Your bags on Kali

[cuteinnocent]

For Kali, is there anything like lockers there or a place to put your bags to keep them dry?

 

[Alesia]

There are lockers nearby. They're free for a certain amount of time (an hour, I think)

 

[CAS239]

Lockers are free for I believe up to 2 hours. There's nowhere on the ride to keep your belongings except in your lap

I usually wear a large poncho and hold our bags on my lap underneath the poncho. I love the ride but I'm not crazy about getting wet so I'm happy wearing a poncho and holding everything.

I haven't ridden in forever (got soaked one too many times), do they not have the bin in the middle of the raft anymore?

No. It's been removed.

 

[Moliphino]

Well that's good to know if I ever decide to ride again! I would've just breezed by the lockers and been stuck with a wet bag.

No. It's been removed.

Yeah, and even before they were removed, the tops were getting pretty worn out and not sealing that well, which is probably why they removed them.

This is my strategy as well. My bag is a very small cross body that easily fits under the poncho. The kids have been rocking the fanny packs, and those also fit easily under the poncho. In 2015, the middle bin was still in the raft, so I didn't even think about a locker when I got in line this March. Good thing I'd brought the ponchos. I can't ever go on that ride without being completely drenched. It's like the raft knows I'm in it and will turn so I am directly under any and all falling water.

Don't forget to put your phone in a ziplock!

We put all of our stuff in the lockers, changed into flip flops, and put on ponchos. It was great when we got off because we asked people if they wanted our ponchos (we weren't going to use them again). They seemed really grateful to be offered ponchos and I didn't have to carry around a wet poncho anymore lol

But why go on the ride if you wear ponchos and don't actually get wet? Lol

The ride is so short I can't believe anyone gets wet at all lol

The main trick is to SIT on your poncho (ie put your poncho on and then tuck it under you as you sit down). Too many people put on the poncho after they sit down (or after they are buckled), at which point they're pretty much guaranteed to have soaking wet shorts at the end.

Because we could not have gotten more soaked if they had tipped the raft over and made us swim to the exit. I don’t mind getting splashed, even heavily, but this was ridiculous. Like jumping in the pool fully dressed then having to stay that way all day.

Yep. That's always my experience, and then in the humid Florida summer, there's no drying. Once you're soaked, you're soaked for the rest of the day!

That's so weird. When we rode it I had a poncho on, but even if it wasn't on I barely would have gotten wet. Now when we rode Splash I got absolutely soaked.

Hmmm. I wonder how people get wet on Kali...?

No. It's been removed.

Good to know. We haven't been in 6 years. I would have brought our bag through the queue.
