Ropes and rails are there for a reason!
Re: Ropes and rails are there for a reason!
I had a group of 14 once at Universal while waiting for the Mummy. Miss Teeny Bopper and friend were in front of me, and one friend joined them. Okay, that's not enough to get bent out of shape about. Then two more came and Mr. Sydrome and I said, "Nope." They whined, "But there are 14 of us coming!" We said, "Well, you'll darned well come behind us then." They moved behind us and the party directly behind us, who rode on our coattails. No one else had the nads to say anything.

Re: Ropes and rails are there for a reason!
I agree, and while we are it let's bargain for character attendants to have one too. Between this week and the last I have had to defuse three screaming adults ready to launch at each other. Then I had to screech at people a bazillion times for their character treatment. All of the fights have been because someone cut in line and other people got pissed off. Problem is that other guest get nervous that they start a fight and their children are harmed someway. As a parent that is understandable. As a cast member it gives me a chance to first use my polite Disney voice and then when they ignore me, then scream for it stop. All while I pray for someone from security to grace me with their presence (they never do).darph nader wrote:This is why crowd control CMs should be issued tasers. :twisted:
The rope/fence/chain jumping pi$$ me off in soooo many levels. First, what the hell is wrong with parents that don't tell off their children for it. Second, what type of brain cells are parents missing that they scream at CM when their kids, or them, are called out for doing something wrong.
This week I had several people scream at me because the bathroom was too far away. Listen lady, architectural design wasn't my mayor in College. I only know where the bathrooms.
It seems the extreme heat diffuse what little brain some SG had.

Sadly this is a common occurance, one I'm all too familiar with.BWILover wrote:We saw many but one of the best ones was a lady pushing her way through the line at Splash Mountain. We were already inside and in the Fastpass line. It had stopped because of the storm. It was quite funny that my daughter and her friend we had brought with us tried to form a barracade and not let her through. I guess they had heard too many comments from my friend, her husband & I over the week. The lady said "Excuse me, I need to get through." I replied. "Yes, we love it when people cut in line." Of course my husband starts to act like he doesn't know me. "I am not cutting in line. I am catching up with my group." I reply "You are cutting. When you have to walk in front of people you are cutting in line.
Welcome BWILover. Awesome avatar, I'm sure I've seen it somewhere before. :D:

Maybe someday I'll be a CM...

Re: Ropes and rails are there for a reason!
Two incidents with this today. First:

What's wrong in this picture?
Second, was waiting on Lagoon @ Kingdom at exit, 3 idiots decide they want to ride up front on the train so they open the gate and stand by the gate console. Train leaves (Blue Sorcerer Hat was the driver for those that know what I mean) with them standing there. CM across the beam starts yelling get out of there go through the gate. They just respond we want to ride in the front. I open the gate for them since they can't figure it out and they get back on the right side of things. My entire party is laughing at them, I had just finished explaining how even CMs can't be inside the cage when the station is empty.

What's wrong is that there's no picture. I copy and paste the address from the quote and I get an XML error page.kurtisnelson wrote:Two incidents with this today. First:

Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…

What's wrong with the picture? Let me guess, the guests who think sitting on a wall that's at least 8 or more feet off the ground (never looked at the height that closely so not sure) is a good idea?kurtisnelson wrote:Link from my friend's tweet died. Try http://twitpic.com/8mnoa

I'd say its more like 10 feet. And at 9, CMs stopped caring.
