My bad. The way I understood it was that he was trying to take POV's.

My mistake, I didn't clarify that. My camera is always in my pocket on the rides. I don't try to take POVs on rides. I'm too afraid that I'd lose my camera anyway.

Regardless, cameras are not allowed on rides, with a few small exceptions (Sky Trek Tower, Columbia, Railroad).

Theres two different definitions of having a camera on a ride going on right now.

One is literaly having it on the ride, and just securing it in a pocket.
The other is using it to On-Ride Pictures/POV's

He's definatley asking how to secure a camera in a pocket or by some other method.
Definatley invest in some cargo shorts with buttons or zippers, im iffy on velcro sometimes.

If it is in my pocket for the duration of the ride, how is it any different from something like my wallet or cell phone? I am not using it to take on ride pictures, and therefore it poses no more of a threat than any of the other items in my pockets.

^Yeah your fine...no one is that much of a nazi to make you take your camera out of your pocket. And no one will even know its in your pocket.

Even if you were to take it out and take a picture, no one would see.

...its not a big deal if its secured in your pocket.

Update for anyone wanting to use the Cell Phone charging stations. The sign on it says it cost $2.00 but there is no charge to use it. It is 100% Free. In fact there is no place to put your money in or a place to swipe your credit card. It will charge your phone for 15 min then stop and you would need to unplug it and plug it back in again to charge it some more.

If a park employee or policy is going to prohibit someone from doing this when lines are hours long in the heat of the summer, you better bet I will be all in guest relations' faces until that policy changes!!! It would be a shame if it got out that Six Flags values their dollars over the safety of their guests..... I understand this policy for backpacks, fanny packs, whatever, but including water bottles and/or sandals in this is grounds for pissing me off! As for stuff in pockets, at least for guys, cargo pants with zipper pockets are around 15 bucks at Kohls, just buy a couple of those, they work wonderful!!

I'm also not fond of these new parking prices! It's ridiculously overpriced, i will be strongly encouraging everyone I know to find ways around this one. I look at it as this, if the park is going to start stealing my money like this in the future, the money i spend within the park will decrease! It's as simple as that!! :?



Guest relations will just sit there and watch your mouth run for no reason.. All they can do is take down your compliant. You have to contact corp. if you want the no loose articles poliy change. Guest services doesnt make the park rules.

Couple of things. At King's Island on hot days there will be a person with disposable cups and a 10 gallon thing of water half-way through the roller coaster lines. SFGAm is just gonna sell lemonade and snow cones in the line would be my guess, unless I missed something. Another way for them to make money, you can't have your water bottles in line so if you're thirsty enough you'll buy a $6 cup of water with a 1/2 teaspoon lemon flavor in it, a.k.a. lemonade. So, I have determined that there are 2 reasons behind ride lockers, people's stuff would get stolen and they got tired of hearing complaints, and more $$$$$$ for the park!!
And from the first page, music. I have been thinking the same thing for years now. The music used to be awesome and actually fit the theme of the section of the park. I think it was just ambient audio tracks without words even, which was still pretty tight. This new top 40 crap sucks.
