The Kings Island Diaries

Post by KingsIslander » Thu May 27, 2010 8:21 pm

Considering how often I see stupidity, I feel that I might fill up the whole page of "Other Theme Parks" with my SGTs. Therefore, I'm going to be posting them in this thread to avoid that. :) Anyway...

Today, I saw guests eat berries off of a bush in the park. There's no way they possibly knew that they were safe to eat. While it is the only free food you will find in the park, I wouldn't trust random berries off of a bush... what were they thinking? Discuss. :)

If the SG eat the berries, why eat them when when you don't know if they are edible?

Hey, I eat berries from the bushes around here (in my yard and in the woods on hikes), but I KNOW no pesticides and such have been used. Ugh...I agree with above....Darwin Awards, here they come!

I wrk at Port Orleans currently ( dont ask ) and some house keepers i work with daily pick these "fruits" from the trees that line the Alligator Section of the resort and eat them daily.. I questioned them about it and they said that they are kinda like a kiewi in tatse... i just hang my head and walk away everytime i see them "picking" from the trees

Personally, I think having SG's volunteer to find out if certain berries are poisonous is perfectly acceptable. :twisted: :D:

I'm surprised at you, Wombat. How can you be so thoughtless?

...Don't you know the paperwork that will have to be filled out to have the SG's body removed? :cat1:
