First dispatch of the day on Vu in 1a . That was quite a ride. Overall the crowds were light/moderate, there seemed to be a ton of people in HH. The midway in front of the HH entrance and Viper was really congested all day. I managed to get 10 rides on RB today, every one in the back row outside . RB queue averaged 20 minutes or so, with 4 or 5 switchbacks open most of the day. NOTE: Viper's grouper is so useless...today she let way too many people in at once and in intervals way to close to each other...when you got in the station you could not even tell there was a grouper. It was still packed to the walls. Stupid.
(+)s:
-RB and S:UF crews were doing a great job with dispatching, those queues were flying.
-Vu ran for a good part of the day, and it opened with the park.
-RB was hauling today...great speed and airtime.
-I got two-click rides on half of my RB rides..awesome airtime.
-Demon was fun, I really enjoy it in seat 6-1.

-Viper's grouper is useless...
-TONS of line jumping today, most of the time people think they can save spots in line for their friends. That pisses me off so much. Plus I didn't see any security officers all day long.
-crowds got heavy during the mid-afternoon..but toned down around 5 or 6.
-Iron Wolf was TERRIBLE. It hurt so bad...usually I'll ride any coaster but man was that ride not fun. I don't see myself getting back on this for a WHILE. bad.
You say that the lines toned down by 5:00 or 6:00, but what was about the average wait time for Demon, SUF, V2, BTR, or some other coaster during the day. For SUF, were people going through all the switchbacks??
"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
S:Uf had two or three switchbacks open most of the day, while later on the line was 2/3rds of the way down the stretch to the station with no switchbacks or anything.. Demon was probably 10 to 15 minutes all day (queue rarely got around the cave, so that you could see it from the midway), Batman was 20-25 minutes during the afternoon, but slowly started shortening at around 5 or so. It's queue never got into the "ghetto" switchbacks. I got on after a 5 minute wait at 5:30. Didn't go on V2 but looked like 20 minutes or so most of the day. I didn't really wait for Vu since I got on twice early, but it looked to be around 45 minutes to an hour for the most part. It kept breaking down though, I believe.
Overall pretty good.

You think the Bull crew was good thursday? I think they were horrible. They once had a time when one train was in the station, and there were two trains stacked behind it.
^^That usually isn't the crews fault. There are guests who chicken out last minute, who do not fit, who forgot to put away a loose article, etc. Those are things that can't be avoided.(As of now.)
whenever I was in line/in the station they werre dispatching trains every 1:30 or so. That is really good, plus they were running three trains, which is more than most Six Flags parks can say about their big coasters.

yeah the first time I was there this season, a new train was being dispatched as the one ahead of it ascended the large bunny hill after the first turnaround. Amazing times.
