NATALIE (above) has explained it pretty clearly. Duh!
I'm with Soggy: "I have your solution. If you are too cheap to get a 50 cent locker, leave your crap in the car. Or are you also too lazy to walk to it?"
In many countries (including Japan and France) most of you people would probably be evicted from the parks for being a public nuisance. Grow up.

Ok, I'm going to take a step away from the norm for coasterbuzz and bash Cedar Point for a minute. Why oh why won't they let you take bags through the Millenium Force que line? It doesn't make any sense at all. Sure, the exit platform is different from the entrance platform. But so what? It's not too hard to have a shelf in the middle of the two stations where people can put their stuff.
Instead of letting you take your stuff through the line, they direct you to a locker area (which I doubt was there before MF was built) where you can pay them for the privelage of keeping your stuff while you ride. It's like paying an extra fee to ride one particular ride!
It seems to me like a cheap way to get extra money out of people. Now it may be a good ride and cost them a fortune to build, but this is a dirty business trick and, although it was the only bad part of my day there, it really pissed me off that an otherwise good place did this to their customers. Can someone tell me why they do this?
I think they should let us ride nude :)
However, This is a subject that I am familiar with. Once I rode with a pack of smokes and a roll of film in my shirt pocket and POOF they were gone on that first drop.
Two, I once had a umbrella in my back pocket and was rudely jerked by the arm and told I must take it to a locker.
I just wish there was some happy medium, Maybe a bin on the ride platform? I do think the lockers are kind of a rip off and/or better more visable posting in front of the ride that nothing may be brought in with you instead of getting jerked by the arm.
Chuck, who sees the reason for the policy but think it could be done better. Any suggestions?
