Rude Guest Alert!

Howdy Folks. I was just wondering if any of you past or current employees have any rude or stupid guest stories. I have a stupid guest story. I was working on the Go-Karts (Challenge Park) in '02 when a male guest came on to the ride with hair down to his butt. Instead of tucking his hair in between the seat and his head, he flipped it over the seat and let it rest on the engine. Well after halfway through the 4 minute ride, I notice his go-kart stopped on the track and his head tilted backwards. This genius had managed to get his hair caught in the engine. We had to call EMS to come extract his hair from the engine. He walked in with hair down to butt. He walked out with shoulder length hair. Talk about severe whip-lash.

While that's funny, I certainly wouldn't call that guy a "rude" guest.

He might be a little sore, though. :)

he said rude OR stupid. :)

And that was definitely stupid. :) Anyone got any stories about people worthy of the Darwin Awards?

I worked at Wicked Twister most of this summer 06' and I have had a bunch of people unbuckle their seatbelts right as the train is going to take off and have had to stop the train from leaving the station.

How stupid can you be^

You want crazy guests, go to Halloween Horror Nights at IOA... Amazing event, yet, the most unique and wasted people ever!

Wasted? count me in. :)

I think this question blows all stupid questions out of the water, "Excuse me sir, what time is the 10 o clock light show?".

And my response to that, after laughing hysterically for 5 minutes, would be "Listen to what you just said. Say it to yourself again." Of course, as an employee I'm sure you couldn't do that...but after that guest walks away, I garuntee that I would be rolling on the ground laughing.

Belive me, that guest was brutally bashed at that night's Steak n Shake dinner.

For fun, I decided to ask a 25-cent cotton candy vendor "How much is the 25-cent cotton candy?" Poor girl rolled her eyes because she's been asked that question a million times through out the day.

Thats really funny...Sounds just like when I am working Wicked Twister entrance and I get asked how long is the Top Thrill Dragster wait or when will it be open?

Umm....Do I look like I work at Top Thrill Dragster?

It can be quite hard not to say whats on your mind when a guest asks you of the many stupid questions, but as employees we are there for the guests and we can't be rude, although we may want to be some days. lol

Sometimes when my friend and I are bored we call places like Burger King and ask them stupid questions like how much a Big Mac costs and if we can schedule an appointment to come in and order our food. It's hard to hold in your laughter when asking.

Being a Cedar Point employee were trained to hold in our laughter until we get into the employee cafe lol. Or in some cases in the rides control room, with the microphone turned off I might add.

Millenium Force......I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who gets a kick out of doing that...Funny thing is I just got a job at McDonald's last week....and they were the one's I was pranking....LOL.....guess I gotta cross them off my prank list..LOL

I used to work at the Stockade back in 1998 and oh the questions. "Is that the Atlantic OCean?" Didn't you know that Ohio bordered the ocean now. "Are the carp in the pond mechanical?" "Where is the Steel Phantom?" Was still steel phantom back then. I think the best thing I heard though was a man that was upset because he had to wait 5 min to get food at 12:30 in the afternoon on a July Sat. His comment was "I did not come to Cedar Point to wait in line all day" Well what did you come to do if you come n the peak day in a peak month. I told him to go and wait in line to leave then. LOL.

I was asked while going up the magnum lift which ocean it that out there?

I told her for kicks that it was the Siberian Ocean.

She responded, Really, I didn't even know that existed

It doesn't!

Had to chuckle

Surely geography class wasn't that boring. ;)

It was hard to hold in some of the questions, every one knows the 1/4 hour joke, And it does happen on a daily basis. Or ask where the Magnum Force.. Just laugh in side. As for rude guests would have to be this year... I was walking into work, walking by maxair and this little kid, maybe 11,12 was playing and turning the "Aprox Wait time" wheel, well I stopped and asked him to stop, rolled it back to 1/2 hour, and dropped the peg in, (Was missing washer)..... as I walk away, I hear him call me an *ss Hole and I turn back around, just at that time, there was a Police officer walking by, and saw me turn around in some form of anger... he knew what was going on... he stopped me before all .... went loose... and last I saw before I headed up to the office, was him pulling him out of line, none the less, his mom was next to him, and when I turned back around and did the dumb thing and ask "what did you say" she was scared for some reason, and replied "He said nothing sir" and got real respectful.... Thats about how rude I have gotten, There is worse(that ive herd), but Ill try to tame them down for a later time.
