There won't be many parks you'll run into that won't allow them, but it has been known to happen. As a person who's worn glasses their whole life, I can say uve never run into any trouble in regards to bringing my glasses to parks.
Just make sure to bring a strap. I know at least Knott's Berry Farm on some rides Xcelerator and Silver Bullet I believe and I know we ran into at least one or two parks last year during our travels that didn't allow them, but I'm not sure which ones off hand.
Just to chime in, I always use straps like Robb showed- there are a few parks that sell them with branding as a nice souvenir, I know I've stocked up at Carowinds and Cedar Point in the past. Note that some straps ones that are all fabric will get ruined if they get too wet, so it can help to take them off on water rides. I also try to get glasses I know will stay on well- better for the strap to be back up than the only thing keeping them on, and note it is possible to get glasses whose arms are too thin for straps to be effective.
Usually there's no issue at all with glasses at Six Flags parks, though Kingda Ka and probably X2 require straps. Cedar Fair tends to be more uptight, though only on certain rides Maverick, Dragster and it can always vary I was fine last year at Knott's with strap, sometimes it's required for I but other times I rode without not recommended! Overseas it can vary as well- quite a few tall rides in Japan didn't allow glasses, even with a strap- Blue Fall and a smaller Intamin drop tower now that I think of it , the Togo Coaster at Sea Paradise, Vanish Point, White Cyclone, and Steel Dragon come to mind, and of course nearly everything at Fuji-Q.
Be mindful that even with a strap that your glasses will probably come off on Kingda Ka. Mine sure did and they were on tight! However, be careful where you store it.

Having worn glasses for years, I have been to theme parks both with them and with contacts in, both of which have their benefits and their own challenges.
Here are my thoughts to hopefully help you make your decision on how to deal with poor eyesight at theme parks. The fear kicks in though when you think about those thrill coasters. This means you have to remove your glasses and be unable to properly see for the duration of the ride.
There is also the issue of where to put them. You can keep them in your pocket but you run the risk of them being bent or broken during the ride or due to the restraints, even with a case. If you are allowed to keep your glasses on, this makes life a lot easier. Most glasses, if properly fitted, will not fall off your head during a ride, even those more extreme ones. If I wear glasses to ride, I will hold onto them with one hand while going round the track just in case.
Another trick for wearing glasses on rides is to invest in a good glasses strap. Some will altogether refuse to let you bring them on a ride at all. If you are able to keep your glasses on during the ride and keep them secured to your body somehow, this is probably the best option, especially if you are used to wearing glasses all day.
When you first get your contacts, your doctor will warn you to keep your contacts away from any water. There are different kinds of chemicals, viruses, bacteria, and other things that can attach themselves to your contacts, and in turn, attach themselves to your eyes, giving you an eye infection or worse. Contact lenses may be the most obvious choice for most theme park rides, but can you wear contacts on a roller coaster?
Contacts will probably not fall out or get lost and break on a fast ride as glasses can. You have to work at putting your contact lenses in just right. Now add fast rides, wind rushing in your face, and water being splashed here and there. Your eyes are sure to get irritated and dried out. What's new New posts New profile posts Latest activity.

Thread starter zazobo Start date Mar 2, For those of us who are unfortunate enough to have to wear specs, what do you tend to do on coasters?
I can't wear contact lenses so that option's out, but I would really nice to be able to actually SEE during rides.. I'm taking a trip to PA next month and it'd be great to enjoy the view from the top of Shambhala. I often see people wearing glasses on rides but on the other hand I often see glasses sitting in the safety nets at parks.. Do any of you have any nifty tricks to keep glasses on?!

Social Media Team. We used to have CF glasses straps, don't know if there are any left! I impulse bought a glasses strap at Busch Gardens Tampa.
