Stupid Guest Tricks

Or not.

Tonight, I listened at the TTC while a lady explained to everyone around her how the Monorail works. I discovered that I've been wrong this whole time in my understanding of how they operate.

Those two little metal bars that run along the concrete? Well, those are the tracks, they're what the train sits on. Inside the big concrete support structure is the way they get electricity into the train so it can run. Fully automatic driverless system, of course.

Had she asked at that point, the front cab would have automatically been full so the driver wouldn't have to put up with her.

Not a chance I was going to give her my flawed information, either.

I just had to walk around the console. I made it just before I started laughing.

Just wanted Jeff Dunham and Walter there to tell her what she was being.

I'm going to show my complete and utter SG side here...but I always thought that WAS how they run . TO THE WIKIPEDIA!

Though I'm certainly not a Monorail expert (though I do like riding it around and around and around, lol), so I wouldn't go off preaching it as fact to the assembled masses.

I love the know it all guests. Though I am guilty of having pretty much every tour guide I've hade at Disneyland say I should take their job, at least I answer the questions (and just plain wrong info) with correct facts, not pretend ones.

Who here has heard about the guy who insisted that the Swiss Family Treehouse at Disneyland was once an island, like Catalina, that natives would visit, and everytimee they went, the threw dirt, twigs, logs, whatever behind them, which eventually became the land brige upon which Disneyland was built? I think he was an AP taking out of town friends around the park. Gotta love the looneys! :D:

Where in the world would he come up with that? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever...

...I would think that even the stupidest of SGs would question that explanation.

Well, maybe that SG thought that the River Safari was a natural river?

(and the animals are REAL!!!!)

It made it into David Koenig's Mouse Tales if you want to read the original account. It makes as much sense as talking mice...

It's amazing how many Disney geniouses come to Disneyland! One woman was in the Haunted Mansion telling he children the following after we left the Stretching Room with total seriousness-

"Now, there are two rooms, the stretching room and the squeezing room. We were in the stretching room, so the other must be the squeezing room,"

I wonder where she heard that! :dropmouth

I don't suppose you overheard what the point of the squeezing room was? I would assume she thought they just "unstretched" you at the end of the ride.

Sorta like going back to full size after being shrunk down to meet the pixies?

Like Mike Teevee in Willy Wonka?

I personally envisioned the squeezing room as reminicent of the garbage disposal in Star Wars, but with SG's instead of Luke Skywalker. That would be fun! Muahahahaha! :twisted:
