Fast Paced Area 3 Rides

Gab3Ru55's avatar

What rides in area three are considered to be fast paced? I kind of have an idea of which ones they are, but wanted to see what some current employees thought.

Mean Streak, Cedar Creak Mine Ride, and Gemini, (maybe) Shoot the Rapids, and Snake River Falls, are about the only ones I can think of. Maverick has a decently long interval, SkyHawk, you're just standing in your safe zones during each cycle, Camp Snoopy no, Wave Swinger negative, Antique Cars nope. That about sums up Area 3

Thunder Canyon can be kind of fast paced when all of the rafts are being used. Right after you send off a raft, you have another one coming in that you have to go to. You'll get huge calf muscles after working that one for a while.

I think you are so wrong about Skyhawk. I've worked it for a shift and twice during big bash. That ride is actually one of the fastest to work in the area if you are keeping a decent pace. Much like Wicked Twister, it's a hurry up and wait situation. Fast for 60 seconds, then stand around for 60. That's the same with most flat rides though.


2009: Demon Drop/Disaster Transport
2010: Disaster Transport/Wicked Twister ATL
2011: Disaster Transport TL
2012: Millennium Force TL
2013: Top Thrill Dragster TL
2014: Gemini Ride Supervisor

Right, you definitely have to check seats fast to get good numbers no doubt, but opposed to rides like Raptor, at Skyhawk you have that downtime of standing around during cycles is what I'm talking about. Same with Twister. At Raptor, there's no standing around especially when running all 3 trains. And based on your signature (even though I never worked it), Disaster Transport was probably pretty fast paced too when running all shuttles.

Interview went great!! It was with Colleen Murphy. I'm pretty sure I got in, she said it should be up sometime around this weekend.
