Gold Dorms coming down

For those who are concerned about how long it will take maintenance to get to a ride location from the off point maintenance shop...Maintenance workers all usually alternate every other day or every two days of being called to ride locations, while the other days they are in the shop. While one group is in the shop on Wednesday, they will be back on the midways come Thursday for being on call to ride locations.

Cedar Point has a good system going on with their employees and the reasons why buildings are moved elsewhere...don't underestimate it. They know what they're doing.

I was a ride host for 2 years and I'm friends with many of the maintenance workers. Unfortunately, I don't have a link for you, rather actual information from what they told me.

Also, you would begin to think that was the case when you have alternate maintenance workers coming to your ride location every other day.

In terms of request, are you talking to me? I deleted my FB

Oh, see I never got the chance to meet any of the maint. that usually worked in Area 2 or 3. I was in Area 1 and had a lot of cool maintenance guys I became friends with too.

That's not as bad as the Mean Streak argument in the next major ride thread.

I have my fun from time to time. It's a nice browse during my work hours especially weeks like today when I only see four patients

Looks like the gold dorms were just replaced by a parking lot...

Yea, that's been known for a while now. Sure is a nice looking parking lot though. :)
