No Leaning on the Rails, For Goodness's Sake

I dunno, transition and translation are both pretty scary. Titanium and other transition metals do scare the crap out of me, but you don't know real terror until you have your first dream in a foreign language! ;)

Hmm, in language school, they always SAID you had to think in the language to fully comprehend it!! Dream it in...NEW angle on me!!

Not very restful when you spend the entire night saying "Huh?" and "What?".

"Timmy" and "Tammy" start sitting on the chains/ropes before they even enter the park. They start at the ticket booths. Parents are standing right next to them, completely oblivious until you politely tell the children, "Sweetie, don't sit on the chains." And hey, half of the time it's adults and mostly teenagers. If it's somone really going to hurt themselves we stand up on our stools, loudly, yet politely through our Mickey shaped window cutout, ask them to please get off the chains. They little ones look genuinely guilty and try to hide their faces from you.
Once I saw one young boy (about 12, old enough to know) jumping the chains and tripping. When the mother caught up with him, he was still rubbing his arm, she slapped him on the back of the head and I could lip read, "See what happens?!" I had our breaker go out and ask him if he was o.k. He was more embarrassed than hurt. Bozo!!

A lot of DL areas are getting easy-breakaway magnetic clipped chains in emergency exit spots, including one of my locations recently. I haven't gotten to witness it yet, but some pretty hilarious stories have already come up... or fallen straight down so to speak. :D:

I have seen those at some airports, a smart move, a little kid could't "closeline" himself and leave the business open for suits!

Instead of easy breakaway magnets, strong electromagnets should be used. That way the rope or chain would hold Timmy/Tammy until a CM hit a button that shut off the magnet dropping said offender on his/her butt. :twisted:

See!! Even better, you need to start marketing this kind of stuff under the "SGT" brand!!
