^NO. The official term for "back and forths", switchbacks, corrals, or whatever people may call them is queues. Therefore, queues open is bad. The first queue block was over half filled. Hence the angry rant.

Sounds like the vitriol should be directed at the Flash pass grunt and not the crew, no?

if the queue was half full and trains are being sent out like that, that sounds like the artificial slow down of the flash pass wrangler.

Maybe just a lot of people in line for the front or back? Either way i heard them say on B:TR that they will not dispatch a train with empty rows. Another thought is a protein spill and maybe the unaffected rows were allowed to board. They are both unlikely but it's a possibility

Today's Bull crew sent this train out with rows 3, 4, 7, and 8 are EMPTY. Row 5 only has 1 rider, row 6 only has 2 riders. There are queues open. This is UNACCEPTABLE!!! This train is less than half full.


Really? Take it easy. Surely there are better things to get worked up over than a few empty seats on a roller coaster.

I agree with the person that said look at all those empty seats. 4 empty rows is 16 people alone not including the other 2 rows. Now, the question is how did that happen? Is it because the Flash Pass person wouldn't let enough people go into the station? That happens on Batman the Ride sometimes. It at least happened once this year for me towards the beginning of the year on BTR.

Or were people blocking other people from going to those rows, or were those rows blocked off - as in broke?

I don't care really whether or not Raging Bull had 3 trains or 2, but my question is about park attendance. When did you wait in line for Raging Bull with a 5 minute line? Is this at the beginning of the day, or the middle of the afternoon - about 2 pm? If it's middle of the day, than the park is having trouble this year. The park shouldn't be that empty, and with the temperature being only about the high of 80, the waterpark shouldn't be that packed to the brim. If it's 10:30 am, than it's a different story.

^ How full was the parking lot though? I'd base it off that, not RB's line, even though that is oddly short for mid season.

I think the water park is killing it this year, I go every weekend, and even on Sundays the lot is full and the backlot is being used.

Lines just aren't that long. Not looking forward to lines for Fright Fest though... :evil:
