Magnum's crew, while historically very hard working and enthusiastic (to say the least) has slipped quite a bit this year.
Nothing against foreigners at all, but there are so many working that ride who cannot interact with customers in English. It's frustrating . They should at least have a couple people on the platform who are fluent to handle customer interaction.
Dispatch has slowed down a bit too--- there have been several rides this year where I've been slammed to a stop coming out of the last tunnel.
I too have found the guy with the headpiece on maXair to be hilarious and entertaining. On bonus weekend when we were on the ride with very few other people he was having a good ol' time trying to get the guests to be excited. Very enthusiastic and it is appreciated! Not sure if anyone else noticed but there is a girl that is on maXair who I find to be extremely rude and 'carefree', always has a scowl on her face and never talks without sounding bored or sarcastic. Luckily the other guy is there to balance it out.
Also, I love the Millennium crew, the guy from Bulgaria or Romania is great (can't remember his name) and so is Jimmy and Danny. Through the constant rain delays on Friday they were being friendly with all of the guests and kept us entertained.
Dragster's crew is average, IMO. A few of them are really friendly and excited while others are not. There was a girl that worked over the summer that must have gone back to school that was so funny on the mic she had me laughing many times. Mostly "you're only going up 420 feet, its only 120 mph, etc, etc." you should have seen some of the looks on the first-time riders!
MF & TTD crews are my fav. And no disrespect to ALL the other crews,including sweepers-stores-kids rides) everywhere throughout the park,it takes a lot to maintain a good attitude when working with the public attendance(I'm included in that) all day long.
