Disneyland Knott's Magic Mountain

I miss the petting zoo. That's all I remember of old knott's. Well, that, and the pogs they would give away...

I'm impressed all this is on pace to be done in mid-march. Wasn't expecting this to be done so quickly, but here we are. Seems like the park really put a concentrated effort in this one

True, but I just like pokng fun at a ride that has as many moods and tempers as a person does. Xc truly does have a personality.

^It's not the roughness I've got beef with. My beef with Grizzley is that it sucks.

I like how the ERT is "planned" for Xcelerator...lol. Hope will be running full force by then!

Yes. That's how I broke my arm when I was 12. Have you ever had to stop talking for a momnent and realized you came off as a jerk?

That's What You Are-Amerie

Though I've always loved riding them, I didn't really get into enthusiam until I was 19, when I worked my first coaster. I was just looking for a job, so I went to Knott's. The screener told me the only thing that was hiring was traffic. So I said "fine". But a rides manager got my application and interviewed me and a week later I was at Xcelerator.

Who Got it-Talib Kweli

Nope. Just needs a restraint that A: Works and B: Approved by the manufacturer. This is why Disney gets away with those minimal restraints on their rides. Make your own rides, you get total say so over them.

Hey Sca town....Uhm, no. Even though you only wore them in one game, I didn't forget you Mavs As if Detroit isn't bad enough as is One of the best...and I wish Orlando would bring these back Throwing these into the best colomn And these Were a huge improvement over these... But these, not so great...

^Why not just call it an aquatrax?

All that Vekoma may have slowed down you cognative reflexes.

^"Enviromental Protection and preservation of land".

I just ran past this...and I have to say...Either the park gave you misinformation, or they just need to hire a new maintenence department. I'm not calling you out. Just saying that I find it hard to believe it take 3 1/2 months to rehab ONE train. I don't think any ride, I don't care how complex it is, should take that long to take apart, inspect, replace parts and reassemble. I've seen rides be stripped and reassembled in less than 3 weeks. To reiterate...I'm not saying this isn't true. I just want someone to explain to me WHY it takes Magic Mountain 3 1/2 months to rehab a train. On that note. I don't care about 1 train operations during this time. I'd rather have a coaster running slowly than not running at all. I can't expect anything less than a park that doesn't essentially have an "off season" in the traditional sense. I just have a hard time believing that: Scenario A:Six Flags did not think to factor in ride upkeep and timeframes when they bought Tatsu to schedule appropriate maintenece to keep the ride running at full or near full efficiency during peak times Scenario B:It takes nearly four months to repair one train, which, if done one at a time can take all year, which in turn would not have purchased additional trains to keep at least two available at any given time.

^Promotional videos? Besides, it's up to programming. Example. Riptide can be ran on multiple settings. Programming can go a long way.

Lupe Fiasco's shelved album Lasers is getting released March 8th. Also, Raphael Saadiq has an album coming out in March. Good month in music just in those two artists.

I am really having a tought time at work. In regards to confidentiality, and respect for the employer, I will withold names of people and the job, but There is just so many unethical things that have gone on with me personally, that I don't know what to do. So much has gone on for so long, and it's such a hostile work enviroment that I don't know what to do. Since my issue is with management, I feel I'm kinda helpless.

I know Cedar Fair historically isn't a company that looks to the outside market for ideas and leadership, but I think this can have more benefits to it than downfalls. I'd love to see where this goes.

Yea, which means B&M now has to get involved I can see where the hold up would come in. I'm sure we're not going to see a noticable delay. Even if we do, It should still be in full swing by Haunt, and that's the only real time rides get pushed to capacity.

^I'm going to assume it's the one right in front of Cantina?

I wouldn't want to overload those kids taking orders. I mean taking orders AND handling cash can be pretty overwhelming...aside from their main priority the texting, whew!

Coming from a former Tatsu operator, the required staff it takes to run efficiently, the ride just doesn't get. Too many times that ride gets 3-4 operators PER DAY. I've been there plenty of days where we had to drop a station due to staffing. Not saying it's the only problem, but it was (and maybe still is) a big one.

I'm hoping the Johnny Rockets stays. Aside form Mooseburgers, JR's is the best place to eat in the park dollar-for-dollar. It's the best burger you're going to get in the park. We can't lose that, too.
