i actually think my most controversial cedar point take is that i fucking love that steel vengeance has lockers, & i don't care how small those lockers are. obviously larger lockers are better, but from working locker attractions, it gets to a point where quantity is what really matters. most guests don't need to store large bags; giving people space to put phones, wallets, keys, hats, and glasses is more than sufficient for most guests. i definitely prefer it to the millenium force strategy of "bring all loose articles on the attraction and hope they make it back in one piece"
the guest flow is a nightmare, though. actual improvements i would make:
larger lockers in the same space as smaller lockers for guests who don't know the lockers are there & how small they are
the lockers are either in the queue or they aren't. isolate them entirely, or have the exit detour to the lockers. or completely force the queue through the lockers like most recent UDX attractions & tron.
the four-way intersection in the entrance side of lockers is a complete joke lol
i've had cameras get bricked by parks that force you to bring loose articles on attractions & don't offer any loose article storage at all; no lockers, upcharge or not, no cubbies in the station, not even "toss it on the floor in the station". so i'm really biased against attractions that force you to bring loose articles with you.
i've also worked attractions that would really benefit from dedicated attraction lockers (my old invert) where we didn't have money or space to install them. so honestly, a park having the $$ to install lockers in the first place is a privilege. i think people overlook that when they complain about having to leave their stuff in lockers lol
