Stopping People

Post by kurtisnelson » Mon Sep 01, 2008 9:33 pm

What is with people just stopping in the middle of a pathway?
I noticed this many times today at AK, from in the middle of the walkway to nemo, to people stopping in one of the two turnstiles at lion king to wait for their group.
Additionally- To the Nemo CMs. Why be so insistent on scooting to the inside of the theater when I got there 20 minutes before and would not prefer my view of half the stage to be blocked by the middle thingy. Especially when there are plenty of seats in the back.

Oh and BW- Here is a pic of the baby giraffe and elephant from my very mediocre safari.

I can relate to that. The SG I encountered was with a family. Wife, SG husband and 3 kids. They let the kids loose behind a turkey stand in Frontierland. The cast members said to SG that they kids can not be back behind the cart because it is all ovens and the warmers are kept at 180 degrees. The kids were ushered back to the parents, again the parents started to mess with the cart and the vendor told them that they will be contacting security. These SG ran from the cart. I tell you, these people are brain dead!! :twisted:

But you know what would've happened had one of those kids had gotten burned, right? The SG parents would've been screaming lawsuit. Probably were trying to snag some free food....or get one of the kids hurt so they could sue--I have had that happen to me....

Even worse than the stoppers are the SGs who walk backwards. I mean, walking backwards in a crowded theme park...are you insane? Why are you even in the gene pool? When I see one of those coming right at me, I hold out the pointy end of my water bottle at mid-back level and let nature take its course. :twisted:

They were probably trying to get the free night in the castle, followed by a free week at the GF!

Wow, Tsavo's getting so big! And was that really AJ, or Asante?

For those not in the loop, Tsavo is the baby elephant. AJ is the baby giraffe... his name short for Asante Junior.

Yep, the people who work in Animal Care are not paid to be creative. They take care of the aminals.

Hmmm, watch "Death Race 2000" (THE original) and outfit the ECV like those cars!!!

Yesterday I was walking down Main Street. There was this SG family that was walking and being constantly warned by the Omni Bus horn. These SG ignored the drivers for a long time. Finally security moved them out of the way. Dang, I wonder how many points you get for a SG not listening ot paying any attention? I know cheer leaders are 1,500 a single brat. Anaheim police were telling us that while walking at DTD. It made me laugh. ;)
