Lockers?

[Miss Marie]

Ok, so what is deal with lockers at IOA? I have found barely any information on them.

Do they take time away from riding?

Are they combination lockers?

When you have to put something in a locker, do they send you back to the end of the line afterwrads?

I was thinking about buying a souvinier cup to have a drink in at IOA, but I realise that they'll make me stow it in a locker when I ride FJ, Hulk, and DC. If I wear a relatively small fanny pack, will they make me stow that too?

If I have a neckalce from the coin mint that I'll be wearing when I ride FJ and DC, will they make me put that in a locker?

How have your experiences gone with the lockers? Good or bad? Do you like using them?

Thanks so much!

Do they take time away from riding? No...you put your stuff in the lockers before you enter the queue.

Are they combination lockers? No...they use finger scans in the locks.

When you have to put something in a locker, do they send you back to the end of the line afterwards? Not sure what you mean here. If you get through the line with something and they tell you to put it in a locker, you are able to come back through the child swap line. You would not have to wait in the queue again. Is that what you mean?

If I wear a relatively small fanny pack, will they make me stow that too? A small fanny pack should be OK...the drink cup will need to be stowed. The main thing with fanny packs and similar items is...they cannot impede the restraints so small packs are usually OK.

If I have a neckalce from the coin mint that I'll be wearing when I ride FJ and DC, will they make me put that in a locker? How big is the item on the necklace? You should be OK to just put the necklace inside your shirt...if the chain hangs down to your chest.

How have your experiences gone with the lockers? Good or bad? Do you like using them? I don't use lockers but instead I wear cargo shorts that have enough pockets for my stuff. The lockers can get very crowded at times which causes frustration but that comes with the territory. If you can go w/o having to fool with a locker, I would recommend you do so.

Thanks so much!
