A Bad Crew Day

[T.K.]

September 10, 2007

Today I was amaized how bad the crews can be. I understand it's almost the end of the season, and the COW (Crew Of The Week) is over. But they have to do their job!
Arrived to the park at 12pm and rode DejaVu first 2 times... after like 30 minutes they closed it, cause it did not want to drop the train on tower 1. CREW: The crew was moving good pace, little slower then before, but it took 12 minutes to get on.
next was Raging Bull, it seemed not that high anymore, but at night LOL omg, it was moving fast as hell. CREWam: Really bad, stacked every train for couple minutes, triple stacked as well. CREWpm: Great Job, barley stacked, really good.
Viper Crew: there were two leads checking the restrain, and they stacked every train, every, every. When I asked why they move so slow, ONE of them said "it's not a lot of people in the park, we don't care". I got shocked.
Superman Crew: stacked traines for 3 minutes, I got very pissed how they were not proactive at ALL. The Operator wanted to send the train with people standing next to the train, it was on the gates side. and the girl at enable that opens the gate, didn't noticed. OMG come on, they spend 2 minutes talking to eachother to open the gates. then the other girl that gives all clear, talked to employee and didn't give her all clear until she finished 3 minute conversation.
American Eagle: Great as alway. they did some awesome job, didn't stack.
Demon crew: was OK
Overall the park was some way empty, 3 trains on Bull was a walk on, Viper had a 7 minut wait. Iron Wolf gave me a headache, I never got hit on IW before. Some rides were closed, but most of them open.

In the end to all employees that read this: Just because it's end of the season, think it's the beginning. there are a lot of guests who see what and how you do things. "Are you ready to ride" won't kill anyone. A little sweat won't kill you either. Remember it's you guys who make an experiance in the park. People will forget what you did, people will forget what you said, but they will never, NEVER forget how you made them feel. SO move fast, have fun and smile to make guests feel great.

I was at Vu when it wasn't releasing.
All I know is that they closed up Vu and A LOT of flats at 5:00-5:30

Bull crew towards the end of the day was amazing.

Iron Wolf was training lifeguards, so load times were literaly five+ minutes.

Not a really bad day.

Im guessing he is talking about Sun 09/09/07????

I was at the park from 10:00 am to 3:00pm and I thought the ride ops did a very good job and didnt see any lackluster employee's or bad attitudes. The workers I dealt with were nice and friendly and worked hard. If I saw any problems it was stupid guests trying to carry things on rides that slowed things down and parents trying to get kids on ridew who were too short.

I thought the park was very well run!!!!!
RB had a 3 train oeration from the get go(and numerours re-rides given in the morning) and the only rides I noticed that werent working were SWF/Yankee Clipper, and I think SSA.

So for me I was very happy with the job the park did and having rides staffed and running!!

Another thing.

A lot of higher-up's started talking to me and my friend yesterday.
We had MF/Tatsu shirt on, and they asked us what we thought of those rides..etc.

It was really nice.
