Best Rides Crew

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

When I went on Monday, BTR crew was running 4 crew and doing it horribly. The SUF crew was also awful. Granted SUF is a really short ride and a very complex loading mechanism, but even with all of that we were laying face-down on the blocks for about 5 minutes before the train in the station departed. Ew. Raptor at Cedar Point is the best crew I've ever seen every single year.

My favorite ride crew would have to be V2's because they have a very fun time, like the time my friend went alone front row (because we only has 3 people) and one of the ops hopped on and told us this is a "non-mandatory safety inspection"

V2's is a fun staff. Like sometimes after they say prepare for launch, they don't say goodbye. You never know if they're going to do that. Well, maybe it hasn't happened too often, but in my experience, I would be waiting in line and I would hear the whole phrase with the goodbye and then when I got on, they launched without saying goodbye. Suspensful, dude. 8)

^ That is more than true! Or sometimes they will countdown and let you go at 5 or something.

Titan was great, but, the crew? Eh, not so good. I dont think it was only the crews fault because like 10 times, people chickened out or had to be measured. I think its mainly cause you only have to be 48" to ride Titan and little kids go nuts when they pull up into the park seeing it.

But all in all, the crew was very slow. I had a 3 cycle wait, but it lasted like ten minutes.

But I think that BTR has an insanely fast crew in most cases.

I like V2 and BTR!!! They're awesome! I also like SUF becuase one time it was raining and me and my friends decided to stay there, because all the rides were closed, and the ride op. would start asking Six Flags trivia and would sing "rain rain go away". It was less boring!


Also, if you could be a ride op, what ride would you operate? I would op. Raging Bull, V2, SUF, Vu, Iron Wolf and BTR

Again, I will say now that these are my top 5 crews:

1. American Eagle
2. Mardi Gras
3. Deja Vu
4. Whizzer
5. Raging Bull

Needs most improvement, BTR. Nothing against that crew, but from previous years, this has been the worst. Sending a train nearly every 2 minutes is not good, but there is always room for improvement.

Bull? Really?
Gosh when a crew triple stacks almost every time what's not to love?

I go to the park nearly every week so I am able to observe these crews and Bull, while I am in line is hitting the perfect interval almost every single time they are sending a train out. The only thing slowing that crew down that I have seen is overweight people. Also comparing this year's crew to last year, this year is much better than last year; not trying to convince you that Bull is amazing, but from what I have seen it tops the top 5 at GAm.

On the other hand, Demon fell out of my top 5, they are still fast but not nearly as creative and friendly as before. They are still friendly but it went down.

Demon lost me. Simple answer.

Raging Bull is not as easy to operate as you may think. The perfect interval for that ride is where the train on the lift and the train in the MCBR cross.

I've been meaning to ask. What does MCBR stand for? It's another one of those acronyms that I probably will say "duh of course" after you tell me what it is because it's escaping me, but I feel like I should know what it means. I mean, I have an idea what part of Bull you are talking about when you say MCBR, but I still have no clue what it's supposed to stand for.

I really like the one op for Demon. He tells stories about the time the demon was on the train and no one returned. Its very funny.
