Alternative to lockers - car trunk?

[Josh Hendy]

I was wondering if anyone thinks this idea either rocks or reeks.

If you want to bring some water bottles, cameras, hats, etc. into the park but you want to ride the coasters right at opening, is it reasonable to keep the junk in the trunk and send some hardy, intrepid member of the party (that would be me, well intrepid anyways) out to fetch it after the wild rides but before hitting the shows?

I guess that this depends somewhat on how far away you are parked from the entrance (but having arrived for opening how far away could you be?) but also, is the lineup to back into the park with your ticket and handstamp going to be pretty long at (say) 10:00-11:00 am?

What made me think of this was what I heard was a fairly hefty fee to rent a single-use family sized locker for what would be a very short period of time (something like 8 big ones).

Probably would be a bad idea at USF/IOA, BGT or almost any of the WDW parks, but maybe feasible at SWO.

It won't be very convenient,Sea World is a very big park, Kraken and Journey to Atlantis are at one corner of the park a good 15-20 minute walk to the entrance and even if you arrive early you might end up in the back of the parking lot making for a longer walk.Manta is close to entrance so you could go do Kraken and head back to the front to ride Manta but doing that might mean Manta's line could get very long being a new coaster.Also the line to get back in the park will probably be at least 5-10 minutes between the bag check and the turnstiles.You mention it being a bad idea at Universal,however at Universal lockers are free for a certain time as you ride the bigger rides.Also if you plan to leave water in your trunk even for an hour any time from May through September expect to come back to some very hot water bottles.
