Any word or thought on a ride for 2006???

What does a Screamin' Swing look like?

Why would any one want one of those?

i wouldnt... i think they r ugly and not all that much fun

The capacity probably sucks.

And besides, If your looking for something like that, ride Rip Cord.

I agree, that contraption is garbage.

From what I have seen, Dragsters capacity is awesome, I dunno what you guys are talking about. Its such a short ride, it seems to be pretty easy for them to go that fast to. On Dragster it was an hour from vending machines every ride. I didn't time on MF though, I don't know which one you guys are talking about.

And we better not get one of those screamin swings, they look like crap, and not that fun, and really low capacity.

I think they look like fun and they're also an attraction CP would place by Ripcord.

No, Dragster's capacity is not "awesome." A 30 minute wait on Dragster would equate to around a 15-20 minute wait on Raptor and Magnum.

Yeah but a 30 minute wait on Dragster is short.

Or at least it was last year.

But Raptor and Magnum definatly have really good capacity. There's no arguing about that. ;)

I think Millennium Force queue always moves faster. Let me explain my theory. Ok For Millennium Force your moving like every minute, compared to Top Thrill Dragster you could be standing in the same spot for like 10 minutes because they don't allow as many people in the station at once. Another thing is they check the lapbars a lot for that ride. Don't get me Wrong here, I think thats important! Millennium Force does the same thing, but it moves faster because there is always a train going up the hill. The thing about Millennium Force though is that you could be stopped for a while because some guests can't get the belt over and have to leave the ride because they couldn't get it over. So they are kinda equal as far as wait times are concerned...IMO anyways.

That sounds about right Shawn.
Although that part about "Dragster only letting so many people in" kind of confused me since it's hard to tell that seeing that the station almost always looks crowded, even though it is in reality sometimes not.:)

I think he meant that MF only let's so many people in, (you can't wait for specific seats except front and back) therefore the line moves every time a train gets filled. Whereas on dragster people cram into the dragster station and sometimes the line seems like it isn't moving because the station is thining out and people arn't filling it back in.

Because of the "craming" of people on dragster, i have noticed more often than not, the rear seats of the 2nd loading station often has shorter lines because people can not see or get through to those lines.

The way people are stacked up in dragsters station seems very chaotic to me. I think it would go smoother if they did the same thing as MF, only let people wait for front and back, and then just let in enough people to fill the next train.

I remember going opening day of 2003 and being assigned a seat on Dragster. I recall them only letting people into the station before loading, like on MF.

i do too... but that went out the window... now it is crowded like magnum... i always feel like im not even in a line for a seat when im in the station... i think may b they should fix that in 2006... idk may b im the only 1 who is crowded in the station for magnum.

I rode Dragster once in 2003 when they still had the tires and spoiler on the back of the trains. When we got to the station the guy assigned us to get in line for the front seat which was like an extra half hour.

Yeah Magnum needs to extend the station queues a little. Maybe make a little another queue inside the line of maybe two spaces. Another option is do what Millennium Force does and just let a certain amount of people in the station for Magnum. Magnum isn't the only one that crams everyone in, Gemini tends to do it too.

I think that all coaster stations should be like Millennium's because it's much more organized and less crammed. It's also easier if you want to ride in the same train if you are with a group of people. Raptor's station can be crazy at times too.

Post 600!

yea but i dont think that gemini is ever really all that cramped... they load 2 trains remember, so there is alot of room unless both trains have long lines then you are right it is crowded, but i still think somthing needs to be done in magnum's station... they need to make it like mf or wt.

I've never felt TTD's line moved slow until you hit the ramp. The station is crowded, but they do a good job at having a 3 train wait most of the time.

Magnum's station is the only reason I don't reride it constantly. If you have two people in your group you're fine, but wanting to ride on the same train with another row it's a headache.
