According to screamscape (so it must be true :roll: ...) Six flags has lockers by not only Bull, Wolf, Superman/Dark Knight, oh but wait. This might actualy have some truth to it even know it's from SS, Six Flags added "mandatory" lockers at Demon, Viper and V2, mandatory my ass...Whats next lockers at NECRO durring FF?!?!?!?!

There are indeed lockers now at Viper, V2, and Demon. Demon's are mostly operational, Viper's were still being unloaded today, and I didn't look at V2.

I went to the park today and saw that the Viper and V2 were not ready let. I believe that the Demon's lockers are ready.

Somehow im starting to get the feeling that next year Drop and Chaos are going to get ride lockers.

I usually have a person in the group who doesn't go on any rides (mom, dad, aunt/uncle, etc.) So it wouldn't matter much to me because I can just leave my stuff with them when I go on the rides.

I didn't like the addition of lockers either. I think these lockers may also keep people from spending money on games or souvenirs since they'll have to pay money to put these items into a locker every time they go on a ride. I don't know what the all-day lockers cost now, but I remember those being pricey too.

I always bring a fanny pack with me. They look stupid, but I can keep my camera, sunglasses, pain killers, and anything else I can fit into the fanny pack. I don't have to put it in a locker either...I just had to adjust the fanny pack once I got on the rides so that the restraints would go on properly.

Good point. I know that it's true for me at least. If I am going to buy anything big, I will wait till the end of the day when I won't be going on anymore rides. I don't want to have to use the lockers. Not only do they cost money, but it's a hassle to bother with.

Lockers are a scam to get more money. They don't want to scam the parents on a ride like Whizzer because that's where they get the parents, and they don't want them to not bring their 3 kids to the park.

How are lockers a scam to make money? Advertisements (and watching tvs with ads - Tell companies that people are forced to watch tv because they can't have loose articles - came out of Shapiro's mouth). The capacity is still the same. Maybe, the workers are told to work faster, but they still have the flip flops coming off for rides, and the workers make sure to check every bin for any articles (like on V2), and give it back to them which wastes time.

Is Demon sponsored by anyone? I was thinking that every major roller coaster is either sponsored by someone (like Iron Wolf has the stupid mayonnaise), or they have a tv in the line. V2 has a tv in line now as I thought that would happen.

For anyone believes it's about capacity, that's great you believe that, but I don't believe that at all. For Demon, maybe it could have been because the bins are so darn far away from the train itself (They should have moved the fences in, and the bins to. Oh, well that's too much money to spend.), but people still take off their shoes, and than they say you have to wear them anyway.

I think something that helps more about capacity is the height checker! If someone is too small, stop them towards the front, or make the Flash Pass do that job. The lines intersect at a point.
