LOKJAW Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 It was a nuisance is all. I'm a broad shouldered guy, I just drop a shoulder and pass on through. It is amusing to look behind to see how many people follow through the hole I open. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I have a question to those who've been to Carowinds or Canada's Wonderland kind of recently- Do Behemoth and Intimidator have the same slow loading issues as Diamondback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricsun Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I didn't ride Intimidator this visit as we didn't have time. But generally for Carowinds, their "hustle" seems slower than KI for all the rides. They have a decent number of team on the ride, unlike say Michigan's Adventure that has one person on their flyer ride and 2 for their roller coasters. My friend says, things are just slower in the south and there's not a rush. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoChickens Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 When we visited Carowinds a couple weeks ago, Intimidator was indeed stacking through most of our time in line. Then, a "driver" change resulted in chatter over her mic, informing the crew of where trains where, and that a stack was imminent. Her motivational skills must be great, the change in the crew was immediate. They did nothing different, but they hustled for her. Stacking went from every train to no more than once every 4 or 5 cycles. At wich point she would only say, " We are now stacked, this train needs to leave." Pride in workmanship can go a long way. As I said, they did nothing different, all restraints got checked, just at a faster pace. Was she possibly a supervisor? I don't know, but I know they went from going through the motions, to getting the job done. I will say, though we didn't ride Diamonback after ERT, during that time there seemed to be a conscious effort to have some hustle to dispatch. I hope it is contagious, and this crew gets in a groove that was sorely missed last season. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 And sometimes all it takes is someone saying "lets go". Its amazing what just a little motivation can do. Similar to last year with Banshee. It seemed to be a little pushy for riders but none the less, someone pointing out whats going on can make things run so much smoother 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I checked when I was at the park Saturday, but didn't see any wifi. I wasn't near the new Starbucks. Anyone care to give their experiences of trying to use wifi there? I'm curious if they have any definite plans for park-wide wifi or if it was just an off-the-cuff, indefinite "sometime in the future" speculation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious if they have any definite plans for park-wide wifi or if it was just an off-the-cuff, indefinite "sometime in the future" speculation. While inside Starbucks Friday night, I pulled out my phone, turned on the Wi-Fi, and scanned for networks. The only network it found was the park's private, secured network. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 ^ Bus parking information from the park's website: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/images/uploads/file/2015ParkingInstructions%282%29.pdf Of course, even if the bus qualifies for free parking, your school might charge field trip attendees for transportation.

electricsun Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Thank goodness I did not tell the niece and nephews about meeting superheroes. They would have been really sad.
