CoasterBeagle

I had a guest come up and ask if we had a swing ride that goes around. I said flying eagles is right down the way. Then they said no it's tall like drop tower and goes in circles. I was like sky screamer is at sfdk. They said damn we are the wrong park. After I was done checking seats I told them that I'm not telling you to not go to six flags but if you have an intense fear of heights with just a metal bar holding you in then I recommend not going on it. They looked pretty scared after that.

^I saw this and my first reaction was "*sigh*"

Intimidator at Carowinds It was my first coaster after 16 years of not going on coasters. Vortex at CGA made me not want to go on coasters cause of how it made me feel. My bf convinced me to get on it though I would have much rather have gone in the middle of the train he knew the crew. So he asked can we get in the front row and I'm shaking my head like please no and they guy said ok. The entire way up the lift hill I'm saying "-bf's name- I hate you" and then we go over the drop I'm screaming and I get to the end and I'm like "lets go again" Any coaster I go on I get nervous and anxious just because I have anxiety in general. Once I do it then I love it.

I was working flight deck ert

oh yea that's right.

I heard one was also supposed to go to Kings Island.

Today at cga I heard a girl say this Girl: Invertigo is gone because they have to many rides that have dangly legs Mom: Really? Girl: Yea That's all I heard cause they were walking by me.

They do that every year. It's the flashlight tours. They can't do things to it like haunt because it's a historical landmark. It would be disrespectful to mess with the house. That house is creepy in itself.

That made me burst out laughing.

^ it's not stadium vs CF it is the politics of the San Francisco 49ers moving to santa clara. SF doesn't want to give them up.

Did you end up going to GA Idol last night? No I didn't I fell asleep on my couch.

If anyone was at flight deck between 2:30 and 3:15, I was reminding people to go all the way around not to cut through the grass. I try to help best I can.

hmm line wait time also depends on how many 12 year olds decide to run up the grass from the exit and rush into the already existing line.. I may go into the park as a guest today after I get off work from my regular job at 2:30.. I try to catch as many as possible so that people don't feel cheated.

For sure

I saw ya gumball

It happens and the only way we as ride ops know is if other rides call us. So if you get hit go to the nearest ride and tell them to call eagles flight or delta flyer. The people loading them in tell them the rules and if you don't follow the rules you will get kicked out. That's what the please note sign in the cabin means.

Why not be surprised? So you are like "oh my god that's so awesome". Instead of knowing.

Just to let people know, the Death on the wall, the book about the people tripping on acid on top of half dome. A lot of the information in that is wrong. One of my instructors at my school was a park ranger at yosemite when that happened and he read that book. When I started talking about he said that the information was wrong. So I believe him considering he was there.

I knew the natural selection and all that stuff would come up in this thread but lets try not to delve to much into that area.

From the Park service : http://www.nps.gov/yose/parknews/vfallsar11b.htm From BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-14227816 Extremely tragic, what amazes me is the fact other visitors were telling them that they weren't doing the brightest thing. I've been to the top of vernal falls (access point The Mist Trail) 3 times. I have seen people do stupid things but nothing that has ever compelled me to actually tell people to stop doing what they are doing. I just feel so bad for the families.

Yes due to fireworks, otherwise its just normal hours.

Just remember the flight deck closes early every saturday in july and august.
