Now to continue with the closure of BTRR, today a group of 12 spanish kids came to the front of the attraction. About 4 of the kids lifted up the sign and tempted to walk away with it.

Stupid!!!!! I have seen stop signs missing out in the neighbor hoods, but to tempt to take an attraction close sign is unreal. The sign is not your graduation gift. Please take sign back to the location and leave it there. :twisted:
They must have been Disney Memorabilia Collectors from Board X....
Or just criminals :rolleyes:

Soon we will see on board X "My kids found this old sign abandoned over by big Thunder. Since the park just left it in the middle of the path, they obviously didn't want it. So rather than let it go to the dumpster, the kids decided to take it home and put it in the backyard.

Well, as soon as they tried to carry the sign to the car, one of those horrible cast members had the nerve to tell them to put it back ! So now Disney wont even let you carry trash you find home as a souvenier!

To make matters worse, little Snowflake got a splinter from the sign, and Sammy pinched his hand in the hinge!

That evil cast member (and her friends, the other cast members) had no sympathy for my poor boys. They should have at least given us a free annual pass for each of the boys. after all, they ruined our trip by not letting the boys keep the abandoned sign!"
:eek:

Once when I was working in Nazi Fairy Farm aka Knott's Berry Farm, I was doing Huff'N'Puff, which is right below Montezooma's Revenge. MR was down for refurb, and though there was a chain and a couple of trash cans across the entrance to the queue, some kids thought, oh, great, we're first in line! So they go running up the ramp to the queue, only to be told firmly by the maintenece crew that MR wasn't operating due to refurb, and wouldn't reopen until another month or two. Stupid kids can't read signs, or figure out why there's a chain and a couple of garbage cans across the entrance, plus signs saying Ride Closed..... :shaker:

It seems to me that when they were handing out the brains, some folks must've thought they said drains, and said no thanks, I don't need one. :twisted:

Well, if you're familiar with the way Camp Poopy /Camp Snoopy is laid out, the wall dividing HNP from MR is the ramp to the queue for MR.

Yes, but even when good, "A map is not the territory."

Maybe they thought is was like getting concert tickets, you know, just plan to camp there until it opens so they are first in line.
