I don't think Cedar Fair would buy Sea World. Everytime they have bought a amusement park that had sea animals,they got rid of them.

You could always be like "that guy" at Haunt one year. He had on a belt buckle and had a fake cell phone on him. Both were flasks filled with a shot of Jack Daniels. Which is a waste, but anyhow..

Of course, since he had gone to the beer garden before that and had a few, he was more than happy to tell everyone about his emergency stash.

I still don't know how he got them past security unless the girlfriend carried the cell one in her purse.

My thing is: WHY DO YOU NEED ALCOHOL TO ENJOY A THEME PARK?

I never understood that. Isn't it more fun sober and not stumbling around or any of the stupid effects it does to you??

Maybe that's just me.

It's a mystery. :confused:

True. the only time I have had anything is with a meal, or back at the hotel AFTER a day of fun in the heat!! I can't imagine running around the parks after drinking a lot of alcohol.

Last year my sister and I stayed at the Disneyland hotel for her birthday. We got conciere (sp) in our package. We did meet up with our friends and had champane at Goffy's kitchen. We had a late lunch and a few beers. We did go to park a few hours later. I was ok, but feeling a little bit light headed. We went back later to the room and went in for the night. If you drink beer on a hot day, the faster you get drunk.

The last time I went to Knott's, the beer rule was 2 beers only. :o:

It's like the people who drink around the World at Epcot, and then come stumbling onto the Monorail. Now, I am not generally going to refuse service, but after a night of cleaning up Cab 1 on Lime (right before driving it. You never love Voban... or hate it... as much as I do now after the night I'm talking about), I don't let anyone who's visibly drunk in the front cab... besides what if they decide it would be fun to push buttons while the train is in motion?

One night, though, someone at Epcot had allowed drunk guests in the front cab. One person got sick, and that caused the other guests to react in kind, and the pilot as well. From the way the Voban had been poured, the floor was covered, and it was all over all the seats. There was not one inch of Voban on the floor that was not solidly caked together, which means the floor had been solidly covered.

I rode around with the driver who had the train before me for a while, sweeping up the Voban and protein spill. It took two rounds, and even then the smell of the Voban (still better than the vomit) was overpowering. Once I got somewhat used to it, I didn't leave the cab so I wouldn't lose the scent in the clear air, so that I would remain fully used to the smell and not have to readjust every stop.

It was awful.

So no drunks in the front cab when I am involved.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Hmm, no offense, but I would think that rule would have been instituted, from a safety standpoint, a LONG time ago!

It.s not like a bus or car, you can't just pull over. (and get out if you need too)

(I am referring about the CM getting away from a drunk SG.)

Just open the window on the Epcot Teardrop.
