Best Ride Crews of the 2013!

Now that this season is over, which Cedar Point Ride Crew or Ride Operator of 2013 stood out the most?

I'm going with Maverick and Gatekeeper! Gabe from Maverick and Kyle from Gatekeeper rocked those mics (headsets) every time I rode! They got the crowed pumped and amped up to ride!

All of them. Every ride crew was phenomenal and did an excellent job. And those on the headsets weren't annoying and kept you entertained at the station.

I agree with GateKeeper and Maverick. I didn't think Raptor and Magnum were quite as good as in years past, but those two ride crews set the bar very, very high.

My favorite was Millennium followed by Dragster, GateKeeper, and Magnum.

Gatekeeper Crew #1, great hand selected crew this year, all deserved the crew

Sky Ride #2, they get a bad rep at times but moving perfect with full load of cabins, plus also had fun with the ride they worked, great job. Also someone I know in leadership was awesome, she did a great job with her crew.

Power Tower #3, very crisp crew, great working together, lots of fun

Bad Crews

Windseeker--Very unenthused, boring, uncaring

Corkscrew--VERY disappointed this year, also with park op killing operations for this ride

Millie (ish)--It had some bad days..Times guys would staple the hell out of me and smile..dick move

We will be taking you up 170ft and you'll be going DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN 164ft at speeds up 67mph. That guy was my favorite.

Magnum's crew was very entertaining as always.

Millennium Forces crew kind of disappointed me this year. They never allowed me to keep my lap bar at my comfort level and slammed the bar right into my goods and laughed at me.

GateKeeper by far. And that's not a knock on the other crews but instead a compliment to the GK crew. I thought they were phenomenal all season.

Gatekeeper by far, and that's not because the other crews were bad, Gatekeeper was just that good. Great at keeping capacity up, interacting with the crowd and just showing enthusiasm for their job. Very well done!

Agree with GK having a great crew. Second place was far away.

Magnum slipped a ways this year IMO, as it did last year. A few years back, they had the BEST crew in the park, not sure what happened but it's not living up to it's former glory.

MF was pretty good as well. TTD is also consistently above average.

Don't get me started about the slow motion ride ops on some of the flats... Troika, Super Himalaya, etc..

GateKeeper! But I also liked Power Tower's crew :)

I want to thank all of you for the positive comments on our crew. We had the time of our lives. Wish we could have beaten those Raptor numbers. Lucky for them, they didn't have platform gates. :p

Even though magnum' screw didn't do as great spieling this year, watching them was entertaining. Almost every time I was there they oretended to be super heroes and (pulled the gates open, stopped the train using the force, etc. it was fun to watch.

Thanks! I really appreciate it!

Np...Arrows are still better than b&m's though :P

You doing Disney this year too or what?

Negative, ghost rider. I can't do it again until after I graduate (Dec 2014). And B&M's are soooo much better.
