No More Rerides

If you want to stay on the train, you can't anymore!!!! They are supposedly enforcing this, and are going to make your life miserable. It's a "new rule." It happened at the Demon crew with the sup over there. You have to go around no matter if there is no one in your row!! They rather send empty trains than with people in it. :cry:

or maybe the sup over there is just a jerk

That stinks!!!!
I always get to do that on American Eagle.

Man, no more Eagle and Demon re-rides is gonna suck. I hope its untrue.

I guess no more 12+ rerides for me on Bull on Mother's Day...

they started enforcing it last year. Halfway through the season last year for Vu last rides of the night, people would come in the station after the last ride chanting " one more time" and the crew stopped. They did this again this year too.

Same thing at Bull and then the guests would get mad when we'd tell them no...

I have gotten re-rides on Viper this year, as well as Batman.
Has anyone contacted SFGAM customer relations and asked about the park policy on re-rides??
I hope this isnt true because it is STUPID to make one ecit a ride when seats are open and no one is in line, escepcially on rides like AE/Viper when it is a LONG walk to get from the exit back into the station.

by **scbb11Sketch** on July 11th, 2006, 1:33 pm

Meh, I've gotten rerides everyday this year. Twice on S:UF, five times on Batman, three times on RB, and alot on Eagle. When they say they enforce things it's usually for like a week and then they forget.

No, actually this year on 5/15 I stayed in the Demon train and re-rode

by **revolutiongurl** on July 11th, 2006, 3:21 pm

Oh, I see other people have already made that clear :lol:

whoopsies

The only way you can reride is if the ride ops must send another train and nobody is in your row. If you have a full train with no1 in the chutes and its after 10:00 ur not supposed to ride again.

by **Sedir** on July 11th, 2006, 3:46 pm

^ Oh, well then that's nothing to worry about.

I've seen it enforced on S:UF and Raging Bull and that was it. I got to reride Eagle last month.

If the park is dead, they allow of re-rides, but if it is busy, despite empty rows, they may not allow re-rides.

by **twixmix0303** on July 11th, 2006, 6:49 pm

The problem with re-rides is the fairness issue. If one person gets to re-ride, then everyone better be able to re-ride or there's going to be complaints. Usually if there's enough seats for everyone on the ride and everyone in line to ride at the same time, they'll let you re-ride. (Especially true for the flats.)

by **FParker185** on July 11th, 2006, 7:30 pm

technically no rerides is an Insurance/Safety issue and most parks are uber strict on the polict.

If you were to pass out or become injured during the ride and the ride ops (especially true with SF) were to not notice you passed out/dazed or confused in the seat and sent you around again for a reride there is a huge possibility for further injury. Making everyone get up and walk around ensures that scenario doesnt happen.

I can't understand that about sending another train??

This happened before closing time (9:40).

Do you know who complains mostly about getting injured on a ride, or not feeling good? It's the people that are the first timers. Look at the Mission Space what just happened. The person didn't feel good after there first time on it. It's not the second, or third time that was the problem. They weren't reriding the ride. This means the people that go on the ride once, and say forget it.

This is stupid, but true that I get more injured from the line than the ride. They have these things for the chain (holes for the chain to clip onto), and I hit them a lot this year.

If I were to walk around very fast 5 times around, there is more of chance of fainting than if I was just on the ride 5 times with NO one in my row, of course. Do you know how many times when there is no one in line that I try to get to the next train coming into the station? If there's people in line, you walk really slow because there is nowhere to go. If there's no one in line, you try to get there as fast as possible.

If you want rerides.

Just go to Timber Falls!

:lol:

by **Bob O** on July 11th, 2006, 8:47 pm

I also dont buy the so-called safety reason at all. If a ride-op is doing there job right(which is the case at SFGAM almost all the time) they would notice someone passed out while checking restraints and wouldnt send out a ride with someone passed out/in need of medical help.
You have a bigger chance of getting hurt during the morning dash to your favorite coaster than re-riding a ride several times. If this wasnt the case then people like Richard Rodriguez who will ride a coaster for 100 straight days or more like he has numerous times among many would have died a long time ago.

by **ragingbullchick** on July 11th, 2006, 9:26 pm

I hope this isn't true. If so, I've "broken the rules" about 12 times on AE this season! :lol:

That is true. This reminds me of what happened to me on Bull, I rerode it too many tmies and got sick. If I were to walk around and get back on I wouldn't have gotten sick as quickly, or at all, considering I would not want to walk around 12 times.

by **Chitown** on July 12th, 2006, 2:32 am

It's not a park policy.

I just visited the part tonight and I power rode Batman 13 times straight without leaving my seat in the back row.

If you were told to exit then it was the individual rideop or sup who decided to be an ass and make you leave.
