Stupid Guest Tricks

Let me explain myself better. Star tours as you know is a Motion simulator. So people that get motion sickness get sick on our ride. When you have motion sickness the first thing that happens is that you get all hot and sweaty and you try to fan yourself off. I see a lot of people doing this right before the get sick in the monitors when I am in the tower. IF you keep the building cooler it does decrease the chance of people getting sick on the ride. When our air condition is not working we have A LOT of code V's. For some reason when the body is cooler it tolerates motion better if you have motion sickness. Why? I don't know I am not a doctor but that is just the way it is!!!!

The disney gloves and pants are not happy when wet. Driving Casey Junior in the rain is one of the worst parts of the classics west rotation. It defines coldness.

If you wear the gloves, they get wet when you try to get in the train and if you don't wipe the seat enough then your ass gets wet too. While in some cases a wet ass isn't a bad thing...when its outside and its cold its bad.

Hey at least you didn't work last Christmas where we actually had to staff a second Dock person so that the person in the train didn't get a sopping wet derriair from getting in and out of the train.

Ok, first post here, but I've been lurking for a while, trying to think of a good one:

This story isn't actually mine, it belongs to a friend of mine who used to work attractions, but it seemed to fit this thread (or at least the origin of the thread) pretty well.

A little background, my friend is 6'2" blonde hair, blue eyes, almost fluent in German (we took it in high school, and he studied abroad). For those of you who know Deutsch, this is quite funny, for those who don't I'll translate.

Anyways, he's working at the old sky buckets in fantasyland, and if I remember the costumes used to be some faux German lederhosen. Well one day he hears some German teenagers coming up through the line, laughing and making fun of them (all in German). Calling them silly Americans, dumb faggots, etc all because of their costumes (and him looking like the stereotypical Aryan didn't really help much). He nudges his buddy and tells them what they're saying. Meanwhile the kids come up to the front of the line. My friend puts them on to their bucket, is polite, professional (very disney if you will). They wave goodbye and say, "auf Wiedersehen Dumscheissen" (Goodbye Dumbsh*ts). To which he replied "Tchuss!" (I think that's how it's spelled, anyways it's a very informal goodbye, known only to someone who actually speaks the language). He said the looks on their faces was absolutely priceless.

I miss the Skyway......and purposely falling out and landing in a tree.

Joking or not. The last comment wasn't funny.

I think the greatest thing that puts a smile on my face in a way is when we're 101 at Coaster and out of a group a CM will flash his/her ID, thinking we'll tell them.

My response, You work at Disney but your nothing special. Technical Diffculties, check back later.

The expression on their faces a lot of time, priceless.

like they'd even know what it was if you told them. ARS for vehicle apd and timeout in zone 49.5, with ada guest extraction eminent, possible M.E.S. and M.P.D. due to power overloads and faulty feedback lines. Oh and the pre show projector faulted.

and you're a coaster those things are even more complecated when they break down, we had to winch train 5, chew out row 15 for standing up!

Indy, just be happy that you didn't have to work there those days when coaster was 101 for a few weeks and they had to fly the designer from vekoma out to fix it. That was pure hell, but at least for those days I was able to go back to GMR. Eventhough it was in rehab, it was quite nice to just stand by the big blue wall with a radio running the sete we were running, as if we were in charaters at that time.

And that comment about falling out of skyway and landing on a tree was on snoops. It is funny what that guy tried to do.

OMG! That story is freakin' gold!
