Flip Flops on the rides????

Can you wear flip flops on all the rides???? The reason I ask is b/c at my Six Flags you can not b/c they might fly off during the rides.
My little girls will not be walking much b/c they will be riding in stroller and I thought flip flops would be easier than shoes for them.

Any thoughts????

Most of the rides have enclosed ride cars or vehicles. The only rides that there might be a problem would be one where your feet dangle (Soarin') but as I recall, you could just take them off and leave them on the floor during the ride. My kids wore either their Crocs or flip flops for pretty much the entire time we were there.

I believe for Soarin' they make you take off flip flops and put them in the net below the seat. That's the only one I can remember

I'm a flip flop girl and the only ride I've ever taken them off for is Soarin. I just leave them on the ground and they're there when I "land".

Another flip flop girl here.

As with everyone else, I have only ever had to take my flip flops off to ride Soarin', but I just stick them in the little basket under the seat.

I've never had a problem with flip flops in the parks

the only times they've made us take them off is for the water slides in the water parks, but that's just common sense.

The cool thing about Soarin' is that you take your flip flops off and leave them on the floor where your feet were. Once you come back, you just slip your feet back in them. They never go anywhere.

They'll be fine in flip-flops, except for Soarin'.

We love our flip flops too! Wore them nearly 75% of the time on our last trip.

I have a funny story for you though! We were at another amusement park last year and as we were boarding a log ride my 4 year olds flip flop fell down into the water and was quickly floating away! The quick staff grabbed it as it "swam" its way to him! It was really funny and my daughter still talks about it!!

I thought I was buying a new pair of shoes!!

I agree with everyone else about Soarin' being the only one you need to take your flip flops off for. But in any other park, all you have to do is take the flip flops off and sit on them. Thats what we always do at Six Flags for the roller coasters.
