Oh Nikki, I can understand your fears. I am going to do some thinking, there has to be a answer to your questions. I am like you I prefer scarfs & bandanas to my wig(s), they can get so hot especially in summer. I have not had anyone pull mine off as of yet, had one blow off during a wind storm. I was more upset over the loss of the scarf it was one of my favorites, poor thing is somewhere out there, probably in OZ for all I know.
Again I will do some thinking & hopefully come up with an idea or two for you or anyone else, you may have helped out someone else out there by asking this.

Nikki, while having dinner I told my husband about this wonderful site & your dilemma, he came up with a idea, you know the two sided tape we use to help hold our wigs in place when needed, experiment & see if you can use it with your bandana's, so its not evident it's there but will hold in place, if this works you can go on all the rides you want with confidence & no worries about a bandana flying off & meeting my scarf in OZ. Just remember we may have Alopecia but Alopecia does not have us. If you like to go on rides go on rides, where there is a will there is a way. Let me know if this idea works.

You are most welcome, having a few weeks before carnival to experiment is even better. Please let me know how it works. You go little girlfriend.

Wig tape might work or clips if you have enough hair left to attach to your bandana. But I mean really if "Carnies" can't appreciate someone who is different who can? You are probably not fooling anyone by wearing a bandana, people probably assume you have some kind of hair issue so you might as well do your best to make yourself feel comfortable and then relax and "Enjoy the Ride."
