I just wanted to post my observations of this year's Millennium Force crew based on my visit last night. In my five years straight of visiting the park at least once (sometimes much more) per season, I don't think I have ever seen Millennium Force run as well as I saw it run on my recent trip.
It was amazing to be in a line that moved almost as quickly as the line for Raptor, and to see the load station crew members with their thumbs up and the train clear before the previous train even reached the last over-bank.
Hats off to the crew, for making that line faster than I have ever seen it move in my life!
John McCain: The Ride
Being Mavericky since 2007!
I was there last Sunday and I couldn't believe how quickly they were moving the trains. I noticed that the crew had their thumbs up when the previous train was going over the bunny hill at the end. This was happening train after train. We got in early with our JC pass and got to ride four times before the gp came in. I made a comment to my girlfriend about how the train comming in wasn't even stopping in the holding erea but going right into the unloading station. We both agreed that it was because Josh was working. Great job Josh and the rest of the crew too!!! Keep up the good work and we'll see you soon.
I'm going to have to second this. In both of the days I was there this past week, Milliennium Force ran very well. I very rarely saw a train stop on the brakes, and on the couple occasions it did, it was a very short wait. I managed to ride Millennium Force 14 times on Wednesday, and that was with a couple hours break early in the day as well as dinner that evening. Line was great all day. Although I'm surprised none of the crew started recognizing me since I went through the line so much. :-P
Thats cause one of my crew members from last year (Mikey D.) is the ATL...I've trained him well...lol. PLUS Michael O. is the TL! They've got excellent leadership and a good crew. Congrats to the both of you and your super crew :-)

The MF crew is great..they are loading fast, and are really nice and funny. Way to go! :)
Agreed. Each person I saw manning the microphone at the unloading area for Millennium Force wouldn't accept a below average cheer from any train it seemed and always had a sense of humor about it. The winning statement for my last trip was "Please unbuckle your safety belt, push up on your lapbar and exit to your right and only to your right. If you exit to your left you FAIL."
