I have heard about having to put loose items into lockers before riding FJ(probably most rides).......does anyone know if you can keep a backpack on during the ride??

If the ride requires you to put items in a locker, they will not let you into the line (queue) with a backpack!

Didn't think so, just wanted confirmation that there wasn't a way to get around the rule. oh well.....

Appreciate your help!!! Thanks!

This rule includes pocketbooks, cameras, sunglasses, anything that you are carrying or that is loose... it has to go into a locker. There are several rides that are like this. The water rides tend to have free locker service for an hour, while other lockers charge you a couple dollars. Oh and for me .. I found having a piece of paper and a pen to write down the locker number was vital..... I tend to get CRS when we would get a locker.

My info might be a bit outdated because my last trip was in '06 but every ride that requires you to use a locker (the Hulk, the Dragons, the water rides, The Mummy, and MIB are the ones I remember just off the top of my head) had a free one hour grace period, then if you aren't back in an hour to retrieve your stuff, you have to pay to open it. I wonder what they're doing for FJ if the queues are really 3-6 hours long

And a PassPorter Passholder hanging around your neck will not be allowed either. I made it all the way through the queue at The Mummy only to be told when I was boarding that I wasn't allowed to take it on. I stuffed it inside my shirt and asked if that was ok and they hmmmm'd and haw'd a bit and let me go on but said that next time it has to go in a locker.

If it fits in your pocket, you should be fine. I actually saw several people in line with their SLRs, shopping bags, and other things. I'm not sure what happened to them when they got to the end though. The signs and park map were very explicit in stating that all loose items must be put in a locker before getting in line. I'm quite certain you can take drinks though, since you'll be waiting in line for quite some time.
Hats were also allowed while in line. I guess people just sat on them during the ride.

be careful if you put anything in your pockets on some of the rides that require stuff to be put into lockers. A friend of mine put her cell phone in her pocket on MIB. It flew out of her pocket. She told them about it & they told her to come back the next day because they look for lost objects at night. She got her phone back wit a few scratches.

My DH was wearing cargo shorts on the Mummy. His water bottle easily fit inside the side pocket, but he was still made to remove it before riding. I wouldn't put anything in my pocket that I didn't mind losing. I would think a cell phone is small enough to be ok, but I'd be sure I had a pocket that buttoned.

Rosshk · 07-06-2010, 06:03 PM

I put my phone and sunglasses in my pockets every time, and they never fell out. I had shorts with button pockets though, and buttoned them every time. HP&tFB wasn't that rough though.

I didn't mean losing from the ride, I meant if a ride attendant tells you to take it out of your pocket. It happened to us - thankfully it was just a water bottle. It was a reusuable water bottle.

Just wanted to say that all the rides requiring objects to go in lockers are free! If the lockers aren't free, then you can take your stuff on the ride (I think Jurassic Park is where that happened) The amount of time that the locker is available for free is dependant on the line wait time. You should be able to ride once without having to pay. All you have to do is scan your finger to get one so it's quick and easy too (if it won't read your finger, wipe off the place you put it)

And if you try to sneak stuff past the first team members you see, one will catch you and make you get out of line to go put it in a locker (saw that happen on Rip Ride Rockit). So make sure everything is put away safe and sound!

If in doubt put it in the locker, nothing worse than getting to the line and being sent back. And designate 1 person in your group to put everything in the locker, the rows are very small and 4 people crowded around the door makes things difficult for everyone else. Also use the same person and same finger every time for the sensor, I can't tell you how many people were frustrated because they couldn't remember what one they had used. The person waiting behind you usually isn't too happy either.

HOw about a fanny pack? It's not really loose since it's latched around your middle. Or is it in the way of the bars and straps?

We just got back from Universal studios.. The lockers were free for the length of the wait.. and when we went on Hulk, the line was fairly long so the kids kept their refillable bottle that we purchased for them. When we got to the ride, they let the kids put the bottles to the side..
