Re: Missing the SGs
I've come to enjoy some SGs in a roundabout way. Not the ankle-smackers, flashers, etc. that directly impact my enjoyment but the ones where I can simply witness their sheer stupidity and consider it yet another form of Disney entertainment.

Re: Missing the SGs
I have been to WDW countless times and I have to wonder why certain people get run into so often. I have never even gotten close to hit by a stroller. What am I doing different then the rest of you. If I could figure it out maybe I could bottle it and make a fortune.

Re: Missing the SGs
I think it's more common if you're walking somewhere in a big crowd, like trying to leave after the fireworks and the stroller commandos think they can make you go faster by running you down. Other than those times, I can't say it's really a big issue for me. And I do know how to prevent it, even at those times. Learned it by accident one day when I was carrying my big umbrella with the pointy tip on a rainy day. Carry that thing pointing backwards and they won't come anywhere near you and risk getting Junior's eye poked out. Gotta protect him so he can grow up and sire more SGs, dontcha know.

The SG is the latest Living Character Initiative addition from WDI. While still in alpha testing, these free roaming Audio Animatronic park guests are designed to provide humorous interactions for both guests and cast members. Unfortunately the project appears forever mired in testing phase, as Imagineers struggle to ensure the SGs behavior is humorous and entertaining. To date most of the test AAs, while incredibly lifelike in their appearance and actions, are proving to be selfish, disruptive, dangerous and obnoxious. Instead of adding to the visitors experience, they have become detrimental to it. Many visitors and CMs alike wonder if/when WDI will throw in the towel on the SG experiment. :twisted:

Correct me if I'm wrong,but isn't that the 'perfect' definition of a SG???delsdad wrote:Perhaps ....

Re: Missing the SGs
Maybe you are walking faster. I didn't get hit by a stroller but instead by teenage wheelchair fakers who thought they'd get extra fun out of their wheelchair by weaving it back and forth until they hit my right lateral ankle.Goofyernmost wrote:I have been to WDW countless times and I have to wonder why certain people get run into so often.

Took me by surprise like a Great White Chomp. After I stopped and yelled in pain, they behaved for a whole 30 seconds and resumed the wild weaving.
Still have a scar. :mad:

Re: Missing the SGs
I've been hit a few times by SG's using them as battering rams, or pushing them forward while looking backward.Goofyernmost wrote:I have been to WDW countless times and I have to wonder why certain people get run into so often.

I would love to fall back and land on their little snowflake-but I really can't punish the kid because their parent is an SG.
