Where are the WT lockers?

Are they in front of the ride like Millenium Force or near the exit like Magnum?

Both I guess.

I have a good pic of the plaza, the lockers are on right of it, the entrance is on the left. Exit is in the background.

The real question, does it matter ;) ;)?

There are Shelves to put stuff on the platform anyway. Thats where I put my glasses.

Welcome back Magnum riders how was your ride?

I was actually surprised to see the shelves in the station. I didn't notice what they were allowing in line and what they weren't to be honest. I figured it'd be a "nothing in line" deal similar to MF to increase capacity. Shows what I know! :)

Wicked Twister is the one ride in that park where the station shelves actually make sense, as there is only one train.

Same with the Power Tower shelves. Don't have to worry as much about things getting stolen.

They are over by the exit of the ride.

"Is The Twister All That Wicked?"

I know the sign says no loose items past this point blah blah blah, but when I rode in the morning I noticed those shelves for stuff. Why would there be shelves if you can't take it even past the entrance??? So at the end of the night, when I had my backpack that I had gotten from the car earlier in the day, I tried to walk into the line with it. To my shock, the WT entrance op wouldn't let me take my back pack into the line with me. I asked him why not since they had the shelves and he told me that they were used for shoes and glasses and such. Also, he said because of the nature of the ride flying through the station at such high speeds, it could suck my bag into the path and stop the ride. Frankly I don't understand that logic. My bag didn't weigh that much, but I think shoes or sunglasses would be more prone to being sucked into the flight path...if that even happens. I think its just a way for CP to make more money by charging the $0.75 for the lockers. SFWoA doesn't have this policy for Superman and people can leave their stuff right by the automatic gates. Maybe I'm just not understanding the power of this ride.

I think its more of a capacity thing than anything else. I don't think anything is going to be "sucked" into the path of the ride to be honest. I figured they weren't going to allow loose articles into the line and that's why I was a bit surprised to see the shelves there. Personally, I'd just assume CP not allow loose articles onto the platform of any ride. They are trying to be accomidating with boxes where it is possible (Raptor, Mantis, etc) and many loose things are actually allowed on Magnum, but then someone goes to Corkscrew of MF, and they don't understand why the can't take any lose articles ("but I did on such and such!") and there is nowhere to store them. They usually were understanding when I explained that on Magnum, we didn't have time for it because of set ups, but it is kind of confusing. I almost think a uniform no loose articles policy would be less confusing and easier. Imagine the uproar though because people just bring too much junk with them IMHO. :) Cargo shorts are where it's at! I can cram everything I need into them. Camera, wallet, sunglasses, even some sunscreen.

Like I said the shelves worked for my glasses, I would see how they would work for flip flops too.

Most people understood on Millennium Force when I explained that they couldnt be taken on the ride because the speed it goes and the openess of the train, and they couldn't be left on the platform because you got on at a different point than you got off at... had to say that a lot lol
