Knott's II

Just as I'm going into work today we have someone come down the exit of the ride. He's wearing fairly normal looking clothes and goes up to another employee and says "Where do I go?" So the whole question of do you have a hadicapped pass, no, ok is this a baby swap, no, ok. So finally we get the lead to come over. This guy says to the lead that he's reporting to work. We have no trainees at the ride today! Nothing scheduled, nothing. Then my lead notices the alcohol on this guy's breath. Now I'm not sure but the guy looked to be about 16 maybe 17 and he's coming to work at a ride? I don't think so. Even if he is coming to get trained he's comiong with alcohol on his breath? So my lead kindly asks him to wait there, calls security and has him escorted away. I don't think it's guests getting stupider. Common sense is just less common.

The employee who it happened to told me to add a few things so here goes. The the guest did not come through the exit. He came through the line. He waited a half hour to come to work. He also told security the the bakery hired him. So why he came to the actual Log Ride I don't know. He also kept trying to help the logs along, by guiding them through them through the flume with his hands.

God what idiots we get coming to our parks.

:shock:

Underage, drunk...Wow...just...wow.

I still wonder how many years its going to take for guests at Knott's to look to the right and see the big bold lettered EXIT sign before they walk up the exit....

I've often wondered that myself.

A ticket taker told me last night that they always get guests that read the sign that says "All bags will be checked prior to entry" with some dumbfounded look and then walk right past the bag check tables.

That, but they'll usually say "Oh. . I didn't see any signs. . . " and get all pissed off if security pursues to check their bag.

Usually, the ones who get bent out of shape, are the ones that have a CRAP load of stuff. ie, bags galore, diaper bags, etc. They are the ones who say "are you serious, you need to check ALL my bags?"

Yes, honey. . the signs says "ALL BAGS will be checked, PRIOR to entry."

I heard a ticket taker/security checker talking on the cast shuttle yesterday telling a story of how she checked a bag and they had a can of beer in there. She told them they could not bring it into the park to which they suddenly replied "I don't speak english" after speaking english a few seconds ago.

You want to talk about signs and guests? Try working Bigfoot Rapids... The queue has no fewer than seven signs between the entrance and the turntable that warn you that you will get wet on the ride. The main sign at the entrance of the queue always tells you whether the waterfalls are on (always put at off if Waterfall 1 is on photoeye,) and the queue runs right within view of the ride channel and the rafts within it. Yet you still get people who ask if you will get wet... Or try to tear you a new one if they do! Funny thing is that, when I worked essentially the same ride system on Roman Rapids (Busch Gardens Williamsburg, in Virginia,) I never got this sort of thing.

Even when their not drunk they cannot read very well even when theres a sign that plainly says EXIT with a hand pointing in the direction that they should go. In my mind im asking them "I guess hooked on phonics failed this time didn't it?

If all the guest that entered our parks were half as smart as a rock I think we would all be extremely happy. I have seen so many stupid things done and heard so many stupid things said by guest it makes me wonder if their deffinition of a theme park isn't something short of what they percieve to be a kindergarten class only bigger.
