Corkscrew Stacking

The crew is getting better everyday, the 3rd train only stacks for a brief moment compared to earlier in the season when it sat there forever.

Maybe so, but I remember when Corkscrew only stacked one train for a very short time. It is too bad that the efficiency of the ride has declined so much.

i was at the Point yesterday and i noticed the stacking while waiting for corkscrew. i figure that the ride is so darn short that stacking really cannot be helped. i liked the fact that they were running three trains regardless because i'd much rather be on the ride sitting in the car rather than waiting in line for a ride like corkscrew. the seatbelts obviously makes it worse, and the amount of time it takes to hit the pedals. The ride is less than two minutes long, and if you think the crew can do everything they need to do and deal with the seatbelts in that amount of time, maybe you should go work there yourself.

Or the park should remove seatbelts that are having a negative impact on operations and zero impact on safety.

Pre-seatbelts the ride would only occasionally stack. They got one in, unloaded, reloaded, sent off before the one in front of it was back to brakes. Now, you routinely finish your run before the train after you has left the station. That's just unacceptable.

There are two logical causes for this. One, this crew sucks badly when compared to previous crews. Two, the seatbelts.

I'd put money on the seatbelts before I put it on the crew.

From what I've seen the crew moves pretty fast this year. Last time I rode there was a guy who ran down the train popping pedals faster than I'd ever seen. They were almost just as fast in re-locking the pedals. Waiting for guests to figure out that they were being asked to check their own seatbelt was the main hold up.
