Stupid Guest Tricks

I was at unload at Indy one time when I pulled a questionable kid out of line to double check his height. Well, naturally he was too short... so I explained to the mom... blah blah blah... she wants to talk to a manager. I call the inside lead over... she's not happy... he calls the Outside lead over... still not happy... so we called the Adventurland Manager... now mind you we had a Ramirez, a Solis and a Guzman standing there when she proceeded to tell us that we wouldn't let her kid on "cause he's a metz-i-can(that's how she prunounced it) ...*sigh

I'm pretty sure i at least know one of those leads that was there for that, i bet he got a real kick out of it too. I hate pulling out minority groups for just that reason, i've not had the race card pulled on me yet, but it's ok i'll just tell them about the little blonde girl that i pulled outta line and sent away.

Some guy tried to start yelling at me, and i told him, that even tho they said he was ok outside, i've just seen that his son was too short here and now, and I couldn't let the boy on, because he can become VERY seriously injured. so the guy is ok with it, and just like every angry dad he goes and re-measure this kid... and much to my amazment he's shorter than when i checked him! I didn't say anything but this time there is light visble between the hair and the post, and the guy sees it and says something about out side, and i wished him a nice day.

Oh so that's how you do it... you have a sign outside the attraction that has a taller height line ("you must be this tall to ride this ride") than inside.

Yea, that way you can make guests wait in line for a long time, and then just before they can go on, you say that their kid can't go on because he's too short.

:D

Thats because her father had the brilliant idea to buy two ice cream bars and put them in her shoes.

Oh come on! Seriously? Really? No joke? You're telling me that there was someone dumb enough to spend an extra eight dollars to try and make their kid look taller to ride one ride? Actually the cost would be more like $48.00 after they realized they've ruined their kids shoes with chocolate and ice cream.
