Nope,on slower days we still have to have guests watch the pre-show before riding.Well that's how it has been when I've worked there this season,I never was allowed to let anyone skip the pre-show.

Please I did it at Batman when I was the lead. Me and one other person were able to check 32 seats with seatbelts, empty seats, and guest with unique body proportions before the train hit the service brakes and not stack trains. Its a matter of a focused and dedicated team that's all. There is no need to waste money staffing 4 people at a ride when it is not needed at all times.

I did it most of the time as well.During the summer it's hard because it's rediculously hot up there in the Batman station.Well for me and Tim or Glen we would almost never stack,only time we did is when we had to tell some idiot that they can't leave there stuff to the side,then we would have to argue with them that it has to go with someone not riding or back in a locker then proceed to get yelled at,or when we had a larger guest.But other than that we sent the train by the time it was going into safety,and sometimes service as well.But I was really never at Batman with you Robbert

But yeah Superman can definatly be dispatched faster and so can Bizarro.I guerentee if you took our Batman crew and put us at Superman or Bizarro we would easily get target throughput.

It sounds like there getting desperate to get out of Chapter 11.

In the hearing last week, Six Flags Chief Financial Officer Jeff Speed testified that the company may not have enough cash to keep operating should the company remain in bankruptcy into May.

I don't really know alot about financial stuff like this situation,but from reading that,it doesn't sound good to me right now.I would hope it wouldn't take untill May,but with the way this is going it may end up like that and bye bye Six Flags.

Okay you make a great point. But maybe for now on they could put a plaque in front of their rides saying how thrilling and whay age group each ride is ment to be. Like the website.

No need to spend the money on that,that's the team member at the entrance of the rides job,all the people need to do is ask us.

Guests don't read signs anyway,and I know from experiance,they are either completely oblivious to the signs,or they don't think the sign applies to them or don't believe the sign,then they ask us in the end anyway.

^Not if your a re-hire Robbie I don't think.But during training you can walk around the park for like Daycation training or whatever,or take a detour to clock out.

Got my wisdom teeth out this morning and now I feel absolutly horrible!

Those look like Demon Drop parts and they are at Dorney so it looks like Dorney might be getting them..

Pictures are from Newsplusnotes.

I just saw a Wizarding World of Harry Potter commercial while watching House.There doing some heavy advertising for it!Hopefully there 100 Million dollar investment will pay off in the long run.But I've been following the construction pretty closely and it looks like some of the best theming you will see at any theme park in the world.

Well working with amusements for almost 23 years, I have ran the following rides Himalaya, Flying Bobs, Round Up, Tilt a Whirl, Super Sizzler, Sky Diver, Trabant, Pharoah's Fury, Swinger, Cliff Hanger, Spider, Gravitron, Merry Go Round, Zipper, All Kiddie Rides, Cinema 180, Paratroper, Log Flume, Matahorn, Raiders, Flitzer, Journey To The Center Of The Earth, Jet Star... And for the past 15 years i have been setting up and dismatleing the Super Sizzler for a great company been there now 15 years but its time for a change. Im now wanting to get to work for Six Flags Great Adventure. With my experiance i think i would have a good chance for getting in with the employees there.

If your just going to be a Team Member they wouldn't ask for any of that stuff anyways.

thanks.

and another question.

you know how six flags has the like week or so that considered spring break on their calender when is that?

March 27th - April 4th I think.Which is a Saturday - Sunday.

Think Spiderman,but way cheaper.That's what it kind of is.

Trust me,Chiller will never ever ever ever ever be back at any Six Flags park,expecially our park.Right now it would be dumb for Six Flags to take it out,attempt to fix it which doesn't guarentee it running reliably,then putting it back in at a park where it will run horrible again.

There was just too many flaws with the ride and computer to even want to fix.The amount of money it would take to fix the bugs in it,then maintain the ride itself would be HUGE and not smart spending,especially when you are in bankruptcy.I know that Shapiro and Mark Kane wouldn't want another maintenance nightmare ontop of Kingda Ka.

Chiller is gone forever and the park will never bring it back,even if it were the last roller coaster in the world.

Maybe this video will help all of us cure our off-season fever. I made this from used, unused, and shot footage I did for my site. Please enjoy!

Good job man,just the one thing I didn't like was the POV clips,I am real against filming on rides,except if you get permission like TPR does,but other than that nice job!

Ka doesn't have nearly as many problems as Chiller did.

I really can't wait for this year and hope I get to work with all the friends I made last year wherever I am.But I have a feeling this year is going to be alot differant.

I cant let it go, it never hyad a good run at th park.

lol that's Premier Rides fault for making a lemon

didnt see any pics of it taken down and sitting in a field on his website, not sure he has any of it

Hmm,I looked too,I know he had an update with some pictures of it in a field.But I guess he took them down.

^Chiller will never see the inside of a park again.But Flying Phill has pictures of it on his site.

They can add Flats now,we have plenty of staff for it,and I would hope they would choose reliable as well.

Me too; Hugh Laurie is brilliant...

He is!He is also one of my favorite actors.But I think in the new episodes expecially the new one on Monday,it's to much stuff involved with House and Cuddy's relationship.But I did really like the new one Monday,the girl's illness was interesting with the lying and all.

Nah,but I am now addicted to House

I'm done and have been since the first time I posted about Burke being back.I didn't plan on this going past my first post,sorry.

Don't choose either,it's dumb,same thing happened on GADVonline with this rediculous argument.It's really a old SF management Fan boy who added coasters Vs me who likes Shapiro and thinks Burke wasn't too smart buisness wise.

Then you would be a fool. At 5 years, Shapiro has run SIX almost as long as PKS (~7 years). Mark did nothing.

 

Mark Shapiro is like Michael Spindler.

Maybe he ran the company better and made money for alittle,but he ran the parks like complete ass.(Burke I'm talking about)

When SIX emerges from bankruptcy and still falters, will you still blame Burke?

Most definatly
