Talking durring attractions.

Post by head mouse » Mon Oct 23, 2006 8:43 pm

Hello. New to the site. wanted to get this off my chest.

I HATE PEOPLE THAT TALK DURRING AN ATTRACTION!!!!!!!!!


Expicaly during a pre show like the stretching room of the Haunted Mansion, or the library in Tower of Terror.

How can someone that has never been on the ride enjoy it when people talk.

If you are no tinterested in the attraction, then stay out.

I agree. I was once employed by Universal at the earthquake attraction, and can tell you from experiance that there is nothing more irritateing than the guests who feel that they have to talk over you to their parties.

During one particular day I had a guest who thought he needed to shout over my dialog in every room. Finally, I had enough. Stopped my show, and said the following; "sir the good people who designed the attraction that you are inside of thought it nessessary to supply me with a microphone for a reason. That reason is so that all these people around you who are being quiet can here over your incessent tripping.

The audience had a good laugh at this pricks expence, but as I knew he would went right to Guest services to complain. Thankfully, I had a forgiveing manager who had a sence of humor, so I wasn't raked over the coals to badly. The end result was a written repremand in my file. It could have been worse though, that kind of thing is a terminable offence.

The ones I hate are the smart passes who have to prove that they "know" the attraction better than everyone else, and therefore do the recorded spiel word for word. It's like shut up already, no one is impressed.

:cool:

:o: I did that once. Well, not the WHOLE spiel, I didn't know the stretching room by heart at the time and I messed up and felt :o: so I shut up. Never did it again since. LOL

I sometimes say the punchlines to the old corny Jungle Cruise jokes to myself before the skipper says them. One time I actually got caught on it by a skipper, who then wanted me to come up and do the jokes. I stayed in my seat, but in hindsight, I should've taken him up on the offer.

Were you on the boat last Sunday night? Jungle Cruise was my last ride that night and the skipper did exactly that. A guy kept saying the jokes and so the skipper tried to get him to come up.... it was a good laugh!

I was at EPCOT last Friday and there was a Mexican family that would not shut up through the entire pre-show for Soarin', heck, we couldn't hear Partrick do the spiel. Then, they ended up right behind up on "Living with the Land" and didn't shut up again.

When we left the pavilion, I actually stopped my wife and watched which direction they went before proceeding on to see Figment.... they were so annoying...

It bugs me to no end. I'm sorry if the attraction is boring you that much that you have to talk through it, leave!! Don't ruin the magic for the rest of us, you selfish bastards. Now if they were saying, "Oh wow, look at that!" I might be a little more forgiving. But when I hear, "So after this, did you want to get some lunch?" Umm, you couldn't have had that convo in line? Or if you need to talk, at least keep it in your row, okay? The entire boat does not want to know that you have been on this ride "x" times and you know all about it and then proceed to tell all the history you "think" you know. GRRR.. :mad:

Next time someone acts like they know the ride so well, offer them the opportunity to stop off at the casting office on their way out of the park! After all, if they know the ride that well, it shouldn't take as long to train them.... :D:
