Stupid Guest Tricks

a couple of times i have been to universal - that ride always seems to go down during the day. are there any particular reasons for this? stupid guests jumping out the logs? I don't know, when I went last year it went down the two days I was there. The lap bars are on it now so that could rule out ...

Ah, I hate when certain groups have private events at the park. Camps and high schools are one thing, but private events are a nightmare. Glad I was off for most of them this season haha.

Baha, highlighter suit? I've heard that one before at my entrance lol.

Sounds just like the squirrel that decided to attack our operator booth on opening day of the season. Pretty sure he and another squirrel made a home at the top of our station because later in the season we would see baby squirrels jumping/falling off the beams above our track and running around the...

The mention of the "all call" button reminded me of this story. Late one night on the Matterhorn, my friend was in the tower watching the monitors. He thought he saw a guest take his seat belt off on the lift, so he hits the "lift stop" and rings the breakdown bell and we cycle ...

True, but considering both two of our four trains were still out of the station stopped on the track, you'd think they'd notice.

So during one of the last weekends of the season my ride went down (as it always does) and we had trains stranded on our transfer track and our brake area. We begin to pull the stranded trains back into the station (starting with the train on the transfer). Before the trains start moving our booth o...

Ah, its been awhile. Okay. I didn't see those. Maybe they didn't work as well as they should've. That seems to be the case, it probably was a brake issue. I'm sure the op or someone on the ride crew saw it rolling back and probably didn't hit an E-stop/ride stop/auto stop (whatever it is they have ...

LA Times Blogs Link So apparently it rolled back...I don't recall a lot of info on Pony being I only rode it once and was not impressed by it...but it only goes 38 mph? And it doesn't have a horribly high hill to clear....I'm surprised it rolled back, and even more surprised that there was no activ...

At my park most of our rides don't have grouper positions either, most rides you just pick your row. Sometimes I get sent to one of our park's water attractions, it's a rapids ride like Kali River Rapids in WDW (except much older and pretty boring since all the effects have been turned off over the ...
