in my opinion, I think the lockers are before you get in line so you don't have to carry them.....


But there will still be bins at the station.

There wouldn't be a 120 minute limit for a ride thats only 2 mins. long :roll:

A. We already know we will be getting the new SFTV network.

B. Does anyone really expect any 2 1/2 hour waits without vu this year? Doubtful....

anyway....about TDK, I'm hearing stuff like Six flags park opening day, and then I hear July 18th...

I also remember some executive or saying something about it will opening day.

But when you come to think about it, define "opening day" could it be the opening of the park, or the movie?

What if you are wearing flip-flops and you get on Ranging Bull, can you leave them on the station? I'm not really liking the whole idea of renting lockers :?

I ain't liking the idea either.....but like i said before, i think the lockers are for the line and not the station. it's really stupid, thay wouldn't charge a dollar at the station because:

1. it would hold up the line
2. people wouldn't want to pay $1 for simply riding something!!!!

Good point, I think its only like if your holding things that you dont want to carry and you put it there like stuffed animals and stuff like that, but what about bags and bookbags? Do you got to leave them there too? I find no use for it. Why do they have those lockers if you could put your belongings in the lockers by the main entrance? I think they are wasting money on things that are not needed!

I'd only use a locker if I won a stuffed animal or something!!

It's a really dumb idea, but I guess we have to wait until Six flags tells us themselves.

I don't have a problem with most of the rides listed as requiring lockers. The choices for the most part seem logical. After all, Superman had the locker policy in place when the ride opened, and I'm sure it will help the lines move faster in most circumstances. I think it will be especially helpful on shorter rides like Batman and Especially Iron Wolf. The only ride I don't understand is American Eagle. I think it takes long enough for the ride to make it through the course that there would still be plenty of time to put loose articles into the bins without disrupting anything or causing any significant delays. It would be different if they still used three trains per track, but as they don't, I don't understand why this would be a problem.

You have to admit, it's a great way for the park to make more money.

If anything, the last thing Six Flags has been doing recently is making money.

If they were doing better than usual in 2007, I don't think we'd have this.
