I've often heard it during the slide show, but either the timing has been off (to where it's said in the middle of/over Rick's line) or I haven't been paying as close attention as I thought. Both are possible. Otherwise, it might just be that his line is so far out of the context in terms of volume and speaker placement.  Something I forgot to mention was that only the first two queue switchbacks were open, while the third was closed. That was a nice touch since it made sure that everyone could see Maestro throughout the line. This is also a result of the new queue setup compared to Boo Blasters, but it's a thoughtful result.

You know Larry’s flashlight in the queue was on opening day and I swear it hasn’t worked since then has anyone noticed that, it’s not a big deal just interesting 

Not to worry, supervisors weren't interested in cleaning the tables and got about every 5th piece of trash on the ground. A couple supervisors stood talking at the edge of the 6-table eating area; appeared unable to see any of the 6 seriously messy tables. and it shouldn't be a standoff as to whose job it is to assure a section is clean. It should be the "Associate Culture" that the park presentation is everyone's responsibility. Put glasses on those blind eyes so the can see the ketchup-slathered bench seats 

They did in fact cut staff. They no longer have sweeps in park services. They have a dual role now as they are expected not only to sweep but also clean multiple bathrooms. This has caused alot of workers to quit so supervisors and whatever employees stick around are expected to pick up the slack for little pay

And I will say basic maintenance as well. You can clean a rusted out ElCamino all day long, but at the end of the day it still looks like crap. Great America was overall "clean" but it was lost due to the fact that the clean surfaces was in such desperate need of paint and repair that it didn't really matter.
