okinawaboy11 Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 Almost any ride at Cedar Point is tough, mostly due to the hours: 10 to 14 hour shifts, six to seven days a week is the norm there. Yep! Exactly. I was a ride op last summer at CP and every week I put in 70 hours. Not to mention, the humidity there on the lake can be killer. Plus, CP really stresses numbers. They put a lot of pressure on the crews to up capacity, no matter how good you are doing, so you are always moving at a fast rate. That is so true! When I rode Iron Dragon last year. Damn! They were putting out like crazy. It was like a competition who could get the most riders through the gates. It was seriously, get in your seat pull down your restraint check check check, gone, no hesitation. The train would RARELY sit on the brake run. It was amazing compared to SFA. I would think any rodeo by Huss would be hard. Imagine a crowded day and having to go around undoing every harness with that screw driver thing. Yowza!
