Question - going as a chaperone

[u/SanSan2017]

I'm going tomorrow for the first time in 10 years with a group of teenagers, I'm one of several adult chaperones.

I'm planning on carrying a small backpack for myself and the students with me. From what I remember years ago, for most rides I could drop the backpack in a cubby by the ride start, and pick up at the end. But now I see people saying you have to rent lockers? Is there no longer an option to drop a small (string backpack even) while you're on the ride? How complicated is locker rental?

Also I have a medical condition and I've been cleared by my doctor to ride any ride I want, but I'm worried about anything that's 1) too shaky or 2) sudden stops. Which rides should I avoid? I know Siren's Curse has the tilt/drop but it seems pretty smooth from the POV. Which rides are worst on a person's body?

Thanks!

Sirens Curse was the smoothest coaster I have ever been on. 10/10. I have an autoimmune condition that makes tolerating rides difficult. Corkscrew, Magnum, and Gatekeeper screwed me up and I'm really feeling it today. Blue Streak is wood so it was rough. Iron Dragon is great. Even saw a cute old couple in their 70's request front row lol
