Can anyone tell me if they still sell the Cedar Point sunglasses straps in the park? They're the old style with the black rubber piece to tighten/loosen them. I bought them about 10 years ago and it's the best strap I've had. I'd post a pic but I'm not very tech savvy and I'm not sure how. I was hoping to get a new one when I come, just wasn't sure if they still have the same ones.
We've had several of them and only had one break. We've lost a few. I think the gift shop across from the Mine Ride area carried them. We've noticed the price for glasses straps varies widely within the park. In one shop they'll have plain ones for $6 and then in another they have Cedar Point straps for $2, or $4.
The fat, stretchy Cedar Point logo bands are 3 bucks and some change. I know this because every time I go I have to buy a new one, and not because they don't work. But because I either fail to bring one with me, or leave the one I did bring way back there in the car. I have a nice assortment in different colors. They sell them in every coaster exit shop, and other places too.
I never have either. Well, I take that back. One morning I rode Maverick two or three times with my sunglasses on, and there was no problem. Then on the next trip I had a grouchy op who insisted I remove them, and this was after we were locked in. So I had no choice but to try to get them in my pocket and when we got back to the station they were gone. I was just glad they were my gas station sunglasses instead of my Maui Jims.
Now it's the rule, so there's no way around it. Best be having a strap or be ready to stuff them down your shirt.
