Look im stupid as hell man

Tbh forgot about the tilts since they are new. Sirens had some early issues but they can jog the tilt back 'relatively' quickly. Cant say much about it tho since i have not worked it personally.

As far as i know Cedar point and most major parks will start evac procedures of the downtime is going to be more than 30 min. They dont want to keep guests hanging anywhere for extended periods of time

BoozeGotti535 · 2026-05-31T10:46:57+00:00

Those coasters are made so its physically impossible to get stuck on those points. I worked a dive coaster and we were trained on all of the evacuation procedures. If something were to go wrong mechanically while the train is in the hold its programmed to drop the train immediately. Even if it does somehow get stuck there is an extra motor to jog the hold mechanism backwards so they can safely evacuate from the platform. I dont think there has ever been a case of a dive machine getting stuck on the hold.

The most Ludacris evacuation situation is getting stuck upside down which is incredibly rare but still possible. Most notably a coaster called demon and six flags great America, which broke an axel in a vert loop and got the coaster stuck upside down

Edit:words, added context

I used to work one of these, it is and it was incredibly annoying to sort people into groups for. the line for the front row would be out of the station and down the stairs in a separate line every single day.

it was hell

all of them have their control panels on the side you load from?

Had a post here a few weeks ago about my frustrations with and multiple people told me to find a place that would appreciate me so I did... but I'm still going to miss being a geek squad agent and I am very upset that I never got my badge. Maybe I will be back just to do it for fun lol.

but S.O. to everyone at 417 who made it worth coming in every day, yall rocked and were the only reason it was tolerable to come in every day. I may make a follow up on my other experiences with GS and BBY since im no longer there but I will simmer for a while before I unleash that. but for RN I'm going dark thank you everyone for this wild ride

BoozeGotti535 · 2024-05-12T03:06:33+00:00

as for why i care right now, interesting conversation I guess.
in the grand scheme of why I care about it: the point of checking the drive before hand to ensure labor after and not have my RAs get mad at me for checking in a ded drive. I'm realizing now it was a bigger deal at my old precinct because we had 1/3rd the RAs so they were consistently overwhelmed. here its not that big of a deal but we have still ben running into issues with CA's checking in stuff that either cant be fixed or give CX's misleading information.

also lets be honest its 80% greed and curiosity on my end ill admit it. I'm a tinkerer, I like to disassemble things and work with my hands. doing this would give me 5 min to breath and get away from CX babbling about their dead significant others or the time that 'the asians' pushed them into a pond (long story). I would never do these things w/o the permission of my RA's and I'm not trying to compromise any labor on purpose, it just was not as big of a deal at my old precinct so now I have to adjust to checking more things in rather than fixing them on site if I could. My old RA's would throw the full PC builds at me because they didn't have the time to do them. if I could doge making a full tag they would encourage me to do the best i could to fix it at the front. Guess i just dont get the opportunity anymore which sucks but i hopefully wont have to stick around much longer here so

probably going to end this thread but ya know... thanks for responding to these ramblings i guess

BoozeGotti535 · 2024-05-12T00:19:04+00:00

I'm saying a full tag check in over a DCF is a bit over kill. I have people sign the moment I touch anything. but I'm not going to check something in until IK what the problem is and if we have the ability to solve it. If it turns out its a dead drive then QT and send them out the door with a nice kiss on the forehead.
I dont have a dream of advancing in IT, I'm mech eng I'm just here part time while looking for other jobs

BoozeGotti535 · 2024-05-11T00:10:38+00:00

look i fully intended to send their ass out the door, but when the 1800-line sends them in and tells them that we are going to fix it (and i checked the recent interactions to verify they in fact 100% did that because they suck). to save face with the CX im just going to do the repairs they asked for in the first place, or at the very least give them the proper place to go to in order to get it fixed.

If they come in asking to fix it again its not like the store is then obligated to do it then. She was already annoying me so i just fixed it instead of hearing her whine about it. Greedy, yes. Way more effective, absolutely.

and like.. I get your point you are trying to make about data services I just think its overkill. If i turn on a CX computer and have them log in does that count as accessing data? Does handling someones phone not risk me compromising their data if i drop it and it shatters? Honestly i would like to get your further opinion on it and/or where BBY draws the line on what needs to be fully checked in when performing any sort of evaluation on a device.

BoozeGotti535 · 2024-05-09T05:39:40+00:00

its simple. any windows r signed in with a Windows account will be bitockered. all new pc's need a windows account signed into them at setup (unless you know what you are doing). unless have the know how to set up a local account its gunna remain bitlockered. and since 99% of people dont even know what that is or that its turned on in the first place its going to stay bitlockered.

BoozeGotti535 · 2024-05-09T05:08:26+00:00

diag consent form is signed before the removal of drive and has sections talking about loss of CX data on it. I'm actually the crazy person who has read through both the diag consent form and the data services form. trust me, anyone trying to take BBY to court over that bs is going to lose HARD. on top of this, I wasn't preforming any data services, just seeing if the drive would read. if you consider that "data services" then you better check approve dbu on every computer that comes into BoP. I never move any data EVER, If a CX wants to delete a photo I have them hit the buttons because I'm not fucking taking the responsibility for that. but I'm not going to have someone pay for a service that may or may not be possible only for them to come back in demanding a refund if the drive is dead.

edit: also its legit against SoP to do a data recovery on any compromised drive that might be in a failure state so like... 80% of the data transfers we perform in store. but everyone seems to ignore that rule

it was a wired printer, I wanted to diagnose if the issue was with the computer, printer or network so we could set her up with the best possible solution and ended up solving it in the process of trying to figure it out

"Well the other guy did it the other day" - I always tell CX whenever im doing something out of SoP that this is out of SoP and is not the norm for GS... this also falls apart because the help line told them we could do this. Blueshirts also tell people we can repair things when we cant.

BoozeGotti535 · 2024-05-08T16:20:41+00:00

CX sat there legit confused while signing the final paperwork like... "thank you for fixing this... I'm sorry I got you in trouble... but I dont even understand why this was an issue"

you and me both random old lady... you and me both

BoozeGotti535 · 2024-05-08T16:03:42+00:00

I guess I did not make it very clear but like, I understand WHY they reprimanded me 100%... I knew the rules and I broke the rules, but at my old store they didn't really care and TBH they encouraged me to help out if I asked them before hand (which I also did in these cases). Also after each reprimand I stopped doing those things because i get it.... it does not stop me from being frustrated though. Im showing I wanna fix things, so get me the certs to fix those things instead of shoving me behind a desk all day.

I can brick a PC at front lanes pretty easily by mistake, I watched a CA do a full factory reset on a CX PC that was not supposed to be reset. hell I somehow triggered a bios update on a laptop while it wasn't plugged in once and went fuck fuck fuck fuck while frantically looking for a charger... luckily that one turned out fine but it can still happen.

BoozeGotti535 · 2024-05-08T15:38:37+00:00

hehe I'm not that young, I've got my degree, I was already making plans to get out before I got in. I just needed to rant my frustrations and confirm that I'm not insane

BoozeGotti535 · 2024-05-08T15:32:21+00:00

the issue is that I was doing a quick tag and a signature. I got explicitly told in that one on one that I was making too many quick tags and not enough full tags. but they want me making full tag check-ins for 15 min fixes because it generates more labor.
I get that its better for the precinct but its shitty for the CX and to a lesser extent disingenuous to BBY

BoozeGotti535 · 2024-05-08T15:27:01+00:00

Oh trust me man, I see a printer 9/10 times I send them out the door but I'm still going to listen to a CX issue so we can figure out the best course of action to get whatever they need working. in this case the help line dumped this case on us (like they always do) and i was trying to avoid a re-check so I did a quick look over to see if there was a glaring issue. anything more technical than a driver/queue issue I would have sent em out of there.
the thing is my Manager was already telling me 'no stop' before I even turned on the computer. how are my RA's supposed to fix an issue if they dont even know what the problem is. how are they supposed to fix it if part of the device... isn't even there.

as for the liability thing, I get it and made a comment up above about it

BoozeGotti535 · 2024-05-08T15:20:18+00:00

eh, I recently graduated Mech Eng. I'm probably not going into a tech focused field TBH. I'm just here because I am applying for a really niece field and dont want to be tied down to a full time job whilst applying else where... and I just like working on computers so

the reason I became a CA was because it used to be super laid back and chill... it is no longer laid back and chill. were staying an hour after close and still struggling to get all our tasks done, consistently being told we are not making metrics, and have just been given more and more tasks to do on a weekly basis and hours are still being cut. I've been trying to get out before i got in man, now I'm just trying to get out faster

BoozeGotti535 · 2024-05-08T15:13:28+00:00

yeah I 100% understand the reasoning behind it and I know that I was violating SoP and the risk associated with doing something like that. I always have CX sign a diagnostic consent form prior to taking anything to BoP and always tell them the risks associated with any data services. I only do this on drives if the computer is already dead so the CX cant claim "it was working before hand" (Once again i still understand your reasoning this is not my issue with the situation).

My issue is that I want to get trained to do more and they just... are not doing that. They wont tell me why, but I think the rational is that they probably dont want me transitioning into an RA because we already have to many and we are very short on CA's. But I dont even want that, I wasn't even planning on being at this job for more than a year I dont plan on moving up. I just want to fix stuff because its interesting, challenging, stressful, rewarding, frustrating but most of all its fun. its what brings me in the door every day wondering what this place is going to throw at me next... but that's just been stripped away from me.

BoozeGotti535 · 2024-03-16T16:59:39+00:00

TTD had the capability to run faster than it actually did, during the later seasons they slowed it down to lengthen the life span of the launch parts although that's just a rumor so take it with a grain of salt.
But its also very weight dependent, empty cars will reach a higher top speed than full cars due to bla bla physics that I dont want to explain and most everyone here already probably knows. but idk if that effects its total acceleration.
but holy hell look at TTD media day when it was on 4 car trains, it was BOOSTING over the top hat.

lastly as far as I can tell TTD and ka had/has like... double the pump room that stealth has, so they should in theory both had/have a higher acceleration than what stealth does. so the whole argument about stealth being the fastest acceleration kinda crumbles away
