Your Favorite Crew(s) of 2012

Since the park has been open for about a week. I was wondering what crews you guys thought were doing a great job.

I haven't been able to ride to many rides, but out of the ones I have, I feel like Iron Dragon was being really efficient and being really friendly.

What are some of your guys favorites?

Well that's not saying much for the ride you are ATL of then is it?

I didn't want to gloat. I do feel like my crew is doing an amazing job. I just wanted to see if it has ben noticed.

Apparently the Maverick crew is doing a horrible job and is very rude. Hopefully this will be addressed.

I think it's still far to early to tell. Things can change as the season goes on (be it a positive or negative in Mavericks case).

I would agree with you! Just went to Cedar Point today and agree that Iron Dragon is off to a great start, they were fast, fun and friendly!

What was noticed by more than one person is that the Mean Streak crew is giving Mean Streak Henry re-rides without him going around to the entrance, he just gets back in the train in an empty row. That really ticked a couple of people off.

Hmmmmm, now those 10000 (or how ever many) rides he had last year make sense. Sure wish the Dragster crew let me do that on Dragster with empty seats. ;)

Gemini's crew is very cool this year. Friendly, informative, and upbeat. Keep up the good work guys!

From my experience Thursday, the crews for Raptor and CCMR seem to be friendly and outgoing. Also, the load control guy for Maxair was hilarious.

I don't think it will tick to many people off. Chances are most people can't handle another ride on Mean Streak Right away anyway.

Also, when I went, half the cars were pretty much empty each time (3 car systems blows through the station fast. Love it)

That's not the point. It is so against the rules and a slap in the face of everyone who goes around like they are supposed to. I am sure that if management finds out they will get an appropriate ass chewing.

I haven't been to the park yet, but my favorite crew this season is Race Park. NO BIAS INTENDED.

Ahh just let everyone re-ride in empty-lane rows! It's so simple...Thank you Kings Island for letting me do this; it makes the park atmosphere more relaxed and happy in that respect.

I've never seen anyone disrespect this unwritten policy at KI. I say try it as a secret rule chain wide (allowable upon request), and only if it causes problems, change it back to making the guest walk through a long queue every time.

Id be ok with letting people re-reide if there was no one in the queue in the same row. Getting up and picking a new empty seat is a bit too far for me.

That would actually be a nice policy, but it would have to be policy and usable by everyone.

None of the crews mentioned can hold a candle to the Camp & Planet Snoopy crews. For what they must put up with (parents/kids all day), they literally bend over backwards to help our daughter out and have fun with her (and us).

I have never had a bad experience with any of the children's area workers.

I think all the crews have been fantastic so far except for Maverick. Actually, the entire Maverick crew was awesome (absolutely awesome) except for the one young boy that had a little more to say than he should have said... (Many of you probably have already seen my previous posting about my personal incident. I actually love the other crew members as they were very personable and excited about their jobs)
I am going hands up for the Dragster crew as number one so far. They have been very upbeat wanting the guests to be super excited about their 17 second ride! Number 1 so far with the Raptor crew being number 2!!!

Unless, of course, they were to make it an upcharge perk...
