I am curious how do folks hang on to their backpacks on Rock N Roller coaster? DH thinks we need to just leave it in a locker.


Thanks

I stuff it down by my feet. I usually try to loop a Strap thru one leg, though you really don't need to. It won't go anywhere. I put it sort of under my legs. I do this with many rides. TT,SM, TT Etc. But do be careful if you go on Dinosaur. They have these netted bags in front of your seat to put your bags, I did not see them & put my bag on the floor forgeting to attach to my leg. Well that ride bounces you around a lot & my backpack almost went out the side. Lucky that my 8 yr old Nephew felt it by his feet and stopped it form going out the side. Now I know to secure it in front of me in the Net.
There are no nearby lockers, except at front of MGM. WHen we went to Seaworld on Kraken you can't bring any loose articles, they have lockers for .50 cents to put your stuff in while you ride.

My daughter hangs the thing over her chest instead of her back, then pulls the restraint down.

You can put whatever you want on the floor of Rock N Roller Coaster, it can't go anywhere because RnR only has positive G's. That means the loops and inversions only pull things down.

For everthing else, I just step on the bag, but I usually never bring any backpack with me, I found it nicer to be able to enjoy the ride than worry about holding onto a strap.

I do the "one leg through a strap" thing and put it on the floor of most rides. I, my leg and the pack are still with us. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

I hold it between my knees on all the roller coasters. Never lost a backpack yet! Make sure all the zippers are zipped up! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

I also put it on the floor and loop one of the straps over my leg. That always seems to work on any of the attractions.

We do the same thing-put it on the floor and put our leg through one strap. Works every time!

On RNRC, I put the bag on the floor since I know it won't leave me, however, it does always end up on the right side of the car. not a big deal if you're riding with some one you know, but I don't think it would be a problem if it happened with a stranger.
BTMR, i wrap it around my wrist. Last september, i forgot to wind it around my leg and the bag left the train, I seen it flying out! I don't know how I did it, but I reached out and caught it! Wow! I was impressed with myself!

Space Mountain, i wrap it around the, what do you call it?? The bar? Anyway, it doesn't move that way either.

Looks like "leg through the strap" is the winner!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Gee, I always thought I thought that idea up!! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Hi Folks! Is there any rides you wouldnt recommend going on with a backpack?

Thanks - Jeff

I always do a leg through each strap and then tuck in under near the seat. I don't want it to go flying sideways and hit someone's leg, even if it is attached to me. And I only forgot it was there once. [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Little difficult getting out of those cars with a backpack (even if it was a mini one) wrapped around your legs.
