Sergeant Pepper Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I'm going up to Cedar Point tomorrow thru Friday and Thursday will be a platinum pass ride night for TTD and Magnum, and I was wondering if my glasses would be safe on TTD if I wore a glasses strap? I wasn't really sure where to post this, so if I posted this in the wrong spot, sorry. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Pepper Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 I really wish that they stored items in the station like any other ride. I'm sure there's a reason they don't, but I wish I knew they held prescription glasses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I would suggest wearing glasses- especially at night. Mosquitos in your eyes at night= no FUN. I lost my camera on Firehawk once....... I never saw it again....... Too bad you didn't take a picture of it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 The exit of the ride is not the same as the entrance, which is why they do not keep items in the station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTheater Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 TTD as well as Maverick, Power Tower and Sky Hawk require a tight fitting "athletic" strap to where glases / sunglasses. Straps are avalible at CP gift shops for about 2 dollars I believe and come in two different styles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Haha, SWEET! I decided last week on a whim to go to the Point this coming Thursday, since I will be at the Indy Speedway Friday, Moving Saturday, and back to the Speedway on Sunday. My reason for going was to get final rides on Disaster Transport, and had NO idea about the Platinum Pass night for TTD. Some things I just luck into. EDIT: I wear contacts, so I wear sunglasses during the day and shooting glasses at night for vision on the rides and to keep from losing my contacts due to the wind, and the strap I use on both hold them just fine on TTD.

Tanna Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Transitions Sports glasses are the best thing I ever had. I look like Rocket J. Squirrel but the rides are so much better I don't care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Just remember, there is a park in California where you are knott allowed to wear glasses on the coasters. Apparently, eye protection is knott considered important there. I've never understood that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gad198 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 ^ I believe that Knotts has relaxed their policy on that issue. Early last year the only coaster you couldn't ride with glasses (with straps) was Xcelerator. Apparently that has changed since then, as it is has been reported (within the last two weeks) elsewhere that the only two rides that disallow glasses to be worn are Pony Express and their top spin. It sounds like Knotts has taken notice of some of the complaints and is making adjustments accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
