I don't know what you guys are talking about with X... I waited from the ramp over an hour last Monday and didn't even make it into the station before we bailed.

I went to SFMM a few days ago and Tatsu was having less than 3 minute dispatches. I guess that the crew is just awful at keeping it up.

::lol::




The X crew does haul in my opinion. A few weeks back us Santa Claritians and Chris went to a Chipotle that sits on a hill, where you can see the whole park throught the windows. X had a train on lift, like, every 3 minutes! It was crazy. And I've been in there and the ground crew works very quickly. Dispatches just depend on how many people are socializing at the panel on the bridge. ::roll::


I'm going to try to do a mini-update soon, before I go on Midwest. I'll try. ::)

How many trains were on? if there was only one, Thats not a surprise that the line was that long. On days with only one train, the line builds and never really gets shorter.

^There were two trains... yeah, I should have mentioned that. Also, I saw one train go up empty once (whether there was a problem with it or not, I don't know, since I still wasn't in the freaking station).

Also, three moron bimbos ran up the single rider line to ride with their boyfriends. I yelled at them but a few people just laughed. I should have reported them but, oh well.

When I was at SFMM last year, the X crew was very bad. The first time I rode was the second ride of the day, so I don't know how long people waited then. The second time I rode, towards the end of the day, I was in the station in 30 minutes, I though that it would be a good, quick wait, I was wrong. When I got in there I waited an hour and a half before I got on, yes an hour and a half. No breakdowns, just a very slow crew. I waited two hours total for what should have been an hour at the most.

^ Good to hear things are improving, inch by inch. Literally. Maybe by 2089, Magic Mountain will look somewhat nice.

Thinking about this park makes me ill.
