Raptor Crew

Hey guys, I just got hired to be a crew member on Raptor for this summer! It'd be great to talk to some of you guys before May, so post here if you're going to be on the crew.

This is exciting.

To returning Raptor crew members: Remember me? I'm not sure I'll be spending as much time on your ride this season. maXair's right across the street, and I may want to marathon it! I'm sure you're happy. Seeing me more than 200 times a season gets old.

To new crew members: Hi. I'm Raptor Alex. I'm insane. I rode Raptor 303 times last season and 246 the season before. Don't mind me. I don't bite. I just ride ... a lot.

Here's to a great 2005.

hmm...i should start a WildCat ride count...nah

HI!!! i'm kurtis with a 'k'. i'll be working raptor this year for the first time. not my first season though. but i'm excited bc it's my favorite ride in the park. i love it so much i turned down leadership to work there with kippy, our TL. it'll be just like mantis but easier. and there's no lagoon!!! if you have any q's about working rides just IM me!!!

Hey just wanted to welcome everyone to the Raptor 2005 Crew, My name is Ryan Liedel or what everyone likes to call me KIPPY I'm going to be your team leader this year. Kurtis thanks so much for coming and working with me this summer I'm so excited. P.S. watch out for those coffee tables K....
