"I Didnt Run Half Way Across the Park For This!"

Post by Freak » Tue May 09, 2006 11:38 pm

So, fun experience time again. Time to close our line at 10PM. So, Im selected to run down to the enterance of my ride and close the line with trashcans. I then run back (my line enterance is like a bajillion miles away from our dock, major downside of my ride) to dock and check our second to last train.

Heres where the fun begins.

We dispatch the train, and low and behold...some moron instantly thought that "Huh? Trashcans in front of an enterance? THEY MUST BE OPEN! WEEEEE!"

He then runs up with his friend to our dock, as our closing music plays. Everyone on dock tells him its closed, to instantly he goes "BULLSHIT!," great...hes a stupid and angry guest. We tell him the musics playing, we had our line closed, and told him hes not riding.

"BULLSHIT, YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS. I DIDNT RUN HALF WAY ACROSS THE PARK TO NOT RIDE THIS! IM RIDING AND YOU CANT TELL ME OTHERWISE!"

Whatever, we told him he wasnt riding and if he wanted to talk to our SL, he could. He told us to fuck ourselves. And while we were loading our last train of the night, he hops onto the train, slams his lapbar down, and proceeds to go "Now what, huh?" Ugh. Thanks to your actions, now we have to call security, hold the train because you jumped in, and escort you out of the park. We do, he whines and cries, blah blah blah. Security kicks him off while he cries some more, blah blah blah. Hes finally escorted off the dock and out of the station as everyone claps and we send the train. What a freakin moron. :mad:


RIP Bud Hurlbut.

You will be missed.

Ah the no taking bullshit from ANY guest while working an attraction. The only thing I miss when I was at Knott's. Congrats to you for not backing down. I always love the "but, but..I really want to." How would it be if we went to this guy's job and pulled that nonsense? I'm sure security is on speed dial for those jerks. But unfortunately, he won't ever learn cause tomorrow someone else will let him get his way. Where did that stupid guest gun get to? :shoots as guest then falls down into a deep sleep for 5 minutes:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA (Aren't I so mean?) :twisted:

I just love how he locks himself in the car and now is in your total control. You could have kept him there all night.

flat visions of misty places,
fragments bound below my surface,

they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,
and they are real."

Good for you & good for security for standing your ground! -of course, it's a lot easier to kick someone out of the park when it's almost time to close anyway, but...
Well done!

Always nice to see the idiots who just "need" to ride this ride so of course it is only common sense to wait until the last possible second before the park closes. :cool:

I remember one time I was operating Charlie Brown Speedway, and the park was ready to close, so I announced that this was going to be the last ride of the night. Next thing I know, every friggin' wetback standing along the fence is handing their kids over the fence to ride! I've have people try to get as many people in those cars as possible--like they were clown cars or something! Hey, you with the missing brains, those cars only hold two people ! As I recall, I called my shift leader and they helped me get everything straightened out. I HATED closing that ride--well, actually, I hated that ride, period. but it was amazing how many people couldn't count to two! :banghead:
