It's a great thing that BGT has loose article bins....Oh wait. Park Ops didn't want them in the way and finance doesnt wanna give up their locker money so they do stuff like this. I know they have pouches, but honestly, that isn't a substitute for a bin or locker. I can't dump a hat, glasses, phone, and keys into a pouch nearly as easily as a bin or locker, not to mention drink cups. This is an entirely preventable problem that exists because SEAS is a shit ass company that refuses to give up a few dollars in locker sales for the safety and convenience of guests. Shoot, they could even raise the cost of tickets and passes by a few bucks to cover the difference and the whole issue would go away, and they'd get their petty cash. I've pretty much stopped going to BGT entirely and have no intent to renew my pass at the end of the year due to the anti consumer attitude the park has, the horrible crowds it draws, and the apathy of the staff working there.
The worst part of all this is that I know for a fact that several higher ups are flaunting these choices as somehow clever, like they've broken the system and found a way to make even more money while costing them nothing, meanwhile in park experience has plummeted off a cliff. I would say they were wrong but based on the quarterly results, so far it looks like it doesn't matter. I don't know if it has to do with being in a fairly touristy area, but it seems as though the limit for what guests will put up with has not been met and I only expect things to continue to worsen until the numbers look bad.
