Lazer Light Show

Post by SamuraiKoala32 » Tue Jun 21, 2005 3:52 pm

The other day, I was working at Greetings in DCA and I had this guest come up to me who was really stressed out because she had to purchase all sorts of stuff then run to the fireworks show at the other park which was about to start in a few minutes. After ringing up her items, I tried to cheer her up by saying, "You may not make it in time for the fireworks, but the Greetings From California lazer light show is just about to start!"

So I picked up 2 scan guns and projected them on the wall behind me while shaking them to make patterns while I made some bizzare noises that sound like a crow and techno music combined.

She wasn't that amused... but I sure was!


There is a fine line between friendly, entertaining guest service and being a total asshole. I am that fine line.

Oh darn! Why didn't you do this show for me when you told me abt your light show? Next time we are @ Greetings you HAVE to do your show for all of us! I can now imagine you doing this for a guest. :D: Must have a cool manager though ]

I remember last October when Fantasmic was down for a couple of months during Columbia's refurb. For some reason, it was an unseasonally busy night and at about 7:30 people started lining up along the Rivers of America. Got to the point where they probably needed GC ropes over there.

There was a fireworks show that night, but there's no way all those people were lined up for fireworks, so I have to figure that a few people thought that Fantasmic was showing, then everybody else just joined them without even asking what it was for.

When I was in the front of Pirates parking strollers, guests would come up to me and ask, "what time does Fantasmic start?"

I'd reply, "December."

After a pause and a rather funny look from the guest, they'd ask me what all the people were lined up for, then. "Frankly," I'd respond, "I haven't the slightest idea."

Better not perform your fantastic light show - with sounds :) - until I'm @ Greetings again. Do NOT want to miss your show!! Won't be @ Greetings until maybe Sun. Yah, Anna is very cool. She would enjoy the light show. J, K & M are the managers who will be most receptive to your one man Fantasmic! ]
