For those that have ridden TT2, do you think there will be enough lockers? The queue line will be huge and I worried people will be waiting for an open locker before they get in line to ride. I worried that there will be a huge line waiting for open lockers...
Looks like Patriot at Indiana Beach should be opening this year. I wonder if it will open before the carousel. I think the timeline for it to get disassembled, shipped, refurbished, and reconstructed at Indiana Beach was shorter. All of that, yet Carousel didn't even kill anyone.
Why is everyone all up in arms? Once Six Flags officially merges in, there will be no more free lockers anyway. Cedar Point will basically be Great Adventure without the Saturday night fistfights 😆
They Could always do what Universal does do free locker for a posted amount of time and if your stuff is still in the locker after said time then you get charged for it.
People have also said why not just leave your stuff in the SV locker then walk to ride TTD. This is a long way and people freak out about not having a phone for 5 min could only imagine people starting to freak out about the phone being gone for hours on the other side of the park.
Watching a few of the media day videos so far and the thing that stood out to me is that CP had the planning in place to convert the former Speed Freaks merchandise stand near Corkscrews station turn into a second on-ride camera stand because of it's proximity to the lockers at TT2, but didn't plan on them being a necessity for all loose items?
One good thing is that they added a back pathway from the Magnum midway to the locker area to eliminate the need to go "around the corner" to the queue entrance to get to the TT2 area.
Oh, and one last thing is that during Media Day, the lockers were free, so it's definitely something they can adjust "on the fly."
Time to upgrade the "locker experience" like Wildcat's Revenge, TRON, Velocicoaster ... completely possible and better for everybody to include the dual-sided free lockers into the queue without slowing everything down or forcing us to pay for yet another "add-on."
There are more onrides, were you can see some pre-ride effects and a little surprise before the ride starts... So be aware of spoilers https://youtu.be/veh7SxNQOMo?feature=shared
And one more report (in english) of the opening ceremony and the queue etc.:

The ride look like a huge hit and has excellent theming again
I've seen some pretty over the top locker takes in the last few days, but I will say one thing... if the only way for a guest to read a park map is on their phone, they shouldn't be charged for needing to store it. If the park is already operating under the assumption that every guest will have a smart phone on them, the ride policies need to reflect this as well.
I don't understand what could have changed during ride testing that would affect having your phone and keys inside a zipper pocket. Like... the explanation that it was a late change due to testing and Zamperla recommendation doesn't make any sense. And they can't add zipper pouches to the trains like RMC has done?
