I've been on Magnum when they wouldn't run without a completely full train. On said day it barely crested the second hill, and they were down to one-train operation (I got 42 rides that day). Even with the trims open, the ride was running a full 10 seconds slow.
If I were in charge, I would not have run the ride that day!

Hey Jeff I know all about rides running slow in the morning. Last season when we went to Hershey the Wildcat was going to open late. We rode the Wild Mouse and after that the Wildcat was open. that ride was slow I didn't think it was going to make it over the second hill. We rode at night and it was a hundred times faster. I think the best time to ride coasters are in Miday when the temprature is hottest or before the park closes that night. Thats when you get the fastest rides.
