First-hand experiences with loose articles??
This Monday I was riding the Force in 6-2. As we flew down the first drop, I saw a black object come flying at me. After a closer look, I realized that it was someone's sunglasses from the front of the train. Now I know why they stress not to wear glasses w/o straps. It was somewhat funny actually to see them. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

A guy a few trains ahead of me was unloading when he asked who had lost their cell phone. He had caught it on the 1st drop and managed to hold on to it.
One time this kid near the back came into the station with a pair of glasses in his hands. He caught them while his hands were in the air unexpectedly!! No one claimed it from the train though, although someone in front of him must have lost them.

My friend and I were riding and after the pullout of the first over-banked turn his retainer flew out of his mouth.
During MF Media Day last season they gave us paper "press looking" papers to fill out with our names and wear around our necks. Hmmm..paper, around necks, 93mph, you could guarantee every ride to see at least 2 or 3 of those babies FLYING off people going down the 1st hill. I lost mine and (no lie) 2 rides later ended up finding it on the floor of the same car we were in before!:)
Last year during a.m. ERT time a bottle of sunscreen went FLYING (I mean this thing was booking!) past our train right after the 2nd hill. When we got back to the station I asked who lost a bottle of sunscreen and some woman 3 or 4 cars back said it was hers and where was it?
TOO funny but thank goodness it didnt hit anyone!

Many times, but it's more stressful if you're the person losing the object, I remember going to IOA it's inaugarual (sp?) season with the Dodge Group (big bash on the third day where the park closed early and reopened just for us an hour later), and riding Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls and this pass I had to wear around my neck came off. Thank God the person in the back seat caught it!

The second time I rode it somebody underestimated the FORCE'S Power and speed and his hat flew off two seats ahead of me and hit somebody toward the back. How do I know that? Cause when we slowed down and came into the station, well. . . let's just say some words were flying around that station.

Earlier this year I was wearing a jacket and had my Magnum counter hooked on to the end of it. When the train was going down the first drop it(counter) flew up and almost hit me in the face.

I saw someones hat float in front of my face for about 3 seconds on the top of the third hill. I reached up a snatched it. Gave it back to him when the ride was over. He was quite happy.

On July 4th, I walked out of the Mantis photo building just in time to see a black "floppy" hat fly off someones head as they headed down the first hill of the Big bug and it landed right on top of a passer-by's head. The guy jumped forward and looked around trying to figure out WHO had slapped the hat on his head. Everyone around was clapping and laughing. Once he was told what happened, he gave us all a bow and left the hat with one of those phallic-looking banana cart vendors.
(Oh... someone mentioned getting a photo of someone with a burger upside his/her head.... so, to the pic ops, have you ever seen a pic of someone vomiting or with vomit all over them? I always try to look for one, but I've never seen one. It obviously happens, I mean we've all been there when ride ops look more like firemen with those boots on carrying hose pipes. Just curious. I'd pay to see one of those! LOL!!! :) )
