Considering also that they installed a new lowering system for the trains when they moved the ride parks, more time could be lost there. I think the crew does a pretty awesome job whenever I am around they always seem like someone is mad at them for lost articles they should get some bins there...
Does AE not get recognized as a Coaster Crew?
AE might be the fastest grew in the park. I would like to see a comparison. But when I was at The Beast during the day I didn't feel like they were going beyond normal guest relating. The best crew I have witnessed was Faceoff, super nice and safe.
IJ is also brand new and if they were to keep up with AE and actually fix all the special effects, I think more people would like AE better. AE already puts a lot more people on the ride then IJ does. Yes, IJ has less cars on their trains but still AE is one of the most ridden rides in the park.
It is harder for some rides like multi-trained coasters to keep track of bags. But if it is a flat ride or a coaster with a single train i think you should take all bags.
Put it this way there is no lighting in lift two besides maintence lighting you have to try and listen of any sound effects in lift two. Only like two spears work in the booby trap tunnel. The station has no fans what so ever. Only half of the arms on the guys in lift two work fully. They gave us an estimated cost that was more than our brand new motor on lift two which they dropped and had to replace parts. I really believe that they could rewire things and get fans without being ridiculously in debt. I just hope they fix it, unless they want to take out one of the highest ridden coasters in the park.
