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.
