| | | Do you enforce the rules? I wanted to know if any one enforce the rules? I dont mean getting on the mic and telling them to get off the hand rails every one does that lol. I mean like no smoking line jumping. Here is my testimony lol I had to go the the bathroom, I seen this guy smoking I said"Sir" you cannot smoke here you have to go to a reserved smoking spot. He didnt seem mad or anything but the people that was watching me look happy. And we did recieve guest complaining that park employees do not enforce the new smoking policy. Like I said I'm very strict on line jumpers OMG! dont let me get started lol. Um I constantly tell people no sititing on hand rails, etc.. What about you guys.........

| | | I enforced the rules. Like when I would be at the adult carousel and I tell the parents who are allowed to stand next to their kids horse to stand on the inside of it. I would get a few eye rolls and then they would move. I try to say stuff firmly but politely. I make line jumpers go to the end of the line. If kids open the gate and run in after I have stopped the ride I make them go all the way around and come in again. I said keep your feet down and sit down please onehundred million times at least.

| | | i did last year when i was in kiddie land. You can't smoke in kiddieland so i was so use to smelling fresh air. So when someone would start smoking, i'd smell it in a second and i would tell them there is no smoking. Sometimes people would get mad but oh well thats the rulez.

| | | I was pretty anal about line jumpers, especially when they did it in front of me, as well as not sitting on the rails (which a lot of people do in a queue and we don't allow it for safety reasons). People sitting on the rails I just tell to get off, and line jumpers I pull them from the line and give them a choice of either getting in the back of it, or having security come and settle it, which I noted they are not as "lenient" as I am. |

| | | Height check. You have to be strict with that. It is the worst though telling someone they can't ride. |

| | | I was with that too, but that was also a given... I never had a problem with people trying to beat the height requirements though. |

I strictly enforce the rules on the job. No smoking in children's areas, no smoking in line if I'm near the line, always wear shirts and so on. Sometimes people don't want to follow the rules even after I told them to, so that's when I call security. Fun.

One day on the Bumper Cars which has a 48" height minimum I got booed by the entire line when I wouldn't let a kid on that was just barely too short.
I also have had a lady try and sneak her child onto the Musik Express after I told her the child was too small. Needless to say she wasn't very good at hiding her child and I caught her before she even got near the seats.
Then I have had the other normal arguements where parents try and persway me to let their child on, the famous "I'll make sure he/she is ok" or "He/She is almost there". It is really hard to turn away a child but the parents make it 10 times worse when they try and pedal there way around the rule.

| | | People who try to sneak their kids on are the worst. They always say stuff like, "my kid rode earlier" and you know they didn't because it is like 10:15 in the morning and you have been doing height check since opening. The other thing they say is "your height stick must be bigger than the others." It gets so annoying. |

"HE TALL ENOUGH" HE MADE IT" YEA HE'S OK" YEA" In my mind I'm like omg shut up it really does annoy me but that doesnt change my decision on letting he or she on. |

| | | I like to get the guests involved...like when someone, for one reason or another, refuses to get off the train. While other ops try to get them to get out, I quietly get the queue to start chanting "Get up off the ride! Get up off the ride!" | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
