I went on Sunday(5/15) and I was impressed. I rode around 7 oclock and I was amazed by how fast the trains were being dispatched. You guys were seriously, workin it. That has to be the fastest crew in the park. I mean as soon as a train dropped off the lift, the next one was heading for it. At the end, we just went right up into the station, unlike Mantis. We got caught on that (oh so painful) safety brake and waited almost 3 minutes to get into the loading station. Ekk! Don't worry Mantis crew, I know it's not your fault. People just can't understand that they need to stand up straight and for the love of God, STOP BOUNCING!!!! (It really gets drilled in your head when you have to listen to the spiel being broadcasted over the queue for an hour!)

WEll low and behold. 3 or 4 of those operators are from mantis crew last year...They are a great bunch of people. And really enjoy what they are doing
I did notice two people who weren't in any hurry to dispatch trains yesterday. Lots of hustle and quick readies with the rest of the crew, though.

I too was impressed with the Raptor crew-
did reconize some from Mantis last year. Will prob get to know all of them quite well once I begin my Raptor riding spee again this year. Goal is 143 rides this year (no sweat) so I can hit 400 lifetime.
See ya there Dave!
