I wear contacts whenever I go to a theme park because I'm afraid my glasses would fall off when i go upside down. My contacts have never come out. So I think its fine.

Ooh, good thread, I was wondering this too! I'm getting contacts next month then going to Disneyworld about a week after. I think my dad wore them the last time we went and I don't remember him having any problems, so you should be fine :smile:

They're absolutely fine and they certainly won't just come out of your eyes - just watch out because the air rushing past them can dry them out a little which makes them uncomfortable. Just blink heavily a couple of times and it's all good. :smile:

I've worn them when I went to Thorpe Park
Tbh glasses are more likely to fall out than contact lenses!
And if they do then it's not the end of the world as long as you have a spare pair to pop in :smile:

I go to themeparks several times a month and always wear my contacts. They are perfectly fine :smile:

The only thing i would advise is to take some eyedrops with you as your eye may dry out and become umcomfortable.

they stay in fine
why wouldnt they?
the only thing I found was on the aerosmith ride in disneyland paris, it goes from 0-60 in 2 seconds or something ridiculous and it makes your eyes water but had no effect on my contacts.

yes

Contact lenses are fantastic for theme parks simply because you don't have to worry about your glasses coming off.

If you're not supposed to wear your contacts in a given situation, it's normally because you're in an environment with very dry air (eg. an aeroplane) or because there's a high chance of getting dirty water stuck behind them (eg. swimming). Theme park rides don't cover any of these.

oops... I'm blatantly gonna end up with a horrific eye infection, I wear mine everywhere, they've been in my pockets, glasses of water, swimming pools, planes, the floor... I do wash them sometimes when I can be bothered to take them out. Optician says my eyes are fine though.

You can wear them the only thing you have to beware of is your eyes drying because of the speed you'll be travelling through the air at which can be uncomfortable. If in doubt buy some eye drops which can be used when wearing lenses
