Nice! :toast:
What's your favorite path to Krakatau once you rope drop? I used to like going to the left of the volcano (as you go in), but that was blocked off by TMs when we were last there (prior to that we went that way at least four different times). So then we did the right side, which meant walking over the sand around ropes, but lockers are open over there. I'm considering going right through the volcano next time, on that bridge that overlooks the wave pool and goes through the chamber that Sol is in (think that is the projection's name?). That comes out right by the entrance to the coaster.
I just go to the right on the concrete over the bridge that’s above the lazy river and by the kids area. I suppose you could also do the “inside volcano” route.
But tbh, the route isn’t
that important. It’s about getting in there first thing, putting on the tapu tapu while walking and dropping your stuff as quick as possible.
Almost everyone else, even if rushing first thing gets into “now let’s get organized” mode. Sets all their stuff up nice, puts on lotion, etc.
If you just toss your stuff on the chairs, kick off the shoes and worry about all that later, you’ll be way ahead of the game.
Without a locker first thing, what’s the strategy for phones?
I usually leave it in the room. But if I bring it, I just throw it in my pocket (waterproof). If you’re worried about the waterproof thing, just throw it in a ziplock or waterproof case and go to town.
Just a perk of being a guy with trunks & pockets.
Remember that this is just for hitting Krakatau multiple times in a row first thing, so you can go grab a locker afterward or whatever before you do the drop slides or more intense stuff.
And to be frank, Even if your phone was in your bag on a lounger, people aren’t going to steal your stuff in the first hour. Remember that’s only on-site guests or APs. So the odds of one of them being on the prowl for gear in a bag that first hour is slim to none.
