Hitting Your Intervals

gener

I know there is a Millennium Force board and I still want to put this here. If the powers that be choose to move this, then so be it. But I think this is something that should be noted on the big board. After all not all of us have time to troll all the boards ;)

Not to sound to much like that old guy who so desperately wants to still be young and hip, but major props need to go out to the MF crew for hauling their cookies and hitting intervals.

I was there this Sunday and I was pleasantly suprised to see the line shorter than i've seen it on a nice day for a long time. I fugured that the Dragster being open had a lot to do with this, however after standing there for a few cycles I realized that it was the crew that needed the credit for the short wait.

Excellent work!

All crews are really great. The Raptor crew today was really fast (sticking to their 30 seconds every time). I agree. Props to the crews.

I agree. It wasn't very crowded Sunday but they kept everything moving. A train would be going up the hill before the one on the course had come to a complete stop. It was impressive and that kind of hard work allowed me 10 MF rides on Sunday.

Millennium Force crew is, was and always will be the best crew in the entire park. :)

I think this year has some of the best crews that park has seen in a few years...

The TL over at MF is definately a great TL, and the rest of the crew is great as well. I hope everything else is doing better with intervals come tommorow, Friday, and Saturday. I've heard good things about Mantis as well.

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.

I guess the riders who cant ride, now know it and dont waste the time. That was always the issue. Granted a couple weeks ago was the first time I couldn't get on because of the belt rule.

Props have to go out to Mike Ott first and foremost, but to the crew as well. They're doing an excellent job.

How's the TTD crew doing? With the ride running at a good rate and a crew that gets the trains out on time, the ride can pull through some long lines very quickly.

Heck no when I went they were running 1 train. It was the slowest ive ever had to wait. I was in the station and it still took 20 minutes. Thats not the crews fault.

But, when they're running 2 trains they're doing quite well.

Gomez, the TTD crew seems to be doing pretty good; Best intervals I think I've ever seen on that ride.

On both of my trips I've seen some great work on the part of the crews. Mantis was probably the best. TTD and MF were also doing great. Here's to 2006 continuing to be a great season.


We'll miss you MrScott and Pete

Intervals sucked when I was there in mid-May. All 3 trains were stopped many times while the first one was being loaded.

Glad to hear this has apparently changed.

I too have noticed drastic changes in the length of lines on a "normal" day..

Mad love for the crew. In-fact, all crews... Mantis especially.
