I have found that they are not quite big enough for a backpack. So, what I do is put the backpack on the floor of the ride vehicle and put my feet through the straps. This has always been perfectly sufficient for securing the pack for me and it is what I've seen many, many other people do.

For most of the rides, you'll likely be able to just leave the bag around your waist, but for the ones that have a lap bar or over the shoulder harness that would make that uncomfortable, you'll be able to either keep your bag in a small storage area or just down at your feet.

I have a cross body, satchel type purse that's small that I want to bring but I don't want to purchase a locker to ride.” Wear a fanny pack or use a VERY secure pocket that zips closed. The coasters are intense. A cross body bag would make it very difficult to secure the harnesses on the rides.

Keep the bag on the seat next to you or the floor in front of you. For attractions that are slow-moving or fully enclosed or have spacious vehicles, you can bring you bag onto the ride and plop it down next to you for the duration of the experience.

If you just have a small purse or bag, some of the rides will have a pouch or place to put that while you ride. Sometimes there are cubbies or shelves to place your bags as well. If you have large items, I recommend getting a locker.

In your pocket or stored in your bag will almost always be the safest place for you to store your wallet, phone, keys, and other small things.
