Stupid Guest Tricks

I had a dog named Chewy once.

You can see that gold record hanging on the wall by the front desk of a Holiday Inn Hotel in said city. The hotel's main building is the old Chattanooga railroad station, and some of their rooms are in converted railroad cars.

Conversely, "Chattanooga Chew Chew" is a dog park in the same city, and "Chattanooga Chew" is a brand of chewing tobacco. Neither is as nice a place to stay or as nice a thing to listen to at all!

Here is all the info about both:

I worked a complex with three rides and would often get confused as to where I was. I would say "Welcome to Rollercoaster" when I was really at the spinning ride, or tell people on the flipping ride to buckle their seatbelts when there were none. My crew would laugh at me all the time for it.

I used to do that on the WDW Railroad just to see who was listening. Once in a blue moon I'd get someone who jumped off and waved frantically because he couldn't find a seatbelt.

"Exits are .... the same places as the entrances!"

During my time at Monorails, I actually talked one of the engineering guys into getting me a yellow strap so I could get on the Monorail and do the seat belt joke. I wish I had done that in buses.

I had a very small group on the Backlot Tour once, and they were all sitting in the front car so I could joke around with them. Went through a whole pre-flight safety briefing ... sort of. "To fasten your seatbelt, insert the flat metal end into the buckle, and tighten by pulling on the strap. To release, lift up on the plate. The cabin is pressurized for the altitude of our flight. If there is a loss of pressure, it probably means it's the end of the world, so I wouldn't worry about it too much anyways"

When I drove the Monorail, before the wreck, I had a spiel that I used to use for holding situations. Obviously, I never used it again after that day.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard Monorail Green. We're currently holding for a train up ahead in the Magic Kingdom Station. We do like to keep our distance. It's never been seen what happens when two Monorail trains try to occupy the same space, and I would rather not find out tonight. You're welcome."

Had I worked at Thunder before Monorails, I would have used the Thunder 101 spiel.
