I've had a few over the years, of course the mayflies at Cedar Point on Magnum XL200, the front of the train was black, also got hit by a pair of sunglasses on Magnum's last airtime hills. On the late great Cylone at Astroworld Houston they had just added some new wood to the structure and the vibrations would sprinkle sawdust into the riders eyes, very irritating. I also got hit by a hat and heard the guy telling his buddy after the ride how his strap worked since he didn't lose his hat…he didn't know that he almost lost it when I thought about tossing it for him…it's a shame about Dueling Dragons, the same thing could've happened on any Rollercoaster.

My brother and I rode the Twister at Knoebel's one night, and this guy several seats in front of us was wearing a hat. My brother and I told him he'd better hang onto it, but he didn't think anything of it. During the big helix, my brother was hit in the face by the guy's hat as it went flying.

Don't ride in the back car if you don't like catching strangers stomach contents on your face(for some reason scream at SFMM makes people throw up alot and I knew better but didnt want to wait longer for the front of the train). Saw another guy come into a station of a B&M flyer with his head phones wrapped around his neck chocking him out, he eventually freed himself but I thought it was hilarious that him and everyone around him didn't realize that's a terrible idea.

I caught someone's keys in my hand while riding the Intimidator at Carowinds, and I gave them back after the ride. As you can imagine, he was very happy to get them back.

It is in the line of Raging Bull. You will see it right before you enter the first turnstile.

On a recent trip with my friend to SFA (in MD), I became "that guy who chewed gum on Roar, and it flew out of his mouth and hit someone". It was as I was going down the first drop, had my mouth open screaming and FLOOP….my gum flew out of my mouth and hit someone.
On behalf of all roller-coaster gum-chewers everywhere, I'd like to say sorry.

With the exception of the one time on Kingda Ka when I was struck in the face by dirt from someone elses jacket, I've never been hit by anything on a ride. I do not intend to ever break this streak.

Skyrush at 10:00pm you get some bugs but not as bad as CP. When at Kings Dominion i rode I-305 during the day about 7x in the rain(Which hurts but its awsome!) During one ride a kids shoe flew off and almost hit me in the back row.

Where is the box? I went there in 2010 and 2011 but didn't see it. Is it at X-Flight (which I obviously have not ridden yet)?
