I'm always a little curious as to how most enthusiasts manage their belongings when they go to theme parks. What do you usually bring, and where do you put your stuff when you go on rides?
A. I bring my phone, the park map, my sunblock, my glasses, my refillable drink bottle, snacks, a lunch, a diary, a paperback, some layers of clothes for the evening, my headphones, my meds, and my lucky teddy bear. So of course I need to bring my backpack/bag/purse to carry it in. I store my bag in a locker at the start of the day and return to it occasionally OR I carry my backpack/bag/purse everywhere and stow it in a locker or a bin on the platform for each ride I go on.
B. I only bring what I can fit in a fanny pack/bum bag.
C. Whatever I have I hold in my hands, even on the ride.
D. I go minimalist and only carry what will fit in my pockets.
E. I always go naked and outrun park staff when necessary.
F. Other.
For me it is almost always D: I prefer to carry only what I can fit in my pockets. But once I had all the change in my pockets fly everywhere while riding Tatsu -- happy that it was only coins I was losing that time, I changed my approach and bought what I call my roller coaster shorts: they are basically what are called cargo shorts here in the States (shorts with lots of big pockets), but the key is that all of the pockets have zippers. This is the system that works best for me.
