Best Rides Crew

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby BP317 on September 8th, 2006, 1:25 am
Whats your overall favorite rides crew at the park? Mine is Giant Drop and Vipers, they are always having a lot of fun and they actually move at a good pace. Demon is really good too. The worst would probably be Iron Wolf and DejaVu, the Vu people last year were awesome but this year the people they have there are flat out slow.

Every year we get this topic.

Don't talk about the worst ride crews. Not very nice or very mature.

I thought the crew for Giant Drop was excellant!!
Also thought the crews that worked on RB were very good.
The crews were Viper were a mixed bag . some days very good, and other days just awful!!

And i think there is nothing wrong on saying what crews were awful or the worst. You cant talk about the good without also pointing out the bad in comparsion.

I'm going to go for the Batman crew. They seem to be very efficient sending out trains really fast this year.

For flat crew (Ha, Ha) :lol: , I will go with The Orbit. They get that ride working in a hurry. I like it so!! :D

^ Definetly Batman, there quick efficient and are incredibly nice, comments like "Have nice ride" and "enjoy your ride" go a long way when they actually mean it. For flats I would have to say roaring rapids because they sure push people along, in a good way. :D

^I agree, Batman was probably the one I was most impressed with in the past month or so, otherwise I'd have to go Giant Drop.

I haven't really gone too often this year, but from what i've seen, I liked the Eagle crew racing both sides every time i went (which proves that i haven't been there since the days this year that they were running both sides) and i love Orbit's crew as well, they are always so upbeat and i really loved that about them! Made me want to come back for more.

Viper all the way. They never had clutter in the Que house. Great use of the grouper and all that. Lines went by very quickly.

If you look closely every ride basically had the crew of the week bells.

Batman crew was too fast once. I went to put something on the shelves and I came back to my seat to find my harness locked :x . They had to release them and check them all again.

Hey what's up guys, so tell me what you think. Are employees better or worse comparing to 2006. What's ur favorite crew/ the worse? What kind of advise would you give to them to improve. if u have been to other six flags parks this year. Compare other parks with SFGAm. THX a lot. This post is more for speed of operations and customer service.
Six Flags Ameirca as the number 1 park at SFI.... this is JOKE!

Well, I personally think the BEST crew of all time would have to be Vu Crew '05.

But this season, would have to be Giant Drop and Batman.

This year the park took a giant step backwards. Select few crews have done something good.

Improved Crews
>The Viper crew started with a rough start, but with the leadership is doing great things with that crew.
>The Raging Bull crew took giant leaps forward this year. The crew rarely triple stacks, and brought the return of welcome back spiels. Good Job to the crew and its leadership. Raging Bull Crew has alot of potential, and could possibly become one of the best crews in the company.
>The American Eagle crew has rediscovered what racing is all about.
>The Mardi Gras Crew has finally learned what speed and capacity means.

Crews that have remained Flat
>The Demon crew has maintained the level of excellence compared to last year, and is re-educating itself on how to run with 3 trains.
>The Whizzer Crew is definitely reaching the same levels as the previous years, but needs to strive for more.

Crews that Need Work
>The Batman Crew, I do not think I have been stacked so long, so often in the past 5 years. Learn how to operate efficiently!
>The Giant Drop Crew, I do not remember there being a good crew on this ride since 2004. It seems as no one really cares about getting people on the ride. The operators seem more interested goofing off and talking to each other, than running the ride efficiently.
>The DejaVu Crew,I thought the 2006 crew was slow, but man was I wrong. It should not take 7 minutes to load a train!! The 05 crew could do it in 1min and 15 secs.

The Best Crew
>The American Eagle Crew is possibly the best crew right now. Between Guest Interaction and Racing this crew has finally got it right. Those of you that know who I am, know that I do not judge lightly...If I say you're good, you are probably good.

I hate to burst your bubble, but thanks to the block system batman has to stack all the time otherwise the ride will shut itself down. In my opinion they are one of the best crews around if they have both trains, which has not been a constant all year.

I have been disapointed with the camp crew this year. They must not have gotten anybody to return to that area because it is not what it was last year. Much less friendly. :cry:
