@@CourtneyLachiver You can emulate Seeder Point. It's easy to torrent the park, true to its' name. But if you plan to do it, my .44 Magnum is poised and ready to fire. Time to be scared.
I worked as costumed characters (face and mascot/fuzzy), or as a stage dancer/performer for amusement parks, and oddly they still had me watch these safety videos...I didn’t mind, I was paid either way.
They need to update this video for 2022 to include basketball dribbling from 3-point shoot outs, where to stand in line in Dragster so you don't get hit by debris when it launches, and how to deal with local sandusky tweakers
5:21 I was a ride operator for almost 2 years and about a few weeks before I left I had a woman do this exact same thing. This was after I measured her son and told her he couldn’t ride. She just came up to the ride and said that she’d assume all responsibility and then I had to stop her and get a manager. Turns out he was tall enough after all and I couldn’t see it from where I was standing. But that didn’t stop this woman from yelling and screaming at me that, “This is embarrassing” over and over and that I embarrassed her. I wasn’t the one embarrassing her though, she was doing that all on her own by yelling and screaming at me and my manager like a crazy person in front of the whole park.
I’ve witnessed this when I worked at amusement parks as well. My coworkers would share stories of bribes being offered, threats, tears, begging, or other nonsense like that from guests. I myself was never a ride operator, I was either a dancer/stage performer or costumed character (face and mascot).
The situation was largely your fault, honestly. The customer saw that the kid was tall enough and got denied for a seemingly arbitrary reason. That gets people really upset. It's like when you know you were going the speed limit and a cop writes you a ticket for 20 over. You would be furious. Good customer service training would be to double check before denying anybody. Stop, say you're double checking without accusing, and clearly measure the kid again so both the mom and you are completely sure and there's no room for argument. If it was a mistake the first time, then just say thank you have a nice ride, and nobody would even notice.
Man I remember when I was 8 and I didn't have my glasses on while riding the Wave Swinger and my depth perception is horrible without them so we were like 5 feet off the ground but I thought we had stopped all the way so I got off and I think we all know where that went from there. I wasn't hurt though.
“You might remember me from such amusement park safety training videos such as ‘Krustyland: Safety Is NO LAUGHING MATTER’, and ‘Mount Splashmore: Not EVERYONE pees in the water!’...”
That music at 5:43 reminds me of the Playhouse Video Release Previews for the Musical Adventures of Raggedy Ann and Andy. What is the name of that old corny 80's music?
my sister went on roller coasters pregnant with niece Sydney. Yes I'm aware of any and all questions and I regret to inform you I Do not have the answers and never will. The niece in question is now almost or is 15 and is perfectly happy and healthy.
Lol, you notice CP unforim has not changed until recently. Alot of the rides have . We can tell this training vedio is clearly from the the 80s lol. I remember when the blue streak had lap bars like that. Lol
I'm going crazy trying to figure this out: what is that log flume ride that they're showing in the video? It's obviously not Snake River Falls because the track isn't wide enough, and it's not White Water Landing because the vehicles for that ride were boats. I do remember the ride shown in the video, I rode it as a kid, but I don't remember what it was called!
very cool thanx for sharing. thats a lot to ask for a summer job but all of it is important. elwood must also be a stunt man ; 13:40 never attempt to repair a ride yourself. maintenance personnel are the only ones trained and authorized to make repairs...(and most importantly they're union) ;
I take offense to that as a Carowinds Merchandise associate. We were taught that Carolina Hospitality was most important for our guests. I make sure to treat every guest well. I'm sorry that Cedar Point associates treated you badly.
