Stupid Guest Tricks

I'm assuming that it's budget reasons. You see in order to have western shows you have to have a bandit and a tour guide for the vechile. On top of that you have to have another loader to load the vechile. So you are looking at a minimum of two extra people for each vechile.

at the matterhorn if you hit the advance inhibit in at the load console you get a beeping that sounds much like that of a sled escape in the tower. so what i like to do is hit it and place the ride phone next to the tiny speaker on the console which then feeds the beeping straight into a loud speaker in the tower causing the tower cm to panic and search for the problem on the computer screens.

and to elaborate on the spieling beeping thing... it had rained for like 30 mins or so rendering the sleds flooded with water, so the tower cm was spieling letting the guests know they were wet and to quit their bitching. as he was spieling the stations were buzzing up at the tower cm and you could hear it through the PA. he then thanked the "crickets."

lamp tests are always a kick when used on unsuspecting cms and especially n00bs.

Another thing at Indy to screw with the new hire night crew when I pulled OT was to his a station stop in tower (which would activate them at both consoles in the station) turn off the station show effects (the normal guest would never notice a difference) and hit the station PA button which would mute the sound only in the station. The new cms would freak out thinking it was a down time because thats always how a 101 started. :twisted: Boy was I mean

WOW! thats ahhsum!!

I personally love to go over to Jungle when I'm in MK and ride one of my
friends boats and the entire time while I'm sitting front and ceter just
totally mess with them. Just to basically see how long it takes for either
#1 them to break down or #2 the rest of the crew to chime in and do the
same as me. (Actually I did that to Jim last night)

I've also done that a few times coming up to Unload at PotC and
everytime they aren't able to do the simpliest of exiting spiels.

Earlier today I wasn't really trying to mess up a CM, but it happend anyways. He was having trouble with his gun, Great Movie Ride Gangster. Well, I told him out to fix it, and he did the oppisite. He went to take a show and his gun fell apart. I ended up fixing it because I knew how to, but it was even harder to fix the gun.

When you guys say 'Tower', what is the Tower?

Control tower

Does every attraction have a control tower?

Most E-Tickets. The only bigs rides that don't have one are Star Tours (has individual consoles for each pod, mini towers) Soarin (again mini tower for each screen), boomer (has full panel for each tower), and madness (has a full panel in station)

Basically every ride has a full panel, but the E tickets usually have it in a tower above the ride or station.
