OK a question for Expedition Everest CM's

[kurtisnelson]

CONFIRMED:
When I was up at AK last weekend, I saw a kid getting the stamp. They had checked his height, so he got the stamp to speed up loading so they would know not to check him. At Kali, they had a Kali stamp for the same purpose, but for some, they would give a red wristband and then stamp the band. I am assuming that this is for some child swap like thing? Or is there an accompanied and a unaccompained height?
P.S. Kali River Rapids STINKS!!!

Yeah, that's a good way to get an answer. Ask a question to CMs about an attraction, then insult the same attraction you're asking about. I bet all the Kali CMs on here are running to help you out.

PS I like Kali River Rapids -- the second best water ride (next to Splash Mountain) in Orlando.

I think Popeye & Bluto's at IOA is much better than Kali. Kali hardly has any rapids at all, only a drop. It is very hard to NOT get drenched on Popeye's. At Kali, the only way to get soaked seems to be from the drop.

See, I am not crazy. Popeye's is my favorite, and I think I can support it by having ridden it 6 times without getting off in the rain when I was a passholder. Even the Busch Gardens one is better than Kali.

"Oh, you waited four and a half hours in line? Well, let's mesaure little Jimmie here...uh-oh...looks like he's 3 inches to short...sorry, you can't ride...NEXT!"

Yeah, been there done that many times at XC. Trust me, on a crowded Saturday when we have a long ass line, its not a good thing. Physical threats and guest complaints all around the dock. Not fun.

Umm. You could do what we do and wait to get in line until a bunch of lardasses get there (usually from Pennsylvania for some inexplicable reason). Then chat with them in the line and get to be great friends (hint: talk about food). When it's time to ride, say something like, "Hey, now that we're friends, we should ride together!" (try not to sound like you practiced)

I promise that you will get drenched on the ride.

:D:

We use the YETI stamp to show that the child's height was checked by one of the CM's at Everest BEFORE they get in the que and sometimes a reconfirmation before we load them on the train. It doesn't matter that the child may have a KALI stamp; we need to confirm. Some parents will attempt anything to to get their child on an attraction even if they do not meet the height requirement (44 inches or 101 cm).
