they do have a sign at the front before you go in at least they did when i was last there saying NO items allowed on the ride.

They have someone standing there telling you as well from memory.

Money is money and more money is good for a theme park. Lockers provide more money (not much but some). More money means more rides. Other than having to pay extra, thats a pretty good deal isnt it?

Rides are installed if and when there's a sound business case for them. They're not counting coins each day and then finally saying "Hey, we can get a B&M now!"

Logically, more locker revenue would probably lead to more lockers.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

It does make sense, but eventually, lockers reach a 'critical mass' of sorts.

You can only add so many lockers before they stop increasing your revenue. At which point, further locker purchases become wasteful, and you then start looking at what other things you can throw your money on (probably just your investors, but hey - who knows...)

I can just imagine that meeting....

"Fifteen million nine-hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine-hundred and ninety-nine.......*ding* ..... oh it's a new financial year, better luck next year boys." 

 

@AlexB - eventually yes, but I don't think any of our parks are anywhere near that yet. 

[Intimidator305.]

Have to admit, my post was a bit dumb. I just hope the ride is good. If its amazing, I wont care if it has $50 lockers. Generally the people I go with dont want to go on the rides any way. So I go off with people who do and those who dont offer to take our stuff. But I understand that won't always be the case, so I'll try to only bring necessities.

Has anyone thought about bum bags (or fanny packs)? On Tempesto at Busch Gardens, they hand out bum bags, in which you can store your loose articles and such. I don't know if it would be practical over here, but it seems to work in the US and IMO, it sure beats paying for a locker.

I have no problem with paying for an all day locker. I would like the ability to be able to move my stuff to a different locker in another location as I progress around the park though.

The lockers at Sea World can only be hired for a max of 1 hour and are located at jet rescue and storm

Okay, where are they

[Theme Park Girl]

Between Rick's courtyard entrance and the photo shop in Main Street. There's two rooms full of them. 

[themagician]

At SW there are some under the first monorail station, near the park exit and Castaway Bay for all day hire.

So now we seem to have once again branched off to amother topic.. Lockers.. sheesh?

 

 

[bladex]

well what else can we talk about until new pics arise?

[MickeyD]

I've got no problem with keeping discussions going..  Maybe just keep topics on topic is all..

Suggestion to Moderators for another topic on Lockers and Storage for our rides?

What if we took the lockers from sea world, and attached them to the side of the train on the new coaster? 

[MickeyD]

Nah.. can you imagine the countless windscreen and panel damage on cars and buses entering the precinct?

hell no there are enough topics as there is..

[Intimidator305.]

From all of this discussion that I've read mostly from the beginning, we have thus figured out about the coaster.

1. It is manufactured by Mack Rides so will look like this:

 

2. It will have a height above 200 feet or  60.96 so should look like this.

3. It may have inversions like this:

4. And Airtime Hills like this:

5. And comfortable trains like this:

It appears that the 2017 Movie World roller coaster will have a combination of all of these roller coasters. (for those who care the rides shown are: Alpina Blitz, Behemoth, an intamin fact sheet, maverick, and the mack trains for the Mega coaster on their website.) This post was a mere visual aid. It kind of just restates what we've already figured out, but makes it visual for those who are a little unsure. It also sums up what we've figured out in a smallish post so readers don't have to constantly re-read pages to make sure their posts are up to date. Hope this helps some people out.

Why stop at Maverick-level airtime when you can go up a notch?

[New display name]

@Intimidator305. you forgot this.

Dont forget these bad boys that annoy the crap out of everyone.

I disagree - I think the MRT video, audio and the 'next train' slides in between are a nice touch to the theme.

A nice touch, but in desperate need of an update.
