Staples? I am more of a fan of paper clips and alligator clips. Much easier to use...

There better not be another pillow fight in the land of Parkz.com.

Have you been there yet?

*puts popcorn away*

First and foremost, just by your behaviour i'm going to make an assumption that you also fit into the 'lazy teenager' category. You certainly aren't behaving like an adult. Secondly (and i'm sure our incognito park staff will correct me if I am wrong) but as far as I am aware - Ride operators in Australia are required to be a minimum of 18 years of age - so this blows your 14 year old lazy teenager comment right out of the water. As for the mention of Abyss, it was being offered up as an example of a ride that (in their view) did not meet your obviously flawed definition. I've never seen a cast member playing on their phone for any length of time. Several parks i've been to don't allow cast members to carry any personal items such as wallets or phones. rules may be different these days, where most people carry a phone instead of a watch, so I can imagine they might pull it out to check the time, and then put it back, but it hardly adds to the delay of dispatch. I do stand corrected on the Cyclone cycle time. I was going off the video linked to the RCDB profile which is an onride, but there was about a minute of off ride footage. Altogether the ride time is closer to 2 minutes, but this doesn't count computer-controlled parking, and the PHYSICAL loading and unloading and harness checking of guests... so the cycle time (time between dispatches) is easily 3 minutes or more all things considered. The only person on these boards right now being a 'douche' is you. As i've stated previously, you aren't acting like an adult, and i'm pretty sure you've said you go to school, so i'm just going to say this... There are ride operators on this board - that you've called 'lazy teenagers' despite the facts clearly showing that your claim cannot possibly be true. (you're lucky Daniel isn't around). There's also a lot of experienced, well travelled folk who have been in or have something to do with the industry. You are more than welcome to express a view or opinion, but recognise that a lot of these folks have been through this all before with the last little twerp who thought he knew everything. And many people will know a lot more about a lot more than you do. Theres a lot of 'insider-but-public' information about the parks to be gleaned from the folk around here also. Calling them douches is not a really good way to make friends on this board. Calling many of our members 'lazy teenagers' is probably going to win you no awards either. Dial it back a notch - you're welcome to express your opinion, but at the same time you need to respect other's opinions also. Also recognise that not everyone walks around with a flashing neon sign that says 'park employee', so do be careful with whom you engage in a debate with, as it could be very embarassing for you when you discover otherwise. (a certain discussion on crowd lasers comes to mind). This is nice Alex. I'd like you to get to know him - he wants to help you. Nobody enjoys it when pissed off Alex gets on the boards. It tends to frustrate many.... so for everybody's sake - please try and take some of this on board.
