ie do they get lost to space or do they dump into the troposphere?

They will realign to the magnetical lines of force.

Everyone seems to think that the "flipping" of the magentic poles is something that is almost instantanous, and that the poles vanish for a second or two when it happens.
According to the lastest theory, the flipping of the poles may take as long as 1000 years, and while they become very convoluted, they never actually disappear.

The particles are constantly leaving, recombining and being replace. It's not like a stagnant collection of particles. They would just disperse.

they will go because they have high speed (but the poles can not just flip)

They reverse charge and stay where they are.
