Timing of lockers at water parks

[pjpoppins]

Can you rent a locker before they let you in?

If not, do you usually get one:

a) As soon as you walk in
b) Right after you find a chair
c) After you've rushed to the "headliners" (assuming there is one person in your party to watch the bag and not going on the slides)

Thanks.

The "hut" @ TL to rent lockers, towels, etc of course past the gates and in front of the park. We went and got a space to sit first, and then I went back to get the locker. If it's even a little crowded I'd want to secure chairs first instead of standing in line for a locker key!

So what would you say a 10 min process to get a locker and chuck the bag in it at opening?

Easily! The lockers are right across from where you get the key and I think 10 people were in line ahead of me during our mid-May trip. We didn't have much to carry so it wasn't a big deal for us to grab a seat first. I think the only thing we had was a small bag with our phones, Kindles and sun screen.

If I had "stuff" then I'd probably grab a locker first instead of lugging it around or if you're there early then you should be golden.

Half go to lockers, half go to find beach chair (everyone has cells), then we meet up. I like this cause the lockers are generally near the front of the park but do take time. After that, some of us hit the slides.

Do you generally put your towels in the locker or on the chairs? Same with shoes. Any concern that they will walk away if you put them on chairs?

Always put towels on chairs so as to "reserve" the chair. And keep my shoes with me at the chair so I can put them on while walking around. Lots of people wear water socks so they just keep them on

If it's a busy time of year, I agree that you should do chairs first then locker. We went in late September when it was not busy and did locker first then chair, and we were fine, but the chairs did eventually fill up.
