Knott's load times

Why does Knott's take forever to load and unload guests from rides? I was in camp snoopy and I timed how long the lone employee loaded the kids onto the little roller coaster there - 3 1/2minutes. The ride took about 30 seconds. The cars only held 12 people at a time and they left seats open and didn't allow single riders. That's at most 180 people per hour. There must have been about 300 people waiting to get on this stupid ride.

Even the big coasters like x-cellerator take forever to load and unload people. You litterly get in the car and wait two-three minutes for someone to push the button. Heck, on the Matterhorn, you are moving before even putting on your seat belt!

Why can't Knotts figure out a way to make the lines faster? Why do they keep putting in low capacity rides and still letting people in far beyond the park's capacity?

Re: Knott's load times

Ugh, I went in march and was terribly disappointed with the operation at that park. Silver bullet was a joke as it took us about 40min to get on the front row when there were only at max three or four groups in front of us (not including the three or four "Special access" groups they let on the front row time after time)

I think I'm just spoiled by Cedar Point
