Can I help you find our attraction queue? Cause it's not marked "exit".

So I was at dumbo the other day, collecting flight tickets (To ride dumbo, you must have a plastic flight ticket given to you by a CM to make sure we don't load more than 16 elephants at a time). Out of the corner of my eye, I see a party of 2 girls walk up through the exit and into a dumbo. Well, I let them sit for a few seconds and let them think they got away with it :twisted: . I approach them and ask for their flight tickets. Here's how it went down:
CM: Can I have your flight ticket?
SG: We don't have one.
CM: Well, did you go through the enterance?
SG: Yes...
CM: Well then, you should have a flight ticket. You sure you came up through the enterance? You waited in line?
SG: *starting to think they got away with it, starts to grin* Yep.
CM: You sure you didn't just come in through that exit over there?
SG: Yep.
CM: Well then why is it that I saw you come in through there?
SG: I dunno.
CM: I'm sorry, but you did not wait in line, you do not have a flight ticket, and you have lied to me and are preventing someone that has waited in line from riding. You need to leave.
SG: Well then fine. Where's the line?
CM: *points* It's over there.

SG pair leave. Here is where they get ballzy. They come up the wheelchair queue. I see them, and ask if they are with a wheelchair or have a pass. THey show me the back of a fast pass, and I ask to see the front. They cleverly cover the blue Splash Mountain logo at the top, and hand them to me. I point out that, as you already know, this is Dumbo the Flying Elephants and not Splash Mt. They ask where FP is for Dumbo, and I inform them that there is none at this attraction and that they need to either wait in the queue or leave. They cannot just hop on infront of a 40 minute queue. Not how it works, sorry. I point out the queue, to which they reply "Oh, I don't want to wait that long for dumbo."

Which leaves me with this similar story from a friend. Apparently these people hopped the exit at dumbo and sat in an elephant. When asked for a flight ticket and told to leave, they claimed "This wouldn't have happened at Sea World!" What is wrong with people!?

DAMN, those girls define the term "stupid guest"! If you don't want to wait 40 minutes for Dumbo then don't ride it! Queue jumping is wrong and annoys all the good guests who have been waiting in line. It also annoys and creates more work for the CMs.

How did they think they would get away with this? Going in an exit or wheelchair entrance without a chair will not allow you to ride without waiting and can be dangerous (if they came in when the Dumbos were flying).

Those last guests were very stupid too. Do they really think that Sea World doesn't care about queue jumpers? If they didn't care everybody would jump the queue and there would be total anarchy (instead of the barely controlled anarchy of a normal queue).

Ever wish you were allowed one slap upside the head per week?

Nope. Mor like a hundred slaps a week per week at least. I got a long list of political figures, some cheaters, idiots who leave their kid in a stroller while they ride a ride, half the area driver, and do you want me to cover my list?

1,000 is the minimum I need a week.

I think my hand would fall off before I was done with my list, and this is just day 1!

Like no one has ever tried this on you before. At what point can you have people like this removed from the parks? As a guest this sort of thing really does piss me off. I wait in line for some jackass to jump in front of me. Then they try it a second time, I think thats reason enough to send them on their way. I've never been to seaworld anywhere, but I know some of the parks here in California that are in pretty getto areas and this sort of thing might get you a good ass kickin by the local gangsters.

I say let 'em ride, then have Security waiting to help them find the exit when they get done. I think cutting in line for Dumbo is an awesome way to bring an end to your day at the parks early. Plus, you'd be saving other CMs a headache when they don't show up through the rear entrance for everything else. They're probably the type that get on my bus through the rear door, then complain when I hit them in the butt.

Do you put them over your knee first, or is there no time for that?

Of course it wouldn't have happened at Sea World. They don't have a dumbo ride.
