I was just wondering what its like to run the greatist coaster in the world! If anyone has ever done it let me know!
Never ran the greatest coaster in the world, but I have ran the greatest restrooms in the world and the greatest Foods zone (6) in the world! LOL
I've ran the greatest coaster in the world but it's not Millenium it was the Magnum. Let me tell you it's a blast running costers.

The actual "button pushing" if you will, is kinda boring, but knowing you are doing it on the greatest coaster in the western hemisphere(and the world for those of us who don't get to visit Japan that often...haha)is what makes it interesting. Actually being out on the ride platform interacting with the guests is the one of the greatest feelings that I know of.
More interesting than that is learning actually how the ride functions. MF is one of the most technological masterpieces that I know about. Working on Raptor for three years, I was able to learn everything there is to learn about that ride, and MF is completely different altogether. Some of the same basics as far as operating, but there are some differences as well. While I worked on MF, my only happiness came from the inside, when I would just take a moment to realize what I was doing, and what a high profile ride this was and what it meant to the amusement industry.
actually, running the ride is pretty easy once you get used to it... it can make the day interesting with how loud the platform gets sometimes (unless you have a headache...) But I think ExMFATL summed it up pretty well - hope you are doing ok Barone! Miss ya :)
Running MF was a blast. For one thing, the crew was huge, so I met a ton of great friends. If you want a lot of hours, MF is definitly one of the best places to work. First to open, last to close. Since there are so many different positions to work at MF, I never got bored, by the time I was sick of one spot, it was time to rotate! Ditto to MFMelissa #3 and ExMfatl! What's up guys! Miss you all!
Gemini Rules!!!!!!! At least to work at.
My first year working at cedar was the year that the millenium force came out...most of the year i was on the train but i worked on mf during millenium mania and some fridays...i loved it..one of the greatest rides. Rotations where a pain but all in all...a great ride to work for
Didn't your rotations take like 15 minutes to make it all the way around the ride positions?

Ya somthing like that maybe longer depeonding on if someone needed to use the bathroom
our rotation took a long time because we have two separate times we have to rotate to entrance in one single rotation period , which can take a while from platform. Also, if we had tickets, it was sometimes even harder because we had to find who had been down at entrance the longest. Kind of different than most rotations at other rides...
Ya i bet that...ticket to ride just made people pissed off even more..i think. The system down here in WDW works very well

Its long, hard, it never pulls out early and theres nothing like a full load in ur station every 5 minutes
