Carousel of No Progress (CM vs Guests)

[5th Dimension]

We've all seen, or experienced it for our selves, the crazy fun and loud times when someone stands up during the show and exits the theater. I can certainly understand the anger of the CM heard in the video, as he can't leave his position, and he can't do anything but continue to tell people to sit down. But on the other hand, besides putting a CM in each theater at all times, maybe they could come up with a more efficient way to deal with it. How about evacuate if the show doesn't rotate after 2 cycles?

Some people on another board are appalled at the CM for basically yelling, but what else is he supposed to do? They only have to wait an extra 10 minutes or so, it's just like any other ride going down, you have to wait, and it's for their own safety, and yet they won't listen.

(side note: when is this whole "FAIL" and "EPIC" fad of describing anything going to end?)

I always thought the doors locked during the show unless an emergency.

I don't fault the CM's tone at all. People need to remain seated until a proper evacuation is started.

I think a mod to the rides programing will happen real soon.
if it's still on the old mainframe it's still written in superoslo.

What kind of mod?

You should also look at the fact that some people won't respond to anything BUT yelling. I've seen it hundreds of times at multiple parks I've worked for in the past. You ask nicely, ask nicely again and after about that third time you just yell at them to Sit Down/Get Down for their own damn safety.

I always wish this country wasn't so sue happy at times. Because if you've been told multiple times by multiple CM's NOT to do something, they should retain the right to point and laugh if you get hurt.

What kind of mod?

door check mod. in normal mode, doors are locked, unless CM presses manual release on console. so when people get up during a show, people cant leave unless CM hits over ride. hence, ride stops, and lights come on, but people cant leave. like standing up on HM, sit down and be quite until ride ends type thing.

Speaking of Cinderella, did you know that the story goes back to the 6th century B.C.? There are literally thousands of variations, not all of which involve glass slippers, but fascinating nevertheless. Nearly every culture has their own version. The Algonquin Indians have Little Burnt Face, the Scots have Rushen Coatie, the Chinese heroine is Yeh-Shen, etc.. Worth Googling.

The bad thing about this... if someone kept yelling at me I'd feel the urge to get up and leave too :(
