I always tend to screw around with the younger guests:

When Space Mountain fastpasses have been given out for the day on a Saturday:

Guest: Where are the Space Mountain fast passes??
Me: They have been given out for the rest of the week.
Guest: Huh?
Me: Today is Saturday, tomorrow is Sunday. Fast passes will be back tomorrow.

Best thing ever. I was at my ride as usual, and a kid comes up.

Teen Kid: "Hey can you make the launch faster?"
...now usually Id be nice and say no...but I felt like going what the hey, lets go for it. Oh and by teen, I mean like 16.

Me: "Yes."

Teen Kid: "How fast?"

Me: "150 mph."

Teen Kid: "Whoa!"

Anyways, one of the teens tried to tell himself that I was lying, but I got him to believe it. So when we load the trains, I pointed to my buttons that could only be used in manual mode and went.

"Im gonna press these buttons at launch and make you go 150mph!."

Two of the teens were like "HELL YAH!" As the other one (who asked the dumb question in the first place) decided not to ride. Even the other guests around me knew better than to believe what I told him. When he got off and the train launched, we all busted up laughing.


RIP Bud Hurlbut.

You will be missed.

The scene: Big Thunder Moutain. It is starting to rain. Guest is seated in a train car.

Excuse me.

Yes?

What happens if it starts raining?

I imagine you'll get wet.

No, I mean if it really starts raining while we're out there?

I imagine you'll get really wet.

I eyed a woman smoking near my pretzels cart in fantasyland once. Before I could even say anything as I walked up, she said "So what? You gonna be the Disney Gestapo and tell me to put out my cigarrette?"

What a butthead :mad: I was so mad I didn't know what to say so I just turned around and went back to work. I shoulda spritzed her cigarrette out with the the mister bottle :twisted:

What I would have replied would have been: "M'am, you can put it out now because I'm asking you too, or you can put it out later when security escorts you from the park for not obeying park rules."

Or something like that.

I'm checking lapbars at Thunder Mountain...

Excuse me! Excuse me!


(I turn and look. Guest is sitting in one of the rows I've just checked.)
Yes?

Does this ride have any loops or big drops?

(Looking at watch) You'll find out in about 30 seconds.

Seriously, folks... if you have a question about the content of an attraction, why wait until seconds before dispatch to ask?!?

Yeah, we get that a lot at Coaster after they are in the harness and the limo is moving.

Does this go upside down?
Maybe!

Is this a roller coaster?
Nah, it's a line ride, we just call it Rock n ROLLER COASTER to throw you guys off.
