DeliriumDreamer Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 - I was working greeter at Delirium this past Saturday, and I had a guest who was most likely in their 30s or so. She stepped on the height scale and said jokingly, "You sure I'm tall enough?". So I had her do the whole lineup thing (Feet together, stand up straight, head forward), and I might have laughed for a good 4 or 5 minutes. For those who were wondering, yes she was tall enough. something like that happened to me yesterday, too. This guy comes up, and asks how tall the tallest person can be to still ride, and I told him to stand against the pole where the red tape is on the top, and he is at least two feet shorter than that red tape. I told him that he could ride. As soon as I said that, he got up on his toes, and stood against it, and asked,"how about now"? He was still at least a foot and a half shorter than the height limit.

SOB/Gun Steve-O Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 Definately when my sup in parking dropped his radio into the porta-potty out by the toll booths. And it still worked! Quote
DeliriumDreamer Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 With my past job at the Museum Center, at least once a weekend, my boss would accidentally drop her radio in the water at the Waterworks exhibit in the children's museum. So far, she's ruined 8. Quote
PKIhazard Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 Last year my friend and I snuck full pop cans on drop zone and threw them off from the very top. Quote
DeliriumDreamer Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 Last year my friend and I snuck full pop cans on drop zone and threw them off from the very top. You can get kicked out of the park for something like that. And we'd be looking at a lawsuit if someone got hurt. Not smart. Quote
Return_of_Yogi Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Last year my friend and I snuck full pop cans on drop zone and threw them off from the very top. ok stupid, didnt you say you were an employee...........nice one Joey. Quote
coasterrz Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Actually, not only would you be kicked out of the park for throwing objects off of Drop Zone, but according to Ohio Law, you could be arrested and charged with a misdameanor for throwing objects off of any ride. Part of the Ohio Revised Code dealing with rider safe conduct. At Coney last year, we fished a radio out of Lake Como with a net when we were looking for glasses that someone dropped into the lake. We never found the glasses but we did find a radio, which I believe still worked, despite being submerged in four feet of muddy, gasoline filled stinky water. Quote
Tanner Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 No offense but regarding the cans being thrown off Drop Zone comment. That shows how stupid some people really are. No not the person that claims they threw them, but the people that believe him. Quote
Dane Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Oh my thats horrible. A full pop can can easily kill someone from that height. Quote
coasterrz Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 I know that he probably did not throw a pop can off the tower. That is one reason why I believe they used to (I don`t recall them doing this the last time I rode) tell all riders to put their hands up, palms out when the operators check their bars so that they can check to make sure they don`t have any objects to throw off of the ride on the way up or down. Quote
Return_of_Yogi Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Yeah, but even saying it can get a employee in trouble these days............. whatever happened to Dank? Quote
stephenmayes Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Are we even sure it happend?? I think something like that would have been noticed Tiny Quote
Return_of_Yogi Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 No he's probably lying out his @$$, same as when he said he rarely wears a nametag, if a manager cathes him without one it should be a verbal. Quote
DA RIPPER Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 What is a scarlet title? And can you get them at walmart. Quote
DeliriumDreamer Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 You guys have a point. If it actually happened, someone here would have known about it. AND, if a penny falling from Slingshot can break open someone's head, then a full popcan can kill someone instantly(and explode on impact). Quote
0-120 Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Like he puts a there. What kind of fools are there on here? Quote
Columbus coasternut Posted May 5, 2004 Author Posted May 5, 2004 sounds like a real idiot if you ask me Quote
shadow2k3 Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 You guys have a point. If it actually happened, someone here would have known about it. AND, if a penny falling from Slingshot can break open someone's head, then a full popcan can kill someone instantly(and explode on impact). Not so. Watch the episode of Mythbusters on Discovery Channel about that very saying. They threw pennies off the Empire State Building, and it didn't crack any cement. So how could a penny crack someone's head open? Now a popcan... I dunno about that... ~S~ Quote
DeliriumDreamer Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 A certain one of our sups told me that happened last year. Some people's heads are softer than others. Do our heads have the same hardness as concrete? the whole point here is, this guy's an idiot. Quote
DA RIPPER Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Are you sure he's lying. I'm sure waldo seat strapper for drop zone going to go running to his or her supervisor and say it's raining pop cans from drop zone . So the super can say didnt you give them the standard body cavity search for pop cans, Then your fired speach. Those kids strap people in so much they probably do it in their sleep. I think anything like that is possible and some bodys going to try because he or she is a graduate of the waldo billy bob school of idiots. what's to stop somebody from throwing something off the effel tower surely not the new paint job or the 4 inch gap in the bars.

coasterrz Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 What stops people from throwing stuff off of the Eiffel Tower is not the bars, although they do prevent the larger objects from being thrown. What stops people is the reminder in the elevator that dropping objects off of the tower is illegal. Additionally, there is signage on the top that reminds guests not to toss anything from the tower. If that was not enough, there is an operator stationed at the top who is in charge of walking around the platform to make sure that the guests are behaving and following the rules. While there is still a chance for someone to break the law, there, hopefully is enough of a deterrent in place to prevent them from doing so. Quote

Beastfreak Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 All I could read in there was... blah blah blah... I'm a dirty post whore. Quote
DA RIPPER Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 OK Yogi just like Boo Boo talks to you. Not every infraction in the park is reported to a supervisor. And the workers are straping so many people in the seats their going to get tired of looking for throwable objects, and let someting like a popcan slip by. Now say the guy that claim to have thrown the can , does get it by the attendent and drops it from 300ft up. do you think Mr or Miss attendent going to run to her suppervisor saying I didn't check for objects. I understand there's signs saying don't throw object's from the tower. there's signs on the highway saying the speed limit 55 mph but everybody out there's doing 90 mph. the tower has one attendent up there from what I've seen and there's 4 sides to the top, at best they can see 2 sides standing at a corner. the bar slots or anything bigger than mesh is going to let somebody to drop something off the tower. so how would you remendy the situation. sorry yogi I get a little colorful somtimes .

DA RIPPER Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Would that be considered FLAMING beastfreak on your response? Quote
