not look silly in the prosses???

-this coming from a man of weird taste.

EDIT: found a shot with my modified shorts.

If you fall out of a coaster I don't think she would be able to get a hold of you anyway.

STAPLES!!!

Just look for a midget in wrestling tights running around the park with a staple gun, (not my joke, the park will be promoting this during the Haunt) and ask him to help you out.

Depending on whether we are going to Boomerang Bay that day, I either wear:

1) Swimsuit (board shorts) with deep pockets

2) Cargo shorts with deep pockets

I leave my wallet in the car. I leave my keys in the car. In a Ziploc bag in my pocket, I carry cellphone, spare key for car, cash. (Ziploc bag is in case we do a water ride to protect contents.) Streamlined.

That's a good way to get your car stolen.

I used a waist pack last season, but I may look into cargo shorts this year.

Nice line!

(She might read about you on the findadeath forum though.)

I wear cargo shorts. Or I usually hand it to someone else with me that won't ride any coasters.

Yes because if you fall out of a roller coaster, you will be able to call your mom.

As other people have said, cargo shorts are the way to go.

I have several pairs of shorts that for several reasons I find more comfortable than the cargo shorts I have. Unfortunately those shorts didn't have zippered pockets. So what I did was put iron-on velcro on the inside edge of the pockets of those shorts, and that worked very successfully for me all season last year!

And back in my day, we didn't have cell phones. So when our parents dropped us off at the park, they gave us a time to meet them at the pick up area... and if we didn't meet them at the designated time, there was hell to pay!

I have never had a problem with losing personal belongings on a roller coaster or other ride. However, I would also suggest cargo pants, or at least pants with very deep pockets.

Yeah, the only time I ever had an issue at all, was opening season of DB, when the restraint stapled me after the 2nd drop, and ended up pushing the V Cast button on my touchscreen phone and bought some goofy Black Eyed Peas song without my knowledge! LOL The only time I can see a cell in the pocket of a pair of jeans or jeanshorts being a potential loss item is if its something HUGE like the Droid X.

^ LOL! Was it at least a good song?

Quoted for GOOD IDEA. I might get one pair of cargo shorts, do this, and designate them my park pants. [/showing my age]

This topic amuses me for many reasons.

When shopping for skirts, I always look for that 'perfect coaster skirt'. My family members shop with that in mind too

I try to buy things with zipper pockets. My usual park skirt has seen better days, so, I have plans on modifying one with iron-on velcro in the pockets. My husband usually wears cargo pants, but I do need my phone. I keep a baggy with me at all times too, in case it rains or I decide to get wet.

Velcro and plastic. The answer to all of life's problems.

So is the 'perfect coaster skirt' short? That could be an intresting sight on some coasters!

Don't forget that if someone is kidnapped, odds are they won't be making any phone calls either.
