Re: Ride Break Down is "Traumatic"
I could be wrong, but I thought most amusement/theme parks include a disclaimer somewhere (on the tickets, or on a sign at the ticket booths) that included that they could not guarantee that any particular attraction would be working at any particular time, and such. If this is so, this should have been pointed out to this customer, and they should have been informed that, as such, they were not entitled to any special compensation.

Amish buggy tires go flat?turkeyham wrote:The Omnish use horses and buggies. If the buggy gets a flat or breaks, they put the buggy to the side and use the horse. :D:
I have seen the attractions go through a safety fun with the managers. If something were to break down, they would let others know. When the attraction comes up fully, they will tell the CM's to go ahead and open it.
I have seen late openings for Indy and Big Thunder.
It's more fun to see SG try to get into a blocked off area when the attraction is closed down for refurbishment. The wall is there for a reason. Don't think the ride can work with no crew or cars.
how does that work?

Possible dry rot on the spokes and high speed turns while drag racing to the market. ;)GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:Amish buggy tires go flat?

Oh yeah, like that sort of SG would be calmed down by the cold force of reality!PatchOBlack wrote:I could be wrong, but I thought most amusement/theme parks include a disclaimer somewhere (on the tickets, or on a sign at the ticket booths) that included that they could not guarantee that any particular attraction would be working at any particular time, and such.

Are you *sure* you work at a theme park? ;)

I thought that is what the information boards.
When I went to Williamsburg, the Kings park out there made you sign a form. If you do something stupid, the theme park has the right to kick you out.

Re: Ride Break Down is "Traumatic"
Um...no, I don't believe I ever said I work at a theme park. Been mistaken a couple of times as an employee at the local amusement park a couple of times, due to a vest I happen to like wear when going on outings, though. Still, I never have tried to pass myself off as such.Zazu wrote:Oh yeah, like that sort of SG would be calmed down by the cold force of reality!

I'm sure there are those SC who would not be calmed down by anything less than a large dose of tranquilizers and/or repeated applications of a large blunt object to their heads. However, if such a disclaimer is in place, then at least the employees as well as management have something to back up why they don't have to give the SC anything extra.

Re: Ride Break Down is "Traumatic"
The same way a roller coaster wheel or train wheel can go flat, I am sure. But being wood instead of silicone or metal, I would imagine it's a much faster process.GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:Amish buggy tires go flat?

My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?
