I got to the park with my friend at 3:50, and we had only until around 7:30 before we had to be home for a party. My friend wasn't very familiar with the park, and I took him to F/O first. It seemed like a very short wait with the line extending only slightly beyond the loop. I'm not sure why the line moved so slow, but it took us over a half hour to get on. The most obvious solution I could find was slow restraint checking. The employees seemed to walk really slow and lazily, whereas If I were checking restraints I would do so quickly. We rode in the very back (going up the first lift first) and it was as good a ride as ever.

Afterwards my friend was a bit dizzy and suprised that I didn't hold on to the restraints. We decided to head all the way to the opposite end of the park to catch a ride on The Beast, getting Dip n Dots on the way.

It's hard to believe, but the Dip N Dots line was about 10 minutes long. They had two people working one stand, and they still managed to be extremely slow. If i have any employees to complain about, it was these two. One stood around, and the other took his time getting change. When I got to the front, I asked for chocolate. He asked me "dip n dots?" I just answer "uhh.. yeah.. chocolate." He filled it up about half way, and for a cup that's already tiny it was really annoying. We kept walking down Coney Mall, where I saw three guys I knew and went over to talk to them. They convinced me to come with them to SoB where they were headed, and my friend and I joined them (ironic because we were just at that end of the park). The line started at the station.

The line moved really slow just like F/O. I saw three guys and a girl I knew in line besides the ones I'd already met up with and talked with them for awhile. I finally got on the ride on the back, and it was the best ride on SoB I've ever had. It was extremely fun, which was suprising because I hadn't liked it since my first ride on it at night in 2000.

We saw more people we knew and met up with them and got in a quick ride on Top Gun, which was fun and had basically no wait. My friend and I left and went home.

It was a short trip, and my first for the year. I'll be going back again tommorrow (Sunday) for a much longer time, but I definitely think SoB is my favorite ride this year (yes, it seems even more fun than the father).

Seems like you knew just about everyone in the park

But seriousally, great report! I have yet to even get a pass (buying a car in 2 weeks.. need the $$), but when I go, I hope the lines are like they are now. Minus the employees...

Good report, seems like you did know everybody Mr. Popularity.

Anyhow, you should file a complaint to Guest Relations. It's the best way to take out your dissatifaction with a employee or employees in your case.
