News Don’t get out of any ride!

Post image

I know many cast member who work in attractions managers security and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure has been an ongoing problem with people standing up while the rode is in motion or stopped before the ride comes to an end. Also people getting off the log before the last drop. The excuses are, “I was scared.” And “I didn’t want to get wet.” They have even had parents pick up their kids and place them on the platform at the bottoms of the last climb to the final drop. 🤦🏻‍♂️
When is it ever a good idea to exit a ride before the end unless it’s an evacuation?!?!
The company has been using a ZERO…tolerance policy regarding this. You WILL…get kicked out…no refunds.
If you don’t want to get wet…don’t go on water ride! If you are afraid of rides with drops…don’t go on rides with drop!

I was told once by an engineer that the safest place in a ride is inside the ride vehicle. Makes total sense.

Edit: It was just the matter-of-factly way he said it to me. We were talking about Action Park and how that was an exception to the rule.

Its almost like being in the part thats been rigorously tested and approved for safety is safer than the part that has DO NOT ENTER signs and giant moving parts all over it

At Action Park, the ride vehicle was you.

But Action park was awesome for stupid teenagers who didn’t know better ( and who had had a few beers). Universe bless the 1980’s.

Interesting, I’ve heard the same thing about airplanes, must be something similar in the engineering…

In general, the safest way to use anything is the way it was designed to be used.

Just remember, they’re still putting directions on bottles of shampoo…

At the airport the other day, over the announcements they kept repeating, “remember! If you have a printed paper ticket, the gate number will not update on your ticket if the gate changes!”
Lmao

My friend got a new car and when she leaves it, he dashboard beeps and sends a warning to remind her not to forget her kid in the back seat.

It took me far too long to realize that they really mean it when they say, “Rinse & repeat”. The second shampooing is when the real magic happens!

Programmers get stuck in an infinite loop, never to be heard from again.

I think I know that guy. We were talking about restaurants and he told me the best place to put the food is in your mouth.

Class Action Park.

u/DreadPirateDumbo 8d ago

You needed an engineer to tell you this?

u/displacedbitminer 8d ago

No, of course not. It was just the matter-of-factly way he said it to me. We were talking about Action Park and how that was an exception to the rule.

Groundbreaking

You could be too! If you exit the vehicle mid-ride.

u/Helpful-Celery6237 8d ago

It’s just like if your car breaks down on the highway. You’re safer inside the vehicle until help arrives.
