I can confirm that, at least as of the late 90s. As entertainment techs, we only ran the show itself, ride&show ops handled all guest flow.Incorrect. Attractions OP's ran the whole guest flow operation. From greeter to salad bar (glasses distribution in the queue), loading unloading theater, cleaning glasses etc. they were all confined to front of the building and had their own office and breakroom up there. They never really had any interaction with show techs or the actors.
2 mins before showtime op's would "activate" the show by pressing a button outside of the preshow doors and that would let Entertainment know that they're opening the preshow doors in 2 mins. Then entertainment would start/stop the show themselves but attractions op's were in charge of loading and unloading the theater and such.
I'm curious to if this show will be doing basically back to back shows like T2 or only run a few times in the day.
