There was a big sponsored group their yesterday. Along with school groups. One of the reason flight decks line is so long is because of loose articles. Though if you came by near when it was closing for the fireworks it was moving fast because I was control then got moved to grouping and back to control.

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
CoasterBeagle replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Actually, that analogy should work to people who like it. At least in my case, I like Scott Pilgrim, and everyone I know who has seen it likes it. However, most people who haven't seen it will not watch it, not being able to grasp the fact that it is actually a good movie. Ejector airtime seems to work the same way to many Californians, as they do not know how awesome it is, and, therefore, assume it is not that great and giant loops are better. In fact, if it weren't for Scott Pilgrim's high Rotten Tomatores score (that it deserves), I may have never watched the movie. However, this same website gave Adventureland an 89% (of which I think it does not deserve) In fact, to go back on topic, I really hate movies like FD3 and Adventureland, that depict amusment parks as being unsafe. It really dumbs down people's views on the industry, causing the usual GP 'roller coasters aren't safe!' I apologize I misunderstood what you meant. I don't really rely on reviews. They look for specific things and pick it apart. A movie is to escape reality. So is a theme park. You go there to have fun and not think of everything for a couple days. -

Scott pilgrim vs the world is an awesome movie. So that analogy doesn't work for me. I would say it's more like saying spice world was a good movie. (it wasn't) -

I always like "the back is faster than the front" then I say "then how come the back doesn't get to the station first?" (this is on flight deck but can probably be applied to every coaster besides a boomarang) -
Was wearing a yellow and grey shirt and was sitting in the front with a family of 3. yea because I would've been checking your seat at the end. I was loader. I was actually limping a little if you noticed. Do you remember if I did anything specific besides say "good". I remember a Latino looking guy checked my seat who was at Safety (if that's what it's still called; I used to operate Top Gun back in 2000, can't believe it's been 12 years lol) I was sitting on the back before I went back in line for the last ride of the day and remember a girl checking my seat, was that you? Yup, my name tag says "christina". Did I say anything specific? Safety is called Unloader now. I guess its called unloader because the person is on the exit side.

Best and Lamest Coaster "Ending"
CoasterBeagle replied to Teddymonster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well almost all Disney rides end in helixes. I did them all in one day (Disney world) by the time we rode expedition everest and it did backwards helix, I had to grit my teeth to not cause a protein spill. I was sweating and hands all clammy. So for me the helix is overused in Disney. I like sheikras water brakes or slowing down part *shrugs* but I still have to go with intimidator being my favorite on everything then afterburn then manta in sea world Orlando. That was an experience. -
It's kind of goes along with the height as well. Like the incident at Darien lake not only the leg issue but he also wasn't tall enough. I just had an incident the other day where a guest was angry about the whole height and adult price thing. I explained to her that I understand how she feels but that the height requirement isn't the parks rule it's the ride manufactures rule. She came back with "well the park sets the prices right?" then I said I understand but all I can do is enforce the ride height set by the manufacturer. That basically defused the situation because it wasn't the parks rule. Now I don't know how the employees handled it there but I would think that they would try to explain it. What I try to do is put myself in the guests shoes and explain it to them like that. I don't know if what I said is exactly revelant but the only reason I made the analogy is because they are both park rules.
