They should at least give you some time for free, or maybe a year long "locker pass" option. Really doesnt make sense though with Fury being the only ride with lockers as of now. Dont understand why a bin cant be used like every other ride in the park, I dont think it slows anything down at all IMO, but I guess they have their reasons for it and it is what it is. I do believe the new coaster will likely have them as well.
It's not all ridiculous if you come to the park to actually want to ride things. Bins add an extra 20 or more seconds to ever dispatch for people to store things and then the congestion of new riders and old riders at the bins. On major rides that time adds up. Lockers improve efficiency and give a benefit of a little extra revenue. Every person over 12 doesn't need a bad, which is the case at many non CF parks. The locker policy on big rides makes people think twice about bringing all this extra stuff to the park. Not to mention the bags slow down park entry b/c security has to go thru them. The less bags the better!
Obviously I’m opening myself up to theft, but for the past 5 years I have been going into the water park first. Dropping my towel and my bag full of stuff and just leaving it there on a chair. I take my keys, wallet and phone in my pocket. I usually try to sit beside a family so people just assume I’m part of a group. I will periodically return to drink water or get in the wave pool.
I’m not exactly recommending this to anyone but it works fantastic for me. Although I do find it hard to believe I’m the only one doing it.

No lockers and I get to bring everything I want in.
