If you disregard the warnings and take keys or cell phones on the rides at Six Flags Great America, chances are good you'll visit lost and found before you go home.

Drop a phone on Raging Bull? A shoe on Deja Vu? Park's staff won't take your losses lightly.

Thats nice to know if I "leave" my phone somewhere. But seriously if my phone falls out of my pocket on Raging Bull it wont be coming back in 1 piece.

Actually a couple of my friends have lost their phones on raging bull and they came back in one piece and working. I was surprised that the phones survived too.

I was a bit surprised but happy when my stolen stuff got returned. This is good that SFGAm is doing all this.

I remember once seeing a cell phone drop from RB. These kids went to pick it up and waited for someone to claim it.

I remember I was waiting in line for B:TR and like 3 people in front of me found a RAZR someone dropped. They left the line and went to the ride exit and waited for someone to claim it.

I really dont see how a phone can survive a 150 foot fall onto concrete. But I guess it has happened.

My phone fell from the first tower on Deja Vu last summer. I went home and bought a new phone, and a week later, my old phone came in one piece. It worked just fine, only a few scratches. You just have to believe sometimes.

My phone fell out of my pocket when I was getting up out of the seats on American Eagle last year (tight pants, small pockets). I had played a game of DDR and thought I had left it on the machine there (i usually empty my pockets before playing). I didn't notice my phone was gone for about an hour. So we went back and traced my steps. Nothing at the DDR machine, did someone steal it? So I went up to American Eagle and asked about a cell phone, described it, and I guess the ops have like, a bin or something where they keep all the stuff they find before the end of the day. I got my phone back right away. It was pretty much the coolest thing ever, because without it i wouldn't have had a way home.

I left my cell phone at a DDR machine too, and my wallet! But thankfully nothing was stolen, I left for like 30 minutes, and I noticed when I was done eating some food.
