Review of Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom

First time I've been since Six Flags Ownership change. Park was nice and clean. I was impressed by what seemed like lots of food options, but there seemed to be management issues with the rides (not the operators, but just general operating conditions and efficiency). At least one of the cars for T3 was out of commission, so they were only running one car. Occasionally, that one car would get stuck near the end of the ride and require intervention from someone other than the operator (looked like a technician). All he did was repeatedly press a button on the operator panel for it to unstick, unless he was busy doing something else and then we had to wait for him to come over and hit the button (apparently the normal operator wasn't allowed). One full run took at least 8 minutes, and the ride got stuck on multiple occasions while we were waiting. It almost seems like they should have just closed the ride. Although, one coaster (wooden) was already closed, which seems like a lot for a Saturday. Most of the other lines for that day seemed reasonable, but I expected more attention or details about what was happening with T3. Also, they weren't trying to fill the rows when there was only a single rider in a row, even though they were just running one car and having issues.
