Is it better to wear contacts or glasses on a roller coaster?

Contact lenses may be the most obvious choice for most theme park rides, but can you wear contacts on a roller coaster? Contacts will probably not fall out or get lost and break on a fast ride as glasses can. If you're not used to wearing them, the sudden switch from glasses to contacts can be intense.

If you wear contact lenses, they're unlikely to fall out or get lost on a ride like glasses might. You won't have to worry about taking them off and securing them since they will stay in your eye all day. This avoids those glasses related issues we all worry about and give you a safer way to enjoy your day.

You can on most, but you risk losing them. I always put mine in a hard case in a bumbag (fanny pack) so the restraints don't crush them. If your eyesight is bad enough you need them to enjoy the experience, try contacts or get them fitted tight and have a cord on them, which you could clip to your top.

How do I keep my glasses from flying off on roller coasters? Take them off. They most likely have a bag drop or somewhere else you can leave them. If you don't want to do this, buy a glasses strap.

Amusement Park Outfit Idea #1: If it's super hot, shorts are a great alternative. Pair with a cute tee (themed ones are always a fun idea!), and bring along a hoodie, pullover sweatshirt, or jacket for those cool early mornings and late evenings. Of course shoes are the most important part!

People with high blood pressure and/or heart conditions are warned not to ride roller coasters because of the way they tax the cardiovascular system. The adrenaline rush that roller coasters give you causes a rapid spike in your heart rate and blood pressure.

But don't skip dresses for the fear of flashing while riding roller coasters. Use medium-length dresses and wear a pair of biker shorts underneath for extra coverage. Pair your easy-breezy outfit of the day with sandals for the ultimate summer look, but avoid boots as they can make you feel uncomfortable.
