I Loved Every Minute of It
I worked at Splash Mountain. Sometimes we had guests decide it was a great idea to hop out of the log because they didn’t want to ride anymore. Well, we know about that, every time. The ride is littered with motion sensors, pressure pads, the like. I have a photographic memory of the ride layout and even I wouldn’t be able to avoid being detected out of the log.
The flashers don’t happen very often, actually, it’s usually men with their shirts off. In this case, their ride photo is blanked out and they can’t purchase it.
We always had parents trying to sneak in kids who didn’t meet the height requirement. I do remember we had one family who kept trying for hours, thinking that the cast don’t talk to each other about problematic parents.
Ride evacuations were always interesting. But as long as you were strong and confident with the guests, they always listened. It’s really important to walk them through what’s going to happen and let them know you’ve done this more than enough times.
I also teased them that they were going to get a backstage tour, but it was gonna be real brief. And as long as they didn’t take pictures, they’d get a FastPass for their troubles. Every day was an event, but I loved every minute of it.
