Stephanie lost a contact lens
So here's something you don't hear everyday. Stephanie, my fiancee, actually lost a contact lens yesterday on Millennium Force! Who thought that would happen!? We pulled in to the brake run, riding in the front seat, and she told me. I thought she was pulling my chain, but she actually lost one.
Does anyone doubt the awesome forces at work now?

Jeff - I think it's your duty as a good fiancee to get back out there and ride MF again and again until you FIND that contact lens!

Not good It appears I will have my eyes closed on the first drop as I wear contacts also. One almost came out on BKF. We will just wait and see.

My brother and I both wear contacts and we had no problems on the ride (except of course for the tears on the side of my face after I got off :))
It wasn't until we did front seat, which really gets the tears flowing. Other seats aren't as bad.

I reccommend not rubbing your eyes if you have contacts. :-) Joe has contacts, RPerz?

yes jeff i felt the same way i rode in the front back and middle...and the front is bad for eyes..i could barely keep my opened...i wear contacts but knew not to wear them
I could feel my contact falling out Sunday when we rode Raptor in the front seat. It was almost gone around the last helix, and I don't think they braked us at all on the run, and it was pure speed. I blinked, and I think I just saved it. I was worrying about it the whole day, too, because about halfway there on the turnpike it came out, and dried up since my fluid was in the trunk.
How does a glasses strap (if anyone tried one) work vs 92 MPH winds (well, it probably isn't nearly that high, but if it can pull out a contact...)
I was practicing keeping my eyes open while riding in a car. Going 65mph, I stick my head out of the window and try to keep my eyes open.
Man I hope I dont lose an eye!! Wouldnt want this to be one of those phrases you hear parents telling their kids.........."Dont ride that MF, it will pop your eye out!" LOL :)

If you make that face while your ride MF, it will freeze that way! :) Hmm, maybe I'll make that my new signature when I get sick of this one.

I do believe I mentioned to contact lens wearers they needed to be careful! When I rode it last Sunday I thought my contacts were going to fly right out of my face so I had to keep my eyes closed. Next time I went-smart cookie-sunglasses with the strap thing-
kept eyes open the entire 38 laps
(if I would have lost one of my contacts there would be no way for me to drive home!)
