How do you secure your phone on a rollercoaster?

“How to store cell phones? ” Hip sack is a great option... I have seen both men and women wear them...they will hold all personal items easily... keys, money, baseball hats, phones, sun glasses, etc...all of these items have been known to fly off / out of pockets while on certain rides.



To secure your phone on an extreme rollercoaster in 2026, the most effective method is using zippered or buttoned pockets, ideally on cargo shorts or athletic pants. Many "hardcore" riders prefer dedicated running belts or fanny packs that sit flush against the waist and under the shirt, ensuring the device remains secure even during inversions or high G-force maneuvers. If your clothing lacks secure pockets, many modern theme parks provide free or paid lockers at the ride entrance. You should strictly avoid holding your phone in your hand or keeping it in loose pockets, as it can easily become a high-velocity projectile, endangering yourself and others. Some 2026 riders also use "phone leashes" or lanyards that tuck into their shirts, though most parks officially recommend that all loose items be stored in lockers or secure bags for the duration of the ride.

No one wants to see a cell phone go flying on a roller coaster - most of all the people in the phone's path, who now are in danger of injury from getting hit. That's why most parks ban visitors from carrying phones and other loose objects while on high-speed or intense rides, such as roller coasters.

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 your bag in a dedicated pouch located inside your ride vehicle. Many attractions with jostling or rapid movements incorporate a mesh pouch inside the vehicle into which you may place your bags. Some pouches may be smaller than your bag.
