Postby Cove26flags on June 6th, 2004, 6:28 pm
Out of the many times I have been to GA this was the best. Longest line was for rajin cajun which was about 50 min. S-UF was about 20 min. and RB was about 30min. every thing else no less then 10 Min wait. But there was one odd thing Giant Drops car facing downtown Chicago was like stuck at the top of the tower and right before I saw that they were lifting and lowering the lifts for GD it was weird.

You're lucky,

Whenever i go DEMON always has 3 trains running and is crowded as hell.
I don't know what u mean by DEMON being a walk-on. Perhaps I just go on busy days :)

Demon was having three cars running, but I never saw it with a full queue.

Also, why wasn't RC running all of the cars? RC also needs shades over the queue. They also should have spread out the queue because you are way to close to everyone!

You must never go, because that is rare. Demon is usually known for being a walk-on(with a 2 train op.) Also, was the Whizzer also running 3 trains? And how many cars are on Ragin Cajun' and how many are operating?

Whizzer was running 2 trains today, not sure how many yesterday. RB was running all three yesterday and RB even changed to three trains around 2:30 today. I am not sure how many RC had. I think 4, maybe 5.

Also, on Saturday IW got stuck near the top of the lift. Everyone was freaking. We went on the train, and when we got back they ran they train and the people came off and everyone was fine. They got fast passes! :) Lucky them!!

I thought Saturday was packed! We waited about 1hr for Ragin Cajun, 45 minutes for Batman, 30 minutes for Eagle, and we passed on S:UF because they had all of the lines open and the line still went out practically to Frenchys.

It had 3 train op with good dispatch times (considering they had 4 people checking instead of the usual 2). During the day it was using all of the switchbacks and the line extended past the lift.

Also all of Cajun's cars are on not site yet (on site of the ride).

I went on Demon in the afternoon. 3 train were still running and the line was about a 30 minute wait.

Did anyone see the hippie music video last year while waiting in line for Demon? That was funny and dumb.
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu
