Sweet.

I'm telling you I watched the trains going up the lift hill every 1 and a half minutes yesterday at around 6:00 PM.

Not to bring you down off of cloud nine, but wouldn't the smaller crouds from a Monday during the school year have a hand in that as well?

Millennium still has a constant draw though. Its not like corkscrew where you will get an empty platform or a one to two train wait. Even on the slow days there is a line longer than just about any other in the park. Hitting the interval is pretty dang good given the number of other issues that ride has dealt with the last couple years.

Yeah, great job guys, on Saturday it was obvious most trains were being dispatched before the train on the course hit the brake run.

Congratulations. Does that imply that there were fewer problems with the seat belts? I know last year one of the big problems with making interval was getting the seat belt buckled and checked. I am boarder on riding but with practice have been able to get buckled fairly quickly.

Hey guys. I was at the point 5-8. 5-9 and I would have to say that they did kick some serious tail. I was amazed. Way to go Crew.

I noticed on Saturday they were really fast at checking restraints. The crew almost always had the train cleared even before the op at controls called ready. Great job to the entire MF crew!

Double-Post...heh. I'm glad that MF is returning back to the way it was when it opened (interval hitting). It should definitely help lower the wait time, as well as the removal of the Free-Way system will help lower it.

I know on saturday and sunday I waited roughly 20 minutes. I think that's reasonable cosnidering the lines in 2000. *** Edited 5/10/2006 2:48:33 AM UTC by Keith 2005***

We were amazed all weekend. Glad to see Michael got his baby back. He's easily one of if not the best TL in the park.

Awsome!!!

I was at the point in 2000 and MF was at most a 45 minute wait.

Last year, May 26th, 27th and 28th minimum 45. Why do they even run 3 cars when they only need 2 cars at that rate?

No kidding, 4 minutes between launches. I guess the seatbelt debacle of 2005 is a thing of the past.

Either way, congrats and great job. Keep it up, I'll be there in 7 days :)!!!!!!
