Another way to secure loose items is to wear pants with zipper pockets, like cargo pants.:)

I have never had any problems with the loose items bins.

Cargo pants do work great but I would be lugging around a camera bag. I doubt they would let me in the line with the bag. Therefore, lockers or non-riders are a must.

While you cut down the quality a little. A nice compact camera does an individual a lot of good while riding roller coasters.

High end snapshot cameras are only getting better and they still fit in your pocket.

Been there, done that. I like the quality and flexibility of SLR.

I have never carried a camera or any thing large with me, so I have never used a locker. I can see how one would be very handy to have near rides.

The only things I have ever carried around the park are my cell phone which fit in a pocket, a Millenium on-ride pic which also fit in a pocket, and a giant stuffed gorilla which I made my non-coaster liking friend hold on to.

Why waste money for more lockers, when like said before bins on the platform, and lockers near the whole ride.

I agree with you. It would be a waste to put lockers in there aswell as srf. There is no point and it is not needed. Bins are just fine for one station rides like Maverick

Then why are there lockers at Wicked Twister when there are bins in the station? Again, if the loose article policy is the same as MF and TTD the bins won't do any good for a large number of guests.

Those lockers are almost 100% profit. After you recoup the original cost of installation, there's no major upfront charges to operate them. It's an easy money maker.

As for the lockers at Wicked Twister (for example), there's always a chance you'll want to lock something up that you have no need to carry around. Not to mention that there are some things I would certainly never risk putting in a bin or on a shelf; even if it were only a one train operation.

My point exactly. I don't leaving an expensive camera on a shelf where anyone can just grab it. Bins are not a good place to store valuables.
