Snake River Falls 03 (newbie)

well well let's see here....I have to say the funniest thing that I ever found (and the way that I found it) was in 2001 on The 'Screw. I was coming back from break and I was right underneath the loop and the little dip before the loop and out of no where something fell and hit me in the head. And it hurt! what was it...nothing less than...A WEAVE!! A weave people! are you hearing me? I got pelted in the head with some black woman's fake hair and it hurt! (see, I can say black woman and get away with it because i'm a half-breed myself LOL:) )I've also found weed, but that's about it. in two years at Corkscrew I've only found weed and hair. go figure:)

Naomi, I remember the day when, walking back underneath Corkscrew coming back from break, I found a snake! Someone had already killed it, but it scared me to DEATH! I'm deathly afraid of snakes, so even though it was dead, I still screamed...haha. Everyone liked to mess with me that day, saying that they had "snake germs" on them, as they ran up to give me a great big hug.

It was definitely a traumatic experience.

I worked at Town Hall in the evenings last year, which served as the lost and found for the back half of the park. The worst thing I ever had turned in was dirty underwear.... YES some 'good samaritan' (for lack of a better term) found soiled underwear in the bathroom and instead of thinking "someone soiled their pants and so they threw them away" they thought "some poor soul's undies fell off, I'll bet they'll come looking for them." So yes, they brought them to Town Hall wrapped in a paper towel. i handed them a garbage bag to put them in, and promptly threw them away.

redbrigade, I know what you mean. There were a couple of times a train came back into the staion and we found some fecal matter smeared about the seat. That is not fun to clean up! I too have had my fair share of tampons on the platform, yep, on the platform.

I surely hope that you had no physical contact with that guest! Lysol is not all that bad to bathe in.

Mike, i remember the snake:) I screamed like I lost my mind when I saw that. I had one of my people go "clean it up" because Park services wouldn't. I also remember I had to clean up a dead seagull, and one day (pre-ride opening) one of my guys found a dead bunny in the ques:( I like bunnies. I told thacker that I should have kept all of the dead animals that i found, lined them up in my dock box room, and charged a quarter for viewing.....on a count that they were immobile and all. BUT, I would never have done that. But the bunny...oh the bunny....:(

I remember a guest, she was probably like 12, came up to the desk and asked me for a phone book. She started looking up animal shelters, and I asked her what was wrong. She said she found a bat that was hurt on the beach and wanted to call an animal shelter to come take care of it because it was almost dead. I told the manager and she told me that the grounds crew would take care of it, so I told the little girl and she was happy. When I asked my manager for the number she said "Don't worry about it, we can't do anything." I felt kind of bad, but oh well.

I found a couple in a compromising position in a hotel jacuzzi. I guess that is strange, particularly at a family park.

I guess finding all the feces on rides gives new meaning to having the "crap" scared out of you while riding.

Now this is funny stuff!!! You should take each dead animal to Louie's with you and park it at your table, sort of like a trophy. Of course the bunny rabbit deserves a proper christian burial!

Where do you think those families come from? ;)

Yes but Cedar Point is a family environment not an environment for making families.

Heh...I know two former CP employees who started their family there.

Not to mention how many families were started in CP's hotels over the years.

I remember riding the Sky Ride over the lagoons. There was all kinds of stuff down there. Stuffed animals, toys, hats. It would have been neat to walk around the lagoons and harvest the stuff.

I figured that this was a thread worth reviving. Did anyone find anything interesting?

Well I don't or never have worked at Cedar Point. (But thinking of applying). But I found a condom in the restrooms.
