Space Mountain Stupidity

[justafigment84]

A couple of days ago while I was working out in Tomorrowland we had to have an alpha unit come out thanks to someone deciding they were more special than anyone else.

These guy (no idea on the age) decided that he no longer wanted to wait in the standby line for Space Mountain. So being as bright as he is, he decided to jump from standy by to FastPass. Well he must have forgot that the metal railing was there becuase he got caught on it and ended up laying on the ground bleeding out from his head. Wish I coulda taken kids by to see this and say "See this is why you don't try to jump the queue." Space ended up going 101 for about an hour so they could clean up all of the blood that this guy spilled.

I must say I am happy I am in merchandise, I do not know how you guys in Operations can deal with these people. The ones I deal with at Buzz Imaging are enough to drive me crazy when they ask me about the ride when it goes 101. Thank god it is closed right now. :)

I remember that. I'm glad I worked buzz complex, however they just had to wait until I finished my program to close down buzz. So sad, I miss the complex though. :(

People do that at any theme park/queue. They get tired of waiting, so they decide to jump line. If they trip and get hurt, they deserve it!

Then they get to the merge point cast member and that cast member stops both lines and escorts them out. (that's if they don't get hurt). Happens at mansion all the time during holiday. I was at gate and a guest asked me how I could trust letting guest who claimed to have family or whatever up the fastpass line. I said simply "If they are lying and get escorted out I'll see them again mommentarily."

At Soarin' (WDW), there was a time when people were constantly jumping over the wall to get into the Fastpass line. Or they would go through a gate.

We usually distributed our fastpasses by noon or one. So, the person at Fastpass Distribution was then used to walk up and down our old singles line and watch for anyone who might try to jump over. If they did, we could escort them back to the beginning of the line.

Sadly, I never saw anyone doing it while I was there.

Had something like that happen at Pirates on a grad night. A line cutter jumped in a line. When I confronted him, he pointed to a group and said, "I'm with them."

So I looked directly at the group and asked them if they knew him. Surprise, surprise, they did not. So I told the guy to get out of line.

"Oh no, I'm with a group down the line."

Okay, moron, you already lied to me once. I'm not falling for this crap. He was quickly gone from that line.

I like Buzz. I hate sitting back in the Editing room watching hundreds of those damn pictures go by. And then of course having to pay attention to what people are doing in those damn pictures and then having to deal with people that are mad we locked those pics. grrr....

Ok, I'm going to be a dork. Who are you? Cause I know I talked to some of the merch cast members and they were awesome, some of the old people were a little anti social, but everyone was awesome. I was the opinionated redhead in attractions, really the only readhead in buzz complex, but I also sported the weezer glasses if that helps.
