Ever been hit by a guest?

I was working at Alice ... the dog couldn't ride....

Really? At WDW we're told that companion animals can ride anything that doesn't have a height requirement. We take dogs (and the occasional monkey) on the train all the time.

Yeah they can't go one rides with height requirments but they also can't go on dark rides because we have to be able to see the animal at all times and because we only have selected cameras in these rides they just aren't allowed.

Gee, sounds nice. We have dogs on our train all the time, almost never are they in view of the conductor. I keep wondering when one of them will decide they have to jump off to protect their person from the animatronic rattlesnakes.

That's odd cause dogs are allowed on Pooh, Mansion and Pirates ... all "dark" rides and pooh only has 4 cameras where guests are.

I dunno that's the reason they give us at classics for all 5 of our dark rides and our round rides they are only allowed on our round rides if they stay laying down during the whole ride. They stand up we e-stop it's fun stuff especially on Dumbo.

They're allowed on Roger Rabbit (which is just mean, I mean the ride spins) unless they've changed it real recently. Granted I haven't been in Toontown much or at work for that matter.

Anyone at WDW. COLDFIRE PUT THE GUN DOWN.

Mark my words run when you see the person who has a mini pony. Im not joking. This person walked into Fantasmic with a freakin pon...

COLDFIRE! PUT IT DOWN (Look, I wanted to shoot the person myself but just put the damn thing down).

If you want to shoot someone, shoot the person who brings in the parrot or iguana

I was recently hit by a guest. He was big, fat, ugly as hell, dropped a lot of rain, pissed a lot of people off and his name was Jeanne.

What happened was is that when you lose power, you can only stare at your ceiling for so long. So I went outside to look around (It was that or shove a pencil in my ear to entertain myself) and a nice limb came over to visit my leg. Bruised a little bit. Thanks Jeanne you little....

When I'm in a greeter position no matter where I am in the park those damn ECVs always find my toe or shin because the guests can't think to slow down before they park AND they have to park right in front of me!!!

HELLO! I'm right HERE! Park yah damn scooter over in the stoller parking. Grr!!

When I worked Star Tours a few years ago I had this idiot honk the evc horn
and take a run at me when he didn't like the idea of going back through the
store and up the exit ramp.

I guess he expected me to jump back and out of the way. SURPRISE! He hit
my steel-toed boot and nearly went flying off the damned thing. It was one
of those Kodak moments to say the least.

Then I went "Mr. Rogers" on him. This totally pisses them off! "Now, this
is not the exit, sir. I know you can find it over there if you try."
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Heh. That so totally works, too. My mom always said when dealing with obnoxious people -- whether professionals or the general public -- you just need to talk to them as if they are two years old. And half the time they don't even realize what you're doing! :p:

Last May, I and another train conductor on Calico Railroad (KBF), were sending the train back to the roundhouse for the night after the park closed, and as we were crossing out the gates to let the last guests through, I looked back at the depot and saw some people leaning against the bullpen fence. I went over to investigate, and it's a couple of 20-something guys and a 40-something woman standing there. I asked what were they doing there, and one of the guys said they were waiting for a ride. I said the park's closed, the train is closed, they can't ride. Well, the woman took offense, and I, wishing to avoid a conflict, turned and walked away, but she jumped the 3' fence and came after me, trying to get my name from my tag, saying she was going to get me fired. Then she grabs my right wrist and pulls, taking us both to the ground, and I grab her above the eyes to subdue her. Anyway, my co-worker sees what's going on, and just then the two guys jump the fence and are grabbing me, trying to pin me down, and I'm debating whether to kick them where it counts when my co-worker came running up and yelled at them to get lost--and she's a petite blonde. I suffered a strained right wrist, the woman had a few scratches and a scraped elbow. Anyway, as we are heading towards the Ticket Shack at the Calico Mine Ride, they followed us, making threats. The one guy says, "I'm gonna become a deputy sheriff, this'll be good training for me!" and starts yelling for help. The interesting thing is, at that time there was a news report about widespread corruption in the Sheriff's Department, and I thought, yeah, guy, perfect for you, going around falsely accusing people for things you started. Anyway, my co-worker and I got ahold of our shift leader, who called security, as well as BPPD. Bottom line, I pressed charges, and unlike at Disney, they told me to PLEASE press charges, and have them arrested--and I did. I went to First Aid, my mom who was waiting for me in the parking lot was brought in, and the cops said that they got those jerks to admit that they had done that on purpose--I guess they were too lazy to work at an honest job for a living, and decided that scamming theme parks was better than being a wage slave. I was still on the train, but I was guest greeting and sweeping up around the depot for 6 weeks. Good thing that as a kid growing up in the 60s my siblings and I made games of pretending that we couldn't write or do things with our dominant hands, so we did things left-handed, with one hand, walk on one leg, etc.. Actually, it was good entertainment when T.V., listening to records, and playing games got old. We knew how to use our imaginations then. I've tried to contact the detective on my case, but haven't been able to get ahold of him so far. But that woman and her two goons are permanently banned from the park. Yes, I got workman's comp. But if you want to hear about people at KBF who get hit alot by guests, ask our Train Bandits! Especially in the summer!
