have to share it with everyone.
He was at the turnstyle for the Swiss Family Treehouse when this very
large woman came up to the attraction. To be polite, he opened the gate
next to the turnstyle (which was wider than the bars and structure of the
turnstyle). She glared at him and hissed "you think I'm fat?! I can get
through that turnstyle just like anyone else!" and proceeded to enter it
when, you guessed it, she got wedged in there because she was too
damn big.
She started shrieking and tried to twist her torso from side to side, but
she actually picked the thing up around her and it wasn't sliding down her
bulk. Jorge managed to keep a straight face, picked up the phone and
dialed arcade mechanics. Very calmly he said that he needed someone
to come out to treehouse, there was a guest stuck in the turnstyle. The
guy on the other end said "what???" dropped the phone and yelled "hey,
there's some fatso stuck at treehouse" and all the guys in there started
laughing. After dealing with AM, Jorge called the location 101, and of
course Ops 1 thinks it's hysterical. In the meantime, this woman is still
screaming and twisting trying to get out and a small crowd is gathering to
watch the scene unfold.
It only takes one mechanic to fix a turnstyle, but about 4 of them showed
up to watch. Ops 1 and our west side duty supervisor had to show up
too. The mechanic who actually worked on the device basically took out
one tool, made a quick motion with his hand and *pop* she was out. As
she oooooffed her way inside the turnstyle another mechanic with a
gravel voice said "hey, you forgot to bring the butter!" She turned and
gave him the evil eye then stood waiting in front of the gate that Jorge
had tried to open for her in the first place. Without saying a word, he
opened the gate again and she stomped off, never to enter the
Treehouse at all.
