g0stars2552 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 The line starts at under the train bridge but it's not bad. However the Rangers game is about to end so the park should get packed after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0stars2552 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Mr freeze is the one with the longest line. It is almost to the entrance of snowy's mouth which is ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linders Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 That's because they keep running it on one train. It was an hour wait for us, last time we were there and it was a light crowd that day. They probably won't run it on 2 trains the rest of the season. It's about to close up for HIP in about a month and a half and why bother getting the other one going when there are flash passes to be sold!

chadster Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I think just about every possible member of management is on the ride platform, timed dispatches at an avg of 5 minutes. If a car needs to be unlocked then the whole train is re checked. About a 1:15 wait when a normal wait woulda been 45 minutes. New crew doesn't help.

ernierocker Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 ^Someone just posted right above your post that it is only running one train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnychen Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I rode the first public ride this morning for NTaG's reopening. I barely noticed any difference with the new restraints. The new lap bars do seem to be a bit more comfortable or maybe the trains were running a bit slow that early in the morning. Did notice that the air time seemed to be a bit weaker. I am going to have to try it later tonight. Pretty cool that the pics I took for my face book page that I shared with the Coaster Crew are now here. I was just about to post them when I noticed some very familiar shots. Heard from the park president today at the Lonestar Coasterthon that there may be something big coming in 2015.

chadster Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 The park still only has two people checking restraints, the attendants now wave their hands in front of your crotch as if they are checking something, the panel op no longer chit chats as the ride is being checked, they've somehow managed to increase dispatch times to six minutes. On another note I find the restraints super comfy, the lap bar Indicator lights have been removed. Tons of management standing around Wraps around to keep you in Rounded and comfy Noooooo!!!!!!!! Still a great ride!! I like, no longer hurts the thighs Lab bar indicator lights are gone and have been plugged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linders Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 And for the record the line is SLOOOOOOW moving, even on 2 trains. It is like that week they only ran 1 train. Lots of applause from folks coming off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linders Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 It seemed to me like dispatch sped up somewhat when while in line. It was amazing! Of course we couldn't ride NTAG and pass up an opportunity to ride Titan! I noticed this going up next to the exit of Titan. I predict a photo booth.

chadster Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Wow, they got four people working the ride now and dispatches have gotten a tad faster, imagine that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 This is ingenious. Am I the only one who has never seen this done on a coaster before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koasterking48 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 ^ Are you talking about the pockets for wallets and/or cell phones? If you are, these are on many (if not all) of the coasters at WDW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myself Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 In that case, you can consider me to live under a rock. I just wish more parks did this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linders Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 We went for another round just before they closed up at 8pm, and it was even better the second time. I don't know what it is about coasters that make them seem faster at night, but it seemed faster. It was so good that I needed a cigarette afterwards, and I don't smoke. Going back tomorrow with some friends to enjoy it some more. The part I found most amusing from our day (aside from the rides) was the 2 guys behind us on Titan. I could tell it was their first time by the way they screamed, " OH SH&T!!" going over the crest of the hill. They were screaming like ladies and dropping "S" bombs most of the way, then going through the last set of helixes one of them started screaming, "My cankles!!" over and over. I laughed so hard. We got stopped and I looked back and asked if that was their first time, and they said it was. I asked if they'd been on NTAG yet, and they weren't having any of that. It was pretty darn funny.

g0stars2552 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 SFOT already has mechanics and engineers working on the power "situation" for Mr. Freeze and Batman. This year during HIP they are keeping both of these rides open for the holiday season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0stars2552 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I feel bad for the ride operators sometimes. When I was in line about to board superman, the nice ride host during the pre-ride safety briefing about lose articles noticed two men ignoring him and facing the other way, so the host went up to them two and told them to put their hats and sunglasses in the bin, the man then resumes to drop F-bombs in his face in front of other children. I'm suprised the host didn't call security. Anyway I felt bad for the host but point being if you're going to Six Flags, just leave your bad mood at the front gate for crying out loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linders Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 That would be great if they do keep them open for HIP. We didn't ride it today. Not while they are running Freeze on a 1 train operation. It takes way too long. We waited an hour last time. Batman, I won't ride out here unless the line is super short. They take way too long to get people on and off. I am amazed at how San Antonio goes so fast on theirs. Now if we can just get Shock Wave opened back up......

Linders Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 It's actually going to be a gift shop Oh boy, another gift shop! Not enough of those around. LOL. I assumed a photo booth because there is what looks like a camera on Titan coming through the last set of helixes. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadster Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Freeze was running 2 trains this afternoon/evening. The photo's will be sold in the gift shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopThrill182 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Where were the indicator lights previously? (I've never been on NTAG before.) Glad to see the modifications weren't too drastic. And I'd bet dispatch times will improve as things settle down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me a long time to figure it out. Probably not till I was 22 and I have been working service jobs since 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
