The staff on Top Gun are polite and work fast most of the time. :) It's that way all around Carowinds most of the time. Altough the first time I went to ride Spongebob in 3D there was this staff member that practicaly threw the glasses at us and was very rude. <_<

I've got to give a shout-out to Eunice on the Top Gun crew. She's always VERY friendly and acts happy to see us regulars there at ERT. It's always good to see Travis as well. The rest of the weekend TG crew is good too.

BORG has a few ops that are a bit abrupt about the loose-article policies, as well as being pretty inconsistent about those - but overall they seem to be coming along very well. I find them better than the SFOG or SFA flyer crews, and they have gotten BORG down to around Vortex's dispatch time or better when it's not having breakdowns. That's MUCH better than I expected to get out of this ride.

Most of the other crews are pretty good, although Hurler's isn't nearly as good as it was a few years back. Of course the seatbelts haven't helped there any. Thunder Road seems a bit friendlier since I haven't seen a certain ride op back this year.

The parking attendants and gate workers are STILL being very friendly, asking how I'm doing as I enter and wishing me a great day at the park. They usually start out the year like that but fall off after the first month or so - yet they're still doing it. Of course if I went later in the day I might find attitude after people have worn their nerves thin, but hitting the park early I haven't run across much of anything except friendly staff.

I think both crews are doing a really good job. They are being very efficient.

Although sometimes to Borg crew could use an attitude adjustment. A lot of them look like, "you feeling lucky punk?". lol

But overall both are doing good jobs.

Hurler on the other hand... They were messing around today too much, and so was the crew in Spongebob

No offense intended to any of the employees who work here, but I've never really seen any crew at Carowinds as very fast. Go to parks like Holiday World, Dollywood, and Cedar Point, and then you will see fast. But with that said, I know it's very difficult to work like those parks and every worker on the ride has to be motivated. Recently, all of the crews have been doing a good job in my opinion though, and when I was there the other day Top Gun wasn't stacking, which was really good to see. The Hurler crew has been terrible all year though, and I find it unexcusable that a ride with a lap bar and seat belt is having the same dispatch times as Borg.

There was this stupid ride operator on TRF. She was acting stupid by calling TR names like Vortex, Scooby Doo, BORG Assimilator, etc. For example, she would say, "Thank You for riding Scooby Doo's Ghoster Coaster." She thought she was really funny, but really she was stupid. <_<
