    Decoding 2020

    As of today, I saw them by Timberwolf. I want to say there were 4-6 floats back there.
  3. Ride operator can no longer use excessive force. Since we are trained to check with one hand, therefore we can only use one hand to push. Tips: cross your ankle and lift up on the seat belt will help.
  4. I have heard they thought it wouldn't look good with the skyline of the park.
  5. I had a "dang she mad" moment when some kid unbuckle the seat belt in the empty seat next to him as the train was moving out on Mystic. I would also be lying if I didn't say I get one of those moments at least twice a week.
  6. the most common question at Mystic: Is this a water ride? Can I put _____ in the truck? Is this the Son of Beast?
  7. I work at Mystic Timbers which is a 48-inch ride. We have huge stacks of the purple wristband, that I try to put on kids if they make the height. I have had numerous times of parents yelling at me because " You are letting all these people in front of us" ... all because I was checking her height. The only negative thing is, we only the 48-inch wrist and nothing else. TBH depends on which greeter.... Banshee greeter= sunburn (happened to me on Saturday) but Mystic greeter isn't horrible on slow days but Saturdays it's a rough hour.
  8. Mystic is also IOE.. and last season had an issue and that why it went down to 2 trains last season for a couple weeks
  9. Usually, if we a see a phone out, when they come back into the station, we ask them to delete what they took. Mystic Shed has a camera so we can usually tell when someone recording so we always ask them to delete the picture or video right infront of us.
  10. my supervisor was shoved by a guest due to a bag. Usually, most people aren't too bad about it. Just the rude stand out. I guessed one dude got kicked out of the line for being drunk and as he came out he took my height stick and threw it in the bushes. I kinda just stood there and was really confused.
  11. I know if I am at separator, I try to work with people but since our station is super small we can only have 2 trains in a row. If you are nice about it, I would pretty much let you go there as long as you don't mind the extra wait.
  12. Honestly, if staffing is good which it is during summer, we have 2 greeters. Anything at mystic can get stressful *cough cough* Separator. Separator is the main cause of problems.
  13. I was rehired back to the Tenders (Mystic). During my interview, they recommended me to work at Mystic. I was in shocked because it was the brand new ride and I was a 1st year. When we had training 2 weeks before the park opened we couldn't even touch the ride. We did all our training standing at greeter. When Passpreview night happened, it was a brand new experience for everyone. No one on the crew even checked bars with people on the train. I actually didn't get to ride Mystic till opening day when I went as a guest. I have created so many memories and became friends with everyone on my crew. The hours are long, since Mystic is ERT, I have to be there at 8:45 am while other rides it is 9:20am. I have spent so many hours at the island during the summer and can't wait for it again. This is the one job, that I love going to. I know my supervisor will help me or even back me up. The job teaches you to get thick skin and how to deal with guest. I can't tell how many times I have been cussed out this past summer. I even went back for Winterfest but sadly Mystic was closed for the last week. Can't wait for this summer
  14. "Is this a water ride?" I can't tell how many times I heard this summer at Mystic.
  15. No idea if anyone said anything about this but Mystic Shed also has the SOB anti-rollback and chain lift in it.
  16. If we go off what crew runs the ride, Shake Rattle and Roll is consider Rivertown along with Backlot Stunt Coaster.
  17. I can confirm it is 35 degrees for us to start the ride and get her going.
  18. I'm gonna talk as a ride ops perspective here. In honesty, those single riders are saving you time. People in that line know they will be paired up. When I was at the Timbers this summer, there were many times when I only need 2 people to have a full train and they would be no small groups close by. The line yes, will be grouped but they aren't expecting to ride together. I always found it hard to pair odd number groups together because guest always thought they were on a separate train. The single rider line will help save the space and allow better capacity because wrapping seat belts take a while. They have single rider line at Holiday World for their water coasters. Also in the summer, those single riders would be getting to ride before you if they need a single rider and they are close to the stairs. I would always call down the line the number of people I need to make a full train. Most of the time was either 1 person or a group of 3.
  19. Mystic Min temp is 35 degrees.
  20. My best ride on FOF this year was dry run day for employees in early April. All the lights were turned off, I couldn't even see my own hand in front of my face.
  21. How busy do you think the park would be Saturday the 30th? I know CP will be busy cause it is a Saturday but cause of HalloWeekends how much more volume would it add?
  22. I saw the anti-skid plates and got so happy. I have been running up the stairs before and fell face 1st before. The stairs down the exit are also slippery and going down to help people I have almost ate many times
  23. I bring my epi-pen with me and have never been questioned about it. If you do bring it in a bag, stop by guest services and they can issue a paper that issue your bag as a medical bag which allows it thru Mystic Timbers, Firehawk and Banshee without an issue.
