Cascades, Downtimes, and SGs

[iheartny]

question: I understand why people switch rows, or do some of the wacky things they do. Believe me I know how it could be disgustingly annoying though... my question is, do you guys dislike the guests that are knowledgable and ask. For example, I like to be on the top row of Soarin' and in the first row of EE, I never change rows but I usually ask about these things.

I understand with Soarin' that I may have to wait for the next group. And I know there's a front row line for EE, but I wonder how guests like myself are viewed by CMs.

Thanks :p:

As a guest and not a CM I am thankful for guests who ask politely for a special seat instead of trying to take it from me. On my birthday at DLR I asked for a front seat on Splash Mountain and got it. From what I read it is not a problem with polite guest but what irks them is the ones who jump seats thus causing the ride to shut down while the CMs have to untangle the mess.

Yesterday before BTRR went down I heard the cast member repeat, please remain seated under the lap bar. Of course for the safety of others, the ride went down and everyone had to reverse and walk off of it. :twisted:

Why is it when there is a fence around an area with sharp plants, that everyone's kids are playing in it? I saw security get the kids out of the area. A few minutes the kids were back. More security returned and locked loose items shut and warned the SG parents that the area has railings for a reason. Watch the little ones and keep them out! :mad:

As long as you ask early, it's fine. Basically, when the CM asks you how many in your group say x number and can we have the front (or whatever is appropriate for the attraction) I'll be perfectly honest, there are times when it can be a bit annoying, but I will always accommodate when possible. What upsets me is when someone is given a row, they go to it, the ride vehicle pulls up, and then they come back and ask for a particular row.

The ride can't really cascade to the point of getting an auto-estop because of a guest. Either we have a cascade, or we have an e-stop. they are caused by different events. Now, when we reset a cascade, there are things that can happen that cause an e-stop, but most of the time those are unfortunately cm's mistakes, so they do get reprimands.

What can make a re-covered cascade turn into an e-stop?

Does WDW "cycle out" like DLR's space mtn.? And is cycle out for cascades or e-stops or both?
