Ok, i've heard a couple of stories and i want to get my facts straight. How does the speed or intensity vary on these rides!?!?! I've heard you can ask the Ride Op. to change the speed on Fiddler's Fling and Orbit, and you can change the intensity level on King Chaos from 1 to 10 if you ask. I've never seen it or done it and i want to be sure.
YEA!!!! THREE MONTHS TO GO!!!!!!!

The rides are set to a certain ride cycle, and they ride-ops are not allowed to change the cycle without permission from a lead/sup/maintnace person. They are usually set to that one specific cycle for the day, and usually dont change throughout the year. There are other cycles, but they rarely change into those, and King Chaos is the only visible changes between cycles.

Fiddler's Fling is the fastest, and most intense out of all of them. For King Chaos, the Huss people can change the number of flips it has for the ride cycle even though they are not going to do it every month. Maybe, they might change the program every year instead. During the first year, they changed it two or so times.

Some Top Spins are manually controlled by the ride ops, but not KC.

You cannot ask the ride operator to change the speed of a ride, because they can not do it.

Whoever said that they did, lied or was mistaken.

End of Topic.
