Stupid Guest Tricks

Like it says in my profile...it's always but he just rode (insert attraction name here) why can't he ride here. Or..oh this isn't that bad..what if I just hold him/her/it ? Look...if it was ok to hold him/her/it..I would have said so.Yeeesh......!

My least favorite thing to do when I was a CM was closing Dumbo. One person would pull a trash can in the entrance, while others would stand around the outside of the queue so people wouldn't duck under the chains, and another would follow the line, so no one could get in line behind him/her.

Every night I did this I would continuously have people coming up to me, trying to get in line. Then of course they would get furious when I told them that it was closed for the night, and scream at me for ruining their child's day. The extremely rude ones would push their kids at me, making tell the kids no, just so I look like the bad guy. Or say to me, "My Johnny just HAS to ride this! It's the only thing he wants to do, and we're leaving tomorrow!"

Okay, so if Dumbo was that important to your kid, WHY on earth didn't you make some sort of effort to go on it before closing the night before you leave? If it mean that much to their kid, they should have sucked it up and waited in line. :roll:

The other day at Knott's, my 7 year old and I were already aboard Montezooma's Revenge when the CM asked if he could check my daughter's height. I said "yeah, man, please do". She was just fine, being about 1 inch taller than the requirement. When they got back, he was kind of trying to explain that they had to check, etc, and I thanked him for checking. He looked at me and said "thats the first time anybodies ever thanked me for that!" I told him I knew it was a safety issue, and I dont want my kid dying just because I wanted her to ride. In my opinion, people who cheat to take their kids on dangerous machinery should be put in prison. Also, its THE CM's call wether or not my kid and I get to ride. It is NOT A GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO RIDE! If I dont fit into the restraints, I DONT GET TO RIDE! Period! If my kid isnt tall enough, they DONT RIDE! Period! I wish that guests would understand this simple fact, it would sure make everyone's experience a lot more pleasant.

Would you believe I never got a complaint? I guess I have the kind of face that inspires pity in even the grumpiest guest.

Don't parents realize, when they stuff socks up their kids' shoes, they're teaching them to lie and cheat in order to get what they want?

I didn't think people from Nebraska were that pathetic....

I liked this so much I had to quote it. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

The Matterhorn just opened up and we are all excited that it opened, but one CM has promised 20 bucks to the first person to get a defined butt cheek stuck in the gates. So far I've seen a kids head get stuck and I've hit a few people in the groin after I told them to step back. Good times for us all. There's something for everyone to be thankful for, more stupid guests to laugh at.

I"LL DO IT! what day will he/she be there, i'll practice it at indy!

Please tell me it'll hit a lift stop, or at least a station stop if i do that, oooo, and i'll do it like five times in a row so that you get masive station backup and have to go 101, Matterhorn cascades right?

Ok so I'm out at Gatekeeper yesterday when this pin trading couple walks passed me into the queue. I'm talking full vests covered in pins and the like.

Well a few seconds after that I kind of sense somebody behind me, and suddenly this woman is unhooking my tie from my costume! I pull back and ask "Can I help you?" to which she replies, "I want your tie.".

I was in utter disbelief. Did this lady honestly believe she could just take an article of my clothing?! Keep your god damn hands to yourself.
