Lol I saw a few people on Saturday use them.

Someone even took out their phone on Kingda Ka and caused the ops to cancel that train's launch and bring the train back into the other side of the station.

That took a while. Let's see how long it takes before all other parks follow this trend.

This is a tragedy for all of humanity. How is natural selection supposed to work now.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

They'll just take their phones out instead, and then the ride will be stopped, and then they will be banned for a year.

Personal coaster count as of 3/2025 -- 222
"500" perhaps by the end of this year.
I will be a Thai citizen if possible in a few years.

no, they're banned at SFMM as well, when Oscar and I were there a few weeks ago we looked over the park policy (y'know, lunch talk) and found that selfie sticks are in fact banned from SFMM.

That being said, as it's southern cali, nobody really gives a rat's ass about policy

Oh that sucks. Selfie sticks sound perfect when you film the riders (of course with a permission) like theme park adverts!

:(
