Erik Johnson Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I was wondering which roller coaster has the fastest loading crew. The fastest I have seen is Rock n Rollercoaster at Disney/MGM in Orlando. They seem to get people secured and rolling around the bend in around 20-30 seconds.

PhishyBrewer Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 The 1996 Raptor Crew at Cedar Point. While cycling 3 trains, the crew was able to keep all trains moving and not stop until they reached station for over 344 times. Raptor had about a 30 minute wait all day for a Saturday in July. I miss the old days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 From what I've seen, my vote would probably be for Phoenix at Knoebels. Never really timed them, but its fast! Haven't seen it in action yet, but I'd say the fastest loading ever though would probably be Olympia Looping Bahn at Oktoberfest in Munich. The thing can run 5 trains without stacking. That's impressive! (especially when you factor in all the intoxication in its riders!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maliboomer Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 California Screamin' with all trains has a dispatch less then every 25 seconds....I think Oblivion has some freaky number too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryH Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 The fastest I've seen is the Phoenix crew at Knoebel's, with the Rock N Roller Coaster crew at Disney Studios a close 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 CA Screamin @ DCA. Like what Mali said, they have like 25 second dispatches. Another fast one would be the Batman clone @ SFMM. ---Brent 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maliboomer Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Pretty much a train is dispatched and another train files into the station immediatley... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFanatic Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Space Mountain and Thunder Mountain at WDW are both pretty sick. I will also agree with PhishyBrewer. I have seen Raptor being run so fast that it actually set off the block system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inferno Insane Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 The ride Op's for Nemesis at the Towers are quite quickly at times not much stacking at all. .I think Oblivion has some freaky number too Mmmm not always, everytime I been in X-Sector area where Oblivion is, there allways been slow and dispatch at a snail pace with 4 shuttles out.

pgathriller Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I remember the Grizzly was moving really fast. And I really do mean fast! I forgot how many trains they had but everyone in line just kept walking without stopping. It was really packed that day and the line was passed the entrance. It was really cool to see a hour and a half line finish in half an hour. Way to go Grizzly crew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I've seen The Phoenix dispatched in 17 seconds. And that's pretty much the average there. Can't wait to go to Knoebel's next week... dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 ^ Yes, I was there for that 17 second dispatch! That was amazing!!!!! Also, there was just a coaster on the Europe trip that we said they were going at "Knoebel's speeds" but now I can't remember which one! I have also seen the PNE coaster crew dispatch a train in under 20 seconds. --Robb "But hands down I think the Phoenix crew gets it!"

Dr Freeze Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Space Mountain at DL (guess it would be called v.1) had dispatch intervals between 15 and 20 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snuff Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I've heard about Europa Park being quick on all their rides. I've seen them opening the lap bars on Eurosat before it's even stopped to get everyone out as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goner Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 hmm i would have to say Dragons Fury at Chessington, buts its a moving station so am not sure that would count even though they dont need to break it before it leaves the station, California Screamin' is dam quick though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchCoasterFan Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 The Vekoma SLC @ Walibi Belgium, Vampire, one train leaves the station when the other isn´t even yet in the brakes. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
