How do you mix glasses and rollercoasters?

Hi! This is my very first post here after joining a few months ago, and I gotta say, this is a GREAT community of folks!! I have learned so much, and it seems I just keep learning more--but, I have never seen MY question--what do those of us glasses-wearers do on rollercoasters? My adult DS and I are going in December and we both wear glasses. As a coaster rider Josh takes his glasses off; I NEVER ride coasters anymore, but have promised to go on with him , and I really NEED my specs!! So, PLEASE HELP ME!!! Thanks SO much!!

to the world of posters Donna Rae.
I take mine off and tuck my glasses inside my shirt, or in a fanny pack.

When I wore them, I took them off and put them in the bag in the front of the seat! I almost lost them on RnRC one trip, and vowed to never wear them on the coasters again!

and to the Boards!

I usually take my glasses off right before getting on the coaster and put them in a case in my bag. I'm always afraid I'm going lose them.

Hi and welcome to the boards!

You've hit on one of my many excuses as to why I won't go on some coasters, especially the ones that go upside down - of course, I'm terrified to go on them, but wearing glasses is another great excuse for me not to!

Hi and welcome to the boards. I'm not a roller coaster rider, but if I was, I'm sure I do the same thing the others have said.

I am more worried about Mark losing one of his hats

Thanks for the glasses tips!

Thank all of you guys for answering my glasses question! I kind of hoped somebody would say, "Well, you just wear this little strap around your head, and those specs will just stay put!" I should have asked BEFORE I promised Josh that I'd go on all the coasters! We pinkie-swore if he went on the plane to Orlando with me, I'd go on ALL the rides with him! Even that big ol' Yeti is gonna be a blur!! Sorry for the self-pity party--it passed--though blurry, it will still be WDW!!

DH holds them or puts them in a backpack. He only had to leave them in the little pocket on the coaster once. He won't put them in there anymore.

I wear them although I do take them off for Rockin' Rollercoaster. If you're worried about losing them get one of those glasses bands that are made to glasses on for athletes. I've never had a problem though.
