On good days, we would get 1,300 per hour.
I loved watching how that ride used to be run.
[Train stops in unload]
"Get out, get out, get out!!"
[Train moves forward, stops in load]
"Get in, get in, get in!! Pull down your lapbar!"
[Train begins moving out of station 5 seconds later]
Guests: "Wait! My seatbelt!"
"Don't worry about it! Fasten it later!"
[Attendant checks each lapbar as the train moves past him toward the lift]
Repeat.
It was quite the operation to watch, but I knew it couldn't last.

You are so right about Son of Beast though. I looked at the layout for the ride and it is anything but inspiring. Besides the drop, nothing really seems to redeem itself in comparison to the original Beast. It just does 2 big helixes and then is over... and the loop (which was what made it kind of special) is now gone. I wonder what the GP are saying about it! They must be like... wtf?
I think SoB is okay. It's fun for a front seat ride, just kinda speeding all over the place in circles and what not. On a RARE occasion, if you sit in the back seat; you can get some nice air over the first drop. Most of the GP are too scared to ride, or don't care. It's all about Firehawk and the Beast!
But me, you'll find me on Drop Zone
