As narrow as the path is, it creates some pretty nasty clogs if you have one or two people standing around gawking at the ride. So it's not just a Screamster issue, it's an issue to all the guests who are getting held up by these people.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
Yeah, because fog so thick you can't see your own hand in front of your face isn't nearly as dangerous.
Give me a break.

When people are just standing there taking pictures, they're going to get ran into by other guests, and us Screamsters. The fog can be really bad, and if you're stopped, it's best for themselves to move on or get in a safe spot.

Jeff, you think that stopping in that fog in a huge crowd of people makes things safer? Give me a break.
The off season is not even here and already everyone has stopped thinking. Did I say it was safer? No... I said it was no different. I've run into countless people in the scare zones because I can't see them. To suggest that some coaster nerd is creating any worse of a situation is silly.

Hi guys,
Just a reminder - current Cedar Point employees are discouraged from posting on Internet message boards unless they are authorized to do so as a park spokesperson.
This includes employees hired just for HalloWeekends, including Screamsters. Please consider the content you are posting, as all communication is monitored by park management.
Thanks.
Director of Communications at Cedar Point
Wow that is a first.
Firemen never die, they just burn forever in the hearts of the people whose lives they saved
Most of this thread has been employees talking about Terror Island a little too much, so I the warning is appropriate.
I never understood why folks put their job titles in their signatures. It's like painting a bullseye on yourself if you ask me.

I gotta say -- and maybe this is just me -- but that wasn't Tony's best photo . . .

Can we sticky just Tony's post somewhere? :)
We could, but then what would he do to make a living?
I dunno, isn't listening to people bitch about Web cams a full-time job?

AWWW! Tony's signature is more than 3 lines! His account should be DELETED! Jeff I expect you to get on this right away like you do everything else. ;)

I have a feeling that the Screamsters are going to be quietting down quite a bit for a while. My guess is they will even get a reminder about keeping quiet on message boards when they report this weekend.
Sorry Zach, but I doubt Tony is going to get banned.

I agree that there is no difference between huge amounts of fog and coaster nerds stopping and taking pictures. Both can cause the flow to slow down/stop... however it is worse when there is both. Terror Island is made to keep the flow as one unlike other scare zones where it is a free for all.
