Don’t think it’s penny pinching. Think it was just a terrible idea pitched and another idiot said yes.
I think this is the closest to the truth. Lol.Don’t think it’s penny pinching. Think it was just a terrible idea pitched and another idiot said yes.
Penny pinching = unwilling to spend money
This is looking for additional revenue sources.
Part of me thinks this is penny pinching, and another part thinks this is UO trying to prevent people that DON'T NEED to use the large lockers from using them. For at least a limited time. Then one day quietly remove the upcharge.
not to mention people with special needs and people who need emergency medical things with them that takes up space in a backpack.This is *incredibly* naive. Parents need to bring stuff for their children. People will buy merch bigger than what can fit in the smaller lockers. Sometimes people have cameras bigger than what will fit in the smaller lockers.
SeaWorld and Busch Gardens offer free cubby storage at load stations for coasters that don't allow bags. It's store at your own risk though, and the park isn't responsible for lost or stolen items. However, at least there is a free option.I find it funny, since I don't know of any other park in Orlando that offers any free lockers, big or small, regardless of if you have to stow stuff.

Would opinions change if it was only a dollar to use the larger locker, or would you still want free?
The lockers or maintenance?
Um, Disney doesn't force you to put things in lockers before each ride; and the rides that do require any kind of securing over there provide the free option to place it in the storage spot in front of your seat - and that's Universal's direct competitor. I love SeaWorld and BGT, but that ain't who Universal is "rivaling" with.
But I can see the argument from both sides. There still are free lockers to use at Universal and should be satisfactory to use for most people. However, Universal set the precedent for so many years that the lockers are free, and because there is, mostly, no other choice to ride an attraction if your items can't fit in the standard lockers.

The whole point of this thread is the lockers were upgraded. That upgrade.
That’s the problem, it shouldn’t cost money to visit the parks how one wants to (within reason).
Yes, $10 for use of any ride lockers for the whole day.If I am not mistaken, Seaworld has an option where you can pay for locker usage for the entire day.
You can fit a lot in one small locker, but some backpacks are just not going to fit in a small at all.Aren't groups of people just going to use multiple free lockers instead of one big locker like they would have if a larger one was free, thus tying up the the locker system even more?
