Little Warning on Superman: UE

i went to pki yesterday, and on the ride before me, the ride op started the countdown. he went 5.... and then another op came over and they were having a conversation. people were starting to get ticked off and while everybody is looking at him wondering when he is going to start this ride, he hits the switch and everybody in line was laughing. however, on my ride they did a regular countdown. that sucked.

Vortex rules!!!! (still)

They would probably never do the same thing two times in a row if the station is not enclosed. I.E. Superman The Escape where the doors open and close like on Star Tours.

I like to watch what the ops do on S&S towers. At CP one time, the op was looking at these two girls on the side of the car that has tow seats, they were petrified. But the op said ready, they were sqeezing the handles on the restraints as hard as they could. Then he said clear and followed it with an evil laugh, then they were launched, of course screaming the whole way. It was kinda comical.

CP in 2002, get to the point

Jookers Jinx has the same thing.

On California Screamin' at DCA, the train rolls out of the station does a left turn and sits on the launch strip. The ride has a sound track and it is programed to operate off what the ride does not just play like a regular tape. The pre launch music was playing but the ride wouldn't launch . It was there for like 30 seconds and all of a sudden, goodbye!

On Jokers Jinx they say "Yellow Train You ARE The Weakest Link Good-Bye" then they launch you.

Hypersonic does not go the second it turns greens all the time. When I rode it it was 7 seconds after it had turned greened before we launched. Humans still press the button. So just cause it green does not make it go. I was tensed up for that whole time 2. Everyone in the car was like why are we stoppppppppnnoooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!aah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. It was great. But normally you get launched 2 sec after the green.

On Speed - The Ride at the Nascar Cafe the ride ops were saying things such as
"Anyone who has not ridden Speed, please raise your hands" and then pressed the button
and of course, "10 9 8 7 6 5" and then presses button
