Strangest Items You have Found In The Park?

I'm sure workers have found their share of sunglasses, hats etc that riders have lost. What are some of the strangest things you have found?

I tried looking for a previous thread on this... didn't find anything.

This is most intriguing... I hope there are some good ones on this! And if possible, I'd love a story on it. Just saying "we found a widget-thing-of-a-bob" is not enough, lol.

Cadillac cars several years ago found a leg. I only know this because the owner came looking for it at the police cars in kiddy kingdom. The owner lost it while riding raptor.

That's funny Jen.. I was on a call to Blue Streak last season and saw the same thing come off Raptor. I called up to Raptor to let them know they're going to have a rider come in looking for a lost article.

At TGIFridays people used to leave alot of stuff behind. Souveniers, a gross tube of alien slime, teddy bears, sun glasses, cameras, towels, blankets, baby bottles, pacifiers, game boys, cell phones, wallets, purses, clothing, retainers, etc.... It always made me happy when people left stuff because then I could take a walk at the end of the night and bring the stuff to Lost and Found! They used to let me keep the teddy bears!! Haha!

That reminds me when you said retainer Christie. Someone said that they lost there false teeth on the ride. We had to close the ride so we could look for them. We eventualy found them for the girl that lost them.

Hewlp! I've wost my teef on da Waptor!

A funny story I have...

...I was working the unload side of Mantis last year and as one train was unloading, a lady came up to me and pulled me aside. She asked if I could shut down the ride to go look for her WIG. I told her that we couldn't and that if it was found, we would turn it in to lost and found and that they can send it to her. That night when we did low zones, we never did find the wig, so I assumed that one of our "killer birds" has a pretty nice $300 nest. Oh well. That's why we tell you to secure any and all loose articles.

Choda,

If marijuana was the worst thing you found in the hotel rooms then you go off easy. I once found a knife that looked to have been left by Crocodile Dundee. No one ever clamied it to my knowledge.

Most of my other great stories really shouldn't be shared here.

well cheif, i won't get into some of the things that we're found because its just SICK...i just figured id add a comment of a strange thing i found...but working as a housekeeper, trust me, we find osme off the wall sick things.

A gun?? nice.....The worst thing I found working in foods in not fit for a family forum...I still get a chuckle thinking about it though.

I'm not worried about the "gun part", but finding ride parts under the actual ride...that kinda scares me!

Yea I guess finding the weapon in the grass is not so bad, its better than having it pointed at you. I would have just tossed the darn thing in the lake and shut up about it. RIDE PARTS????? WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT RIDE PARTS?? lol..nice

I did I was just emphasising my disbelief

I haven't worked at the'Point but I have worked in Food Services at college. I know that chili on a hot dog or burger can hide alot of nasties!

Remind me to only eat what I make, and nothing else... ever.
