I’ve heard that they are focusing on coaches, but it seems to me that doing the relatively smaller fleet would provide the most immediate impact

I will be going for my first ever trip on Saturday. I am decently well travelled in terms of parks and have a cedar flags all park pass, calling magic mountain my home park. Does anyone have any tips or advice for when I am there?

I’m sure it’s no secret that knotts has had some of the worst coaster operations in the industry (primarily due to practices and not the actual operators). I went yesterday, Friday 4/24 and was thoroughly impressed. The ghostrider crew was rolling trains all day. The lockers seem to be helping as no one crossed the platform for loose articles. On my train, we had to wait for minimum dispatch interval. We were half way up the lift by the time the other train stopped on the final brake run. Basically all dispatches that I witnessed on ghost had no stacking. Very impressive! Also, jaguars operations have improved since the last time I was on it. Fastlane used to be boarded through the exit. Every other cycle would be exclusively for fast lane. I counted times where the train would only have 2 riders. If smaller guests went through fastlane, the entire ride would be held up while they were height checked. This has changed so that standby and fastlane merge right before the station, eliminating drama and basically doubling capacity. Silver bullet was doing well too. I think the new locker policy is working.
