I've been told when doing PAC that the reason we can't allow video lighting is because of the lights used to guide the float drivers. I don't think shining a flashlight would go over very well (at least based on what I've been told). Anyone confirm or deny this so I can start blinding SGs?

I am getting the most wonderful mental picture of CMs shining flashlights in the eyes of SGs, and the floats following the light beam and crashing in them, effectively removing them from the gene pool and doing the world a favor. :twisted:

If CMs are allowed to use flashing lights then how about a flashing light to the eyes of an SG? Do they make strobe lights that small?

It'll be like pouring salt on a slug or feeding chocolate to a dog, you'll kill IT (The SGs). If you shined a light at an SGs eyes and looked carefully, you won't find a brain through those eyes of theirs :D: .

The best family I've ever served was Alex, the birthday boy, and his parents two days before Christmas 2006. I've only had several instances of "great" families that I served. I'm always thinking of Alex and his family. He's the light that opened my eyes and made me see that the magic is still there.

Whenever I have parades or pyro I end up babysitting at least 2 & finding one lost child. Never fails! :mad: Polar, your bright flashlight idea is terrific!! Gonna try this when crossing for lunch at The Inn Between. Thanks! :hi5:

Hey if you can't use the flashlights to shine in SG's eyes, what about using those expandable wanna-be lighsaber swords to trip them? :D: (I'm talking about those multicolor ones that outdoor vending sells.)
It's too bad you guys can't use Maglites. When I worked Halloween Haunt at Knott's, I always carried a heavy Maglite. Not only was it great to light the way through the dark, I could also use it in case some SG tried to attack me. (Thankfully the latter never came up.)

I work at Star Tours and I carry a light saber with me. Too bad I can't use that to whack SGs for their atrocities and stupidities. Face it, it's a part of a CMs job to deal with this crap at work. It's unavoidable. You can't control what the guests say and do, heck, they can't control themselves anyway. I'll admit I've probably used my light saber several times to duel with kids who have light sabers or pretend to decap them (they all find it funny).

I was in line for Space Mountain and some kid (about 7 years old) cuts in front of me right in front of his dad. His dad doesn't do anything about it even though he definetly saw the whole thing. I told the kid that I was in line in front of him so he just went behind me.
