HOT DAMN!seems like today is stuck in a gigantic mold of gelatin and the and the only was out is very slow, and very filling, but not very satisfying so it's nice to get a break. I am so glad it rained, half the rides are down, their talking about sanding some of us home. yeah, i know that was a weird metaphor, but hey, whatever quacks your duck, right? oh, common laugh. your no fun at all.You know when i started here I thought the kids would be lil' monsters(which they are only rarely) but I couldn't imagine what kind of nightmares their parents are. It's like when grown people walk into an amusement park they turn into peasants. seriously medieval peasants, illiterate, plague fearing, sleeping with the pigs, peasants. they can't read signs they can't fallow directions and they let their children run around like nothing can happen to them, ya know until they marry at the age of 13, er whatever. definate pre-age of reason behavior. I'm afraid that if we let them stay overnight they would form some primitive society for survival b/c theres no one in the park to yell at or quiz for their life of one of the roller coasters. They would learn to make fire with rider saftey guides and their mating call would be, 'WHERE IS THE BATHROOM!!" ah, but i kid. Though there was this guy that argued with me for 15 minutes b/c i wouldn't let his kid on Huff n Puff. She was too tall but he argued for fifteen minutes, do you know how long that is? And of course right next to me was that oh so familiar sign, "riders must be smaller than this line to ride". by the time he was done his kid was crying and shaking her head b/c she didn't want to ride anymore. i had to call security and tell them that i had a gentleman that needed escorting out of my line. Some times it's crazy. and Dude yesterday i got yelled at by some british guy. My ride was closed, so i wasn't running anymore rides i was cleaning up putting things away shutting down. i was clearly no longer open, and he comes up asking me if his kids can ride. I go, im sorry sir, my ride is closed. and he goes, ah, come on can't you just let us in,like he could sway me with his accent. If the british, or the australian ever find out what their accents to do our women, where in trouble. But anyway,I continue to say no until I say I'm sorry sir im not going to be able to let you in but you folks have a nice night. that made him freak out, he goes oh, are you tell be to buzz off now?! i was just-well, i just was but I said, no sir I genuenly hope you have a nice night but the park is closed there is nothing I can do do to accomidate you. so he stormed off after saying "well when you have kids you'll understand..." yeah understand that the way some people handle confrentation in front of their kids makes me sad, and i don't think it's being in an amusement park. He could have made me the bad guy, I'm never going to see his kids again. But dude, i hope he goes home to england or where ever he's from and tells all his friends about thoes damned yankees! it would make me proud.
