Stupid Guest Tricks

If you check the two sets of Signal Flags outside Typhoon Lagoon, the one on the left (facing from the parking lot) says "Surfs Up" while the one on the right says "Piranha in Pool".

I once asked one of the senior managers if it meant only one piranha, but he said the word can be singular or plural.

It's True!
I saw the Piranha(s) on the Jungle Boat Cruise, and didn't someone say that the water was circulated between the attractions?
Ms. Matterhorn is lucky she made it with only wet pants! :p:

Piranhas! I don't think so! I've see leeches though.

Believe it or not.. the ROA is tied directly into the Seven Seas Lagoon. Not a tetnis shot waititng to happen as much as Pirates or Small World.

Then WHAT did I see?!?!


Hehe, I know they (piranhas) were just part of the "Magic", BUT WHERE DID YOU FIND LEECHES?????

The leeches live in the water in the Rivers of America at Disneyland. At least they did when I worked there, many years ago. I don't know how they got in there, but every once it a while, you'd see them floating around.

BIG enough to see floating around? They must take down some of those poor unsuspecting ducks!

They probably got there when the Upjohn Pharmacy on Main Street was closed. They used to have a honking big jar of leeches the pharmacist would take down and show anyone foolish enough to ask about them.

And yeah, Disneyland really did used to have a licensed pharmacist at the Upjohn Pharmacy. One of them went to university with my parents. We walked in and he greeted them by name.

"Paul, what are you doing here? I thought you graduated and got your pharmacy license?"

"I did, but the job market's a bit tight, so when I was offered this job I jumped at it. Easy hours, no clerks to supervise, I dispense nothing but these sample vitamin bottles, and best of all -- no malpractice insurance!"

The whole rest of the day my father was muttering to himself about five years of university to hand out vitamin samples and shaking his head.

Yes, actually that was the story they used to tell about how the leeches got into the river.

This doesn't have anything to do with the pre-Viagra joke about the pill for men over 40 does it?
