Stupid Guest Tricks

Matterhorn has 4 seats in a train, BIG seats that fit two people one in front of the other like in a log ride. Every single rider is a loss of hourly capacity. So the gain is...?

The idea of a single rider line is to fill empty spaces. I think Darph and some of the guys would like to have a pretty girl plop down in his lap for a ride on the Matterhorn. I would not mind having a cute and well built guy in my lap. Oops I thought I was holding on to the handles. Talk about a magical moment.

Usually when a lady grabs a male's anatomy it is an accident but when a gentleman grabs a female's anatomy then he is a pervert.

A man can accidently touch a woman on the butt and get slapped.
A woman grabs a guy's butt, giggles oops, and apologizes which ends any dispute and the guy usually is flattered that a female groped him.

"Was it good for you too?"

I'm so glad my attraction currently doesn't have a single rider line. We did for a while but due to HHN construction it is no more. People would bring their 2 and 3 year old kids with them through the single rider line, and say well they will sit on their lap. There is no lap sitting aloud, and then people felt they were entitled to sit together because they had waited in lines everywhere else.

We had some numbnuts idiots on MiB tonight in the singles line having a stroke because they had to be in different rows, even tho' they were in the same car. DH and I had the "pleasure" of being in the same car with them, and I half suspected one of them was going to try to run us down and knock one of us out of place. Wouldn't have worked with me...I am from Chicago and know that a well applied elbow is effective for line cutting, single rider pushiness, and a host of other theme park "ills." I also noticed a lot of people cutting from the singles line into the Express line in the loading area.

Last night I had a guest demand a single rider queue for Peter Pan's Flight. We can fit 3 per boat, so just like matterhorn, it would actually lessen our hourly count, not to mention make it so we have 4 queues to merge (fastpass, standby, wheelchairs, and singles- I shudder just to think about it!).
Now if only they would put a single rider line at the carrousel!

But 4 lines would be more fun as you would have more confused guests. Single rider line would me people griping because their party of 2, 5, 8 had to share a ride vehicle with a stranger. Gasp the thought of sharing a ride vehicle let alone the same bench seat.

All these horror stories are why we have a person stationed at the entrance to our singles line at Jurassic Park (CA). Part of the SOP is to verbally confirm with each guest what the line is, and then when they complain we say I told you so. The worst is when you are grouping and a Korean tour group of 50 was let into the singles line by a bad employee and you have to deal with it.
