  1. I am not so sure someone is in the car with their foot on the brake. The third brake light in the rear windshield is not lit.
  2. Just something to keep in mind is the cost to the park. Opening WindSeeker and Vortex is more than likely cheaper to them, I do not know about other departments but look at the amount of people they had at Diamondback every morning to run the ride compared to how many it will likely take to run WindSeeker, Vortex and Beast kind of equal out here but at the very least the rides department is saving a decent chunk of money if not the whole park.
  3. I did it this year, and it is worth every penny you'll spend. I plan on going back to do the new lines.
  4. As one of the original workers for Krazy City, I was looking for a job after KI closed and they were just opening, I can say that this does not surprise almost anyone that as ever worked. It is unfortunate, however management was horrible they kept changing policies on an almost daily basis, at least on the rides side. People would come in to look around and really like what they saw the they would see the prices and shake their heads and leave. I remember one shift working skyscraper they height limit was 60 in. I would have one or two guest on one cycle every 20 minutes or so. They had brought in a ride that their target audience could not ride, later they added seat belts and lowered the limit. The go karts became a hazard to guests at the speeds and had to slow them down to the point few were willing to pay the five bucks for the three minutes on the track. During the week only two or three ride associate were needed if that because there were so few people. Saturdays were of course packed but having only one or two days a week being busy usually does not fair well for a company. The last major thing i saw, more than half of their ride associates came over from KI following a manager just to get an easy job (yes no I did not have an interview the manager remembered me from KI and gave the job when I was just at the mall one day). Then when KI reopened they expected everyone to stay, and when we left they had a very new crew that did not know the rides very well and showed very little interest in their job. All in all I do feel it is unfortunate that they had to shut down I have many friends for my time there and there is one manager that I am still friends with and now he does not have a job.
  5. i am not sure when you were there and they were doing this but i have only seen it early in the season and while talking to a ride op they said it was because most of the workers were still in school so they had no way to open all the rides. he also told me once the schools were out for the day they would have the ability to open the rest of the rides. but that is just my experience and the reasoning i was told
  6. ^ well im 6' 6" and the only issue i have is getting out of FOF because of my legs, also Vortex is a little tight but not bad
  7. well i dont believe it is possible for ride ops to not enforce 3 clicks since on the newer rides that this is the computer had to read that all the lapbars are locked before it can dispatch, and locked on this ride is 3 clicks
