Grad Nights, You Can Get Away With........
Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2003 11:12 pm
One of the first grad nights that I worked after I had Hired in, I was in the tower position at Pirates when I caught tis kid stand up at the first drop. I got on the PA and told him to sit down. He did, then as they came around to the next drop, he decides to switch rows right before the boat went over the drop. I stopped it and yelled at him again.
So need less to say, I yelled at him through out the entire ride. I yelled at him for jumping out of the boat, staning up, sticking his hands out, etc. So, finally he returns to the station, where I happend to be waiting for him. I pulled him aside and said, "why am I talking to you?" He shrugged and said "I don't know." Thats when I let him have it. I told him this: "You are a young adult. If you have enough brains to graduate high school, then you have enough brains to act like an adult. I should not have to tell you to sit down or to keep your hands inside. Like that stunt you pulled jumping out of the boat you could've fallen in and we would be dragging your body out of the water." The he inturupts me and says "how did you see me?" Well duh :roll: . I told him " We have cameras." And his resopnse was "you have cameras on this ride?" And I said "ya think? We have 23 cameras on this ride (we really only have 13. just said that to scare him
) and I watched you the entire time. Do you think I was yelling into the ride to amuse myself? We recorded your image and sent it to security so if you screw up again, your grad night is over."
After that, I kicked him off the ride permantly for the rest of the night, and with that, I have never seen a kid run so fast out of a ride in my life. The best part was I knew I scared him cause when I mentioned sending his image to security, the color drained from his face and he went white. So, at least I made impression on someone that night!!!

, and having to put up with some stupid decision to use fastpass. Also since the guests in grad night had to dress up a little bit a lot of loose change fell out of their pockets, breakfast money 8) , this was a long time ago when this happened. I also like that CDS crashes at midnight so it's useless. I absolutly loved working grad nights, but I hated to work Night of Joy. The last Night of Joy I worked we had over 20 arrests. And these guests are supposed to be Christans. :throw:
