It would break the flow of the "escape" a little but not an impossibility that they could just put boxes for bags by the centre console in the drop room? Cheapest option by far.It was badly thought out regarding staffing but I’m not sure they can lose any of the staff, you need a batcher, two hosts and an op, you could get away with no actor in the end corridor with some imaginative effects instead. But the big staffing pressure is baggage hold, because of the nature of the ride you can’t take bags on with you and a bag hold for a mid level attraction is always going to be a bit overkill.
They could look at automated lockers but that’s an expense they are unlikely to consider.
Add an internal door to the control room and you could theoretically get it down to 1 batching host, 1 ride host and 1 op / ride host. It's not uncommon on every other flat ride for the op to take some hosting duty so don't see why this has to be different.
