Here's the story! Says in the comments that I wasn't working that day, so Hillary must have talked to me about it later.

Re: Skipper Gordon Returns With a Tale of Horror and Bloodsh

It did! The person at the dock was actually a trainee of mine. She told me that story later in the day and we had a good chuckle about it.
I'd be curious to know if some of you actually did ride my tour.

Skipper Gordon Returns With a Tale of Horror and Bloodshed.

Hi guys! I haven't worked at Universal for almost 4 years now, so I figure it's safe to share some of my more "obvious identity" stories. I was working at the Jaws ride at Universal Studios a few years ago and we had a bit of a pigeon problem. The ride was right next to the midway so it wa...

I have officially heard it all

Jaws was dry for the first few weeks of May, so all the Skippers were homed to new attractions for a while. My roommate ended up at Simpsons. One night, she comes home absolutely FUMING, stomps into the living room and yells, "GORDON! Have I got a story for you!!!" She was working grouper ...

The prop weapons are no longer functional. They are, however very heavy and capable of causing injuries. In fact I have a previous thread in which one sent ME to the hospital.

Oh the Horror...Nights.

Well, HHN 19 is finally over and we're all starting to gather in the break rooms and compare battle scars. Here are my two big tales: I hit my first E-Stop during HHN. The situation? I turned the corner in scene 2 and two guests were sitting on the jetty directly over mortar 1. Apparently the Saw Qu...

Re: Throw Away Your Trash!!

My favorite is when guests "hide" the trash from us. I find all sorts of trash carefully wrapped and hidden in bushes, under props and in overall weird places when more often than not there is a trash can 5 feet away. WTF? :confused:

Let's just say that the bench across from the new greeter station is a popular spot for breast feeding...as is my boat for whatever reason. There's a reason skippers wear sunglasses even when it rains.

A They grow em special in Connecticut

I have been banished to Greeter rotation for crimes unknown for the past few weeks and have come across more stupid (and boobs...but that's another story) than you can shake a stick at. This particular gentleman came up to me and asked if he was in a Disney park. I informed him that no, he was at Un...
