Lockers

Does anybody know what you have to do to rent a locker for the day?

You go to that terminal box. Select your language. Jam money into the machine. Pick a locker number. Prints a ticket and go to your locker.

[twixmix0303]

Yes, it gives you a passcode on your receipt that you use to open your locker. You can use a credit card or cash to rent a locker, and you can open it as many times as you'd like throughout the day.

Above post explains it nicely, but what I wouldnt give for one bank of standard coin op lockers somewhere in the park. So much simpler (and CHEAPER) when I get something in the park, and want to stow it for the rest of the day without having to go all the way back out to the car and I dont want to pay like the $5 or whatever it is for those electronic lockers, would much rather pay the $0.75-$1 and be done with it.

Also that way you dont have to stand in a possible line to reserve/open your locker.

I think when lockers accept Credit Cards, that's the first sign that those lockers just might cost a bit to much.

[InsaneNewman]

Aren't the one-time use lockers by Superman only a dollar? You could use those to hold stuff all day without opening!

[Carlo]

You do not need coin-operated lockers to do that. SFGAM would just have to program the Electronic ones that way. But I doubt they would because they make $5 vs. $1.

But aren't the superman lockers only 2 hours?

[Papas]

The S:UF lockers are 2 hours, the other ones are all day.

[twixmix0303]

Hey, that must be why they won't let you keep your stuff in the station. You have to put it in the locker before you get into line, then take it out after the ride. Most people don't mind holding they're stuff on a ride like Bull, but they're very cautious when it comes to Superman and are willing to fork over another dollar.

[rct2wizard360]

On Bull' most people use them crazy boxes by the exit, and on Superman it must depend on the ride ops because yesterday people were taking off ALL loose articles and put them on the other side of the station.

[Papas]

......and after that they came back and made them ride with it.

[joiclarrissa]

That makes me angry. making people use lockers on S:UF is just a way to get more money from people . I will never use those lockers.

[TwistedSTEEL666]

I've used those other lockers at SFGAm before, the ones by the bathrooms I think. However, I didn't use it last year, and I regret that. I did use them the year before and it cost $5 I think, are they still $5 bucks?

[Papas]

They dont make people use the lockers anymore you can ride with your loose articles.

[joiclarrissa]

Wow I didnt know that. Sorry.

[twixmix0303]

You've always been able to ride with loose articles. You just couldn't keep them in the station. If you wanted to put them down, you had to pay for the lockers.

[w00dland]

This is why I also throw my loose articles outside the entrance behind the giant pillers. I never really carry anything that valuable and nothing has ever been stolen.

[Papas]

No when the ride opened you were REQUIRED to get a locker, no loose articles were allowed, later they stopped making people get lockers and made em ride with their articles if they decide not to get a locker.

why didn't they ever put boxes in Superman's station? they have it on almost every other major ride I can think of.

Funny story...

Last year on SUF (I forget when, but it was a rainy day, with on and off rain), I was carrying an umbrella, so I go to get on Superman, but first I deposit my umbrella on the unload side of the station i a far off corner out of the way and go to get on the ride, I get on and a few seconds later they are asking everyone on the train if that umbrella in the corner is theirs, and when they came to me, I claimed it, and they gave me a spiel about how nothing can be left on the unload platform, something about it getting stolen (a real crock of BS), so I offered to carry it on the ride with me (I could have done it), but of course no, they dont let you do that for obvious reasons and it has to be left with a non rider, so they hand it to a total complete stranger in line, after tell me about it getting stolen on the unload platform, they basically give my umbrella to a total stranger, who could have just walked off with it. Train dispatches next train heads in and now it was my umbrella caretaker's turn to ride and they basically repeated the whole thing again and it was a whole huge, incredibly stupid mess. And from that point on during the day I just left it sitting in the queue, right by the load gates in that space in between the stalls hoping no one walks away with my nice busch gardens umbrella.

Easly the most assinine policy I have ever come across at any park I have ever visited in my entire life (and I've been to 106 different amusement parks and have seen some mighty stupid poicies before, but that one takes the cake). It was mind boggling.

also a side note, to relate this to lockers my umbrella was a golf umbrella and not collapsable and is maybe 4 feet long and without a doubt would not fit in any locker in the park, and with the intermittant rain storing the umbrrella in the car (or even a locker for that matter if it were to fit) would render it totally useless.

why didn't they ever put boxes in Superman's station? they have it on almost every other major ride I can think of.

Simple...they want you to pay for a locker instead. =$$$. Also, it would be hard since just about everyone has something they might want to leave behind during the ride and it would be very chaotic.

boxes slow down the load and unload time in the station, that's why there're arn't any boxes in SUF's station.

[Carlo]

Have any of you even been to CP? That’s how CP is on many of their coaster and no one complains. They will yell at you if you try to leave something at the station, you must bring it with you on the ride, no Exceptions.

There is a Big Sign right in the front of the Que. READ THE SIGN. It says that you are not allowed to leave anything in the station. Also, there is a recording that goes off once in the while why you wait in line that says that nothing can be left at the station. You should be happy that the Stranger was willing to hold it for you, because they could of said no and then they would of made you get off the ride. (And I have seen it happen before)

[SFGA Bob]

if it slows loading times so much, why do all the other major attractions have it? I somehow doubt its that big a deal to put boxes in SUF's station and its probably not for money. if SF wanted to make money then they'd do it for all the rides, not just one.

I remember when we went to CP, the first ride we got to, we weren't allowed into line. an employee at the entrance smacked her cane in our way and told us to get a locker. most annoying policy ever.

[DejaVuGurl1203]

I was stupid enough not to read the signs while at CP. Thankfully it was only on TTD I made this mistake. The first day we went there, I went on TTD first. I had waited a little over an hour for the ride, and I had my purse with me in line. When I was about to enter the station, an employee told me I had to give my purse to my parents. I looked everywhere for my parents, they were nowhere to be found. I figured they were riding something else. So I had to use a locker instead. I felt pretty stupid after that. But on every other ride I remembered what to do. I never bring my purse to SFGAm, I don't know why I did for CP.
