"a dream is a wish your heart makes"
*record scratch*
sorry, lost my focus there...moving on.
The other day I was working at the TTC Epcot station. A group of teenagers walks onto the platorm and starts causing a little chaos. Nothing out of the ordinary, just being loud and making me think of ways to accidently close the monorail doors on them. Anywho, I take my eyes off them for only a second (this is important) to either ponder on a magical moment for a kid or to answer a guest question (I forgot what by now). I return to reality to realize two of the group of teenagers thought it would be fun to take some of the courtsey wheelchairs that we have on the express exit and roll them down the epcot monorail entrance. Normally I wouldn't care about that sort of thing, except that approximately 10 people were walking up the ramp at the same time.
The first two didn't go to far, but the third almost hit a kid right square in the legs! Thankfully, his dad save him and took a little beating (no injuries) and you could heard the dad finding intresting words that were "kid-friendly" so to say. As you can tell, he wasn't happy. The dad also was able to keep his cool and not start a fight with them. We got the two parties separated. I was able (though bad timing so to say) to allow the "family" to sit up front on the next monorail, give them a No Strings Attached fastpass to an attraction and knowing that our coordinator called security on the teenagers and the whole situation would be "taken cared of" at Epcot. He went from pissed to neutral/semi-okay (so my part was done).
Hours later, the same group of teenagers walked up the Epcot monorail station getting on a monorail. Turns out that the Manager of Epcot 'cleared' the group to go in the park (with constant security presence around). Believe me, when our monorail leader found out about that, he...well...
had that kind of a reaction.
This is the best part, you think they learned their lesson the first time and learned to behave around the us monorail peeps right?
Apparently, they thought it would be a good idea to throw one of their flip-flops down the station and beaming a guest downstairs. Thankfully, they missed (I think), but it was nice to give a nice threat of any more games secuirty would be glad to escort them out of the park...permanately
After that, they walked down the Epcot platform and that was the last I saw of them.
