And crowd our walkways prematurely? Come one GMC its been bad in front of the Mansion WITHOUT Fantasmic! (Yes I miss the show...) Steve one of the Mansion Leads/Mansion GC Leads doesn't want it to come back cause he doesn't want to argue with the C section lead every night about how to split the traffic!

Just out of couriousity Zazu you've seen Fantasmic! in Disneyland right? Columbia is just well...needed. We can do it without Twain (saw it done while Twain was getting painted). I've seen the show get delayed cause they couldn't get Columbia to back out, I've seen the Croc chasing Columbia gone case they needed to Push columbia (that's a riot to watch).

Wait wasn't this a snappy answers thread?

There's your answer abc, and here's your sign (jk)

There has been a situation on Fantasmic! that the Dragon won't come up and won't come down. When the Dragon didn't come up, they just went on with the show and Mickey was fighting an invisible dragon. When the Dragon won't come down, they just cover it with mist screens and try to lower the dragon from there. Guest usually ignore it and don't know what is suppose to happen, but we Fantasmic! GC do!!!

You know what is funny??? King Louie's raft died and the Columbia is stuck behind it!! And in the finale, since there is no Mark Twain, there were only four characters on the Island in the Finale!! That was hilarious!! :lol: :D

haha thats a good one polar, but that theory is flawed..the sign would have to say "restrooms". if it says dont on it, then everyone will notice it.

Absolutely! Those wonderful memories are why I'm not all that excited about seeing it's weak sister here in Florida. ... very often.
Columbia is just well... needed. We can do it without Twain (saw it done while Twain was getting painted). I've seen the show get delayed cause they couldn't get Columbia to back out, I've seen the Croc chasing Columbia gone case they needed to Push columbia (that's a riot to watch).
I agree that Columbia is a big part of what makes the DL version superior. But I had assumed there was a no-Columbia option where Peter Pan and Hook fight on the island (like John Smith in the WDW version).

I know there are lots of programmed options, and assumed that would be one of them. Heaven knows, there's even a "half cast" version of the show here that's done with only -- let's not see the same hands every time please -- that's right, only half the performing cast! (And yes, "half cast" is almost how you would pronounce a description of that version.)

Gee, I thought some of the answers here were pretty snappy!

Yours certainly is "snappy" Zasu. :lol: "half cast" is a qualifier. 8)

My favorite is when a guest would come up to me while I am working at a very obvious ride and like winnie the poo and ask me where winnie the poo is. When this happens I tell them to wait where they are and i walk out in front of the attraction and I look at the sign, then I look at them, look back at the sign, look back at them and say nope, this is peter pan. When working in tomorrowland in WDW I would get asked where space mountain is, and I tell them it is the big white mountain that looks like it is from space right behind ya.

I know one time at Coaster I was at either Standby or Return. Anyway. I had a guy and his child come up and I wouldn't allow her (the child) go in because she was like an inch too short.

(People around are like Let her in, she's tall enough) First response: I'll make the call thank you.

When I told him no, he started cursing and cussing me out (Short temper much?). Second Response: Way to be a great role model for your kid.

He tried to bargan his way in. Third response: Look, it's for your kids safety. But in some way, you and your kid make it on here by some meracle and when your kid falls out of limo because she was too small, don't cry to anyone about it.

The first and second responses are as they were said, however the third isn't exactly word for word as I can't remember it exactly, however, I do remember saying that she would fall out of the harness (Ive found it stops parents from any argument they might try with me outside)

Another one this morning (Take it as being rude if you want but she deserved it and damn it anyway, it was too early in the morning, 8:05)

Why can't I get two fastpasses for here and Tower?
Because it's only one fastpass per attraction per hour.
Well that stupid, that's not how Universal does it.
Last I checked this wasn't universal so we do things different.
