Demon actually had more than a million riders last year so just because the lines for it always seem to be on the shorter side its still very popular.

However I do agree that if they take out Whizzer it will be for safety issues and not monetary reasons. Its a signature ride for the park, and a family favorite.
Remember, there's nothing but air beneath the chair.

^Lines are fairly short dues to it's capacity.

Yea, Demon has a pretty high capacity. It's 3 cart operation with not huge stacking problems will deal will a walk on or 10 minutes of waiting.

Buccaneer Battle I would guess was popular, considering every boat had people on it, but it's really high capacity always made it close to walk on.

During the summer, I can remember the hour long wait for the Demon with all 3 trains running. The ride still draws the people.

if I'm not mistaken, BB was empty on some summer days. If it has such a high capacity, why doesn't it reach 1 million riders? It's because no body wants another water ride, that goes at 2mph.

I actually liked BB. One day I rode it about 5 times just because I had some much fun spraying people. And each time you ride it you find more hidden stuff. BTW, there is a way to spray the Op on the control panel before you dispatch :lol:

^Nope. You can also spray them over the ride station walls.

What are they going to say? "we are kicking you off this ride because you got me wet when there are no rules saying you can't and because the device that is supposed to prevent this doesn't work"?

Can you explain how to do this? I did it once on accident, but I couldn't do it after that.

^ There is no special way to do it. It all depends on which boat/gun you get. All the guns are supposed to be disabled in the station, but near the end of the season, many of the guns started not shutting off.

^That explains why I was only able to do it that one time. Next time I am going to try spraying over the station walls though. :D

Also, instead of spinning the handle. If you hit it down really hard you can get a water to go pretty far. I got a couple of people watching around the ride that way.
