Glasses at Kings Island?

Question

I'm going to Kings Island for a school field trip and I wear glasses. I need to wear them to Kings Island so I cant leave them at home.They might fall off while I ride the roller coaster. I don't want to put them in those little boxes where you put you things while you ride the roller coaster. I don't want to wear eye glass retainers either. I can't put them in my pocket or else they'll probably get crushed. I don't have enough time to get contact lenses because the trip is in a month. Any suggestions on what I can do?

Answer 1

I would ask your optometrist how quickly you would be able to get contacts. Some people's vision isn't that bad so they can wear the ones you can get at Walmart, like Acuvue and o2 Optix (my brother wears those, his vision isn't too bad). Me on the other hand, I have to wear toric lenses for astigmatism and I have to order mine online. Look into it and see what you can do. I wear contacts to amusement parks because it is much easier.

If you can't get them in time, buy a sturdy glasses case, like the plastic ones with the felt lining you get at the Walmart vision center. Wear cargo pants with side pockets that button or zip, so you can put your glasses case in there and they won't fall out on the ride. I have shorts and pants that I bought specifically to wear to amusement parks with button or zip pockets because I like the "aggressive thrill" rides and coasters, and I do not want to lose my stuff.

Answer 2

Glasses & Roller Coasters.

I have to wear glasses as well (and I don't have the option of getting contacts). I wear my glasses while riding! Believe it or not, "real" glasses fit way better than sun glasses. Therefore, they usually stay on your face. I love roller coasters, and I have NEVER lost a pair (and, I've been riding coasters for 25 years with glasses).

Now, sometime, they tell you to take your glasses off (not that common), and it needs to be stuffed somewhere. Here are a couple of suggestions:

(I go to Parks with) a f***y-pack (ugly, but very useful)

Wear shorts with cargo pockets (glasses are much more resilient against crushing than you think)

You can wear krokies (glass restraints -- if you're nervous, it's worth it)
