Ghostriders crew used to MAKE you take ALL loose articles onto the ride, except oversized stuffed animals. All backpacks, puses, cameras, etc HAD to be taken onto the ride. But then Xcelerator opened up. There they didn't want one loose article to ever be taken on board. They had cubbies (oddly not used on opening weekend) in the station, and full sevice loose article collection right from the train. Then Perilous Plunge caught onto the no loose articles policy, with cubbies, and now Ghostrider has cubbies. You do not want to be caught using a camera on a ride there.
I went this october after Xcelerator opened. They were letting people take all sort of stuff and it was a crowded day the line for Ghostrider was averaging about an hour and 10 minutes long.
Well, I went yesterday and the dispatch times were not really affected by the Cubbies. The ride ops were having people take their stuff to the cubbies themselves, unlike xcelerator or perilous plunge. Many times the train would be dispatched as soon as the other train passed over the station (the station rumbles so you know when). Only when a stuffed animal was hanging out of the cubbies, not allowing the door to be slid closed, would the trains stack. The line moved very fast last night, 30 minutes from the bottom of the stairs.
