If you are bringing full sized hoops, check them in. I bring my hoops on trains in Japan, where there is no luggage checking, and trust me I am the most annoying rider. Hoops do not fit anywhere well. They roll around and fall over unless constantly in hand. Not such a big deal on a 45 minute cross-Tokyo commute. Not fun on a long Amtrak trip.

Carry one with you coiled down and hoop with that during your layover.

If you can't check them, tie them together to make them one unit instead of a bunch of hoops with minds of their own :P

I dont think you have much to worry about. I go everywhere with my hoops and ive been on the amtrak with my hoops. They don't really care. If you can collapse them I would recommend it.
