Messing up the show

[DisneyMom]

Yeah, that "Flash Lady" might have suffered the same fate from me as the poor Mummy Maze guy who jumped in front of me at Universal some years back...
Now mind you, I KNEW that people were going to jump out at me, and I KNOW that we are not supposed to touch the actors, but the guy jumped out inches in front of me, and out of a reflex,both my hands SHOVED him in his chest as I shrieked! It only took me a moment to recover and I yelled Sorry as he disappeared again. I don't think I hurt him or anything, but I felt bad......
I wouldn't feel bad tho if that camera ended up in the drink :twisted:

Too bad you couldn't do what the did at the bar in the phillippnes, it you didn't believe they were real, they gave you a piece of chicken and allowed you to put in on the nose of the "statue" hehehehe lots of guys learned to levitate!

(I am referring to a bar in Subic Bay that had an alligator pit with alligators in it, inside the bar!)(they also had a smaller one in front, but too many people messed with the alligator, so they removed it)

ROFLMAO! That would really teach them. I have to tell you the worst though. We took a bunch of kids and their teachers from Boston to the Everglades when they visited to play in a concert with out kids. At the first path there were some gators out sunning themselves on the walkway. One mom decided she wanted a pic of her boys and the gator and told them to go stand by the gator. Fortunately a ranger stopped the kids. The parent wasn't a visitor though. She was one of the local moms! She should have known better.
Btw down here we have both gators and crocs to worry about. Only place in the world that they coexist.

Wow, that came very close of qualifing as an SG! The first year I visited WDW, 1987, I stopped by the famous Gatorland, and saw the "jumperoo", I understand that the Gator Head enterence was destroyed by a storm..Too bad!

Did the parent ever realize just how dangerous that would have been? I have heard stories of pets disappearing near lakes and ponds down there!

It was not a storm, it was a fire. The administration building and the store were destroyed. The only fatalities were one gator and a python. They reopened about ten days after the fire. The jaws are still there, and they are rebuilding. The jaws will again be the main entrance, and I have read that they expect to be back to normal within the next few months.

BTW, while they were closed the employees not involved in the cleanup or other stuff did get their regular pay.

Wow, that is good to hear! Good for them. A lot of places wouldn't take care of the employees that way!! Every time we go to WDW, I keep telling DW we have to take a "side trip" there! (she keeps putting it off!!)

Syndrome has a good article on Gatorland. I haven't seen her in forever, for that matter...

I though that was one of the neater "sideshow" type places. If I remember right, that was one of the few original "roadside" attractions in Flordia that survived. Liked the show. The aligator meat was okay.

If somebody had set off a flash in my face, they would've been eating that camera! "Lady, the next time that camera's flash goes off, I guarantee you the next picture it takes will be of the inside of your friggin' stomach!"

I think the same thing, except it wouldn't be the stomach!
