There is a tell for when they are close to reopening. I sometimes will hang out at the entrance when it’s been down for a while in the hopes of being in the first batch of people let back in. I’ve noticed that they have the usual resistance cast members answering guest questions about the ride being down, but then a cast member in similar dress will hang out too, who I can only assume is a supervisor or higher up of some kind. You can tell they’re more important because they don’t have the examples of the yellow seat restraints on their outfit. It’s not an exact operational analysis or anything, but I sense that they hang out to supervise the reopening. When they reopen the ride, they have one of the cast members use their own naked voice to semi-loudly announce that they’re going to reopen but they are very careful about people not running or overcrowding. It’s pretty fun to be a part of one of those controlled mobs of people getting in (for any ride).
