I was working the unload platform at Jaws yesterday and a guest came up the the gate to chat with me while waiting for his family to get off the ride.
SG: (pointing at the water) Are there gators in there?
Me: (theming) Seeing a gator in Massachusetts would be almost as unusual as spotting a great White!
SG: yeah, but this is Florida. Aren't there gators like everywhere? (I'm paraphrasing here)
He was a very nice man and we had a nice conversation about Florida wildlife and where to see it and and how to behave (He stuck me as the type who might try to feed a gator); but the idea of a gator in the water at the Jaws ride had me giggling for quite a while on my break. Death Match, anyone?
It's not a zoo.

Aaaaaanywhoo, good job with the great white comment, theming is always great. Unfortunately, I now have the image of Jaws and an alligator fighting to the death on Martha's Vineyard.

Re: It's not a zoo.
I may be able to beat that....
So i was once a Safari Driver.. in past life of course..... One day I had a bunch of redneck hunters on my truck... and yes I do have the right to call them rednecks... seeing that i am one... kind of.....
Any way... We had an animal stop near the White Rhino area and the people in question started to do animal calls to intice the Rhinos and the Ostriche to come to the trucks. After a few tries the critters started to wonder to us to figgure out what the hell this SG was doing...
i look at him via the mirror and say in my best Safari Guide voice....
"Sir, This is a photo safari and we do not call for the animals to come to us as i have film not ammo. Please do restrain yourself...."
Of course I do have the memory of Dorry and it could have gone over more like this....
"Sir... please do not piss the animals off... The Rhinos eat rednecks for lunch..."
I wounder which one i used... Hakuna Matata

Re: It's not a zoo.
I once saw a documentary on T.V., where they were betting on whether or not a lion could beat a crocodile. So since they were CGI teams, they each built a model of a lion and a croc. Then they put information about the physical characteristics of each, and set up a virtual battle between the lion and the croc. Through the whole thing the lion team kept saying the lion was gonna kick the croc's butt, while the croc team said the croc would win. They were right; the croc won with manuverability, stealth, and power, catching the lion and deathrolling until the virtual lion was killed by the virtual croc. Interesting to watch the process.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

That's what YouTube tells me when I go to that video.
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
