Mobile Phone when on rides

[Bobby_1970]

What do you guys usually do with your phone?

Keep it in your pocket?

Leave it at the side of the ride to collect when you get off?

I think I have usually rammed mine in my pocket and have never lost or damaged one despite riding the fastest rides. However phones are bigger these days than even a few years back.

Just wondered what most of you do?

What sort of rides are you referring to specifically? A huge number of rides in many of the Florida parks - especially the Disney parks - allow you to take bags on. The phone will be fine in your bag or your pocket for these. For many of the bigger coasters - especially those at Universal - there is a "no loose articles" rule. For these rides there are free lockers provided to leave your phone and other items. For coasters where this isn't the case I'd probably carry a phone in a zipped pocket or personal item belt (like a running belt or money belt).

The one thing I'd never do is leave a phone at the side. Even if it wasn't taken with malicious intent, just far too much risk of it going missing.

I can’t think of any rides where you leave your bag at the side. There is almost always a net to put it in or it goes by your feet

Universal have some lockers that you have to use before you enter the queue.

I'm thinking of something like "The Hulk" I guess as this is one of the more violent rides.

I don't recall the lockers when we last went and in general I stuffed my phone in my pocket and have never had an issue.

At some parks here in the UK there are areas just next to the ride, at the side you disembark, for you to leave a bag.

Can't think of a ride at WDW that doesn't allow bags on rides, so my phone goes into my bag (that is closed with either a zip or a secure drawstring so things won't come out of it during the ride). Bag then goes at my feet or in the bag that is on some ride vehicles.

At Universal with rides like the Hulk, Forbidden Journey, etc that have lockers - my phone goes into the locker.

I'd be extremely wary of leaving small valuables at the side of the ride - too much risk that it could go missing!

Also, are you able to use a GoPro type camera as long as it's secured via a strap or lanyard to your wrist?

No. I keep my bag with me.
