Would a roller coaster barf bag be used the way a horse's feed bucket is used? I have this vivid picture in my mind of a roller coaster rider with a bucket placed securely over his head. > > > > > > Ell"I hope the barf bags would be bigger than those found on airplanes"myruh > > > > The reason I suggested that is because a friend of mine said he was riding in the front seat when the girl next to him lost her lunch at high speed. Everyone behind them was, well, not pleased. Since he was beside her and not behind her, he was the only one aboard still smiling. I wonder if a barf bag would have helped. > > Howard > > A rollercoaster barf-bag couldn't be loose, that's for sure. Imagine a full one flying at you at a high speed from ahead, or falling on you as you walked below. Blech. Plastic bags with the bottom fastened to the front or side of the car with a long neck to reach the mouth could work. Hopefully they'd be zip-lock, or something, though, or it'd be the same thing all over again. > > Burger"Why is motion sickness so entertaining?"King
I think the best solution to the age-old coaster barf bag question would be to have not a bag per se, but more of a vacuum. Some type of suction devise that is triggered by the tossing o' the cookies. It could be something similar to what (I'm sure) they have on space shuttles.
