Soarin' Gone Wild

[seashoreCM]

Then on SM last May a guy and his three kids, between 10-14 years old, were all acting very badly! The boy in front of my was dipping his hand in the water and splashing his sister in front of him - she went to retaliate and he dodged to the side - so *I* got wet! On the way down the hill the DAD holds a bottle of water over his shoulder (to wet his boys) and it goes straight between them and SMACK IN MY FACE!D

On Splash Mountain you should expect to get wet.

On Space Mountain the bottle (and something more as inverse compensation) should have been seized as the former could get loose and fall on someone in a rocket passing below.

I thought from the title that it was going to be "Girls on video going...WOOOOOOOOO!!" I couldn't figure out why in the world girls would want to lift their shirts on that ride. There's no pictures taken. LOL


Hooray for Disney!!!

I thought the same thing!

Yeah Disney CMs!!!!!!

Makes you really appreciate the CMs and the job they do!

And here I thought you saw the same couple I did the beginning of this month who were exiting this ride, the woman holding a teacup poodle in her arms. I could not believe someone had 1 - brought a nonworking dog into the park and 2 - brought the dog onto Soarin'. What if the poor thing had gotten scared and jumped from her arms while they were up in the air?

I am THRILLED to hear Disney doing the right thing. I have been on several rides over the years that have been ruined by obnoxious behavior by teens AND adults. I have seen too many small kids really become afraid because of that an older person considers a "joke".

BTW - that poodle thing is cracking me up. I have to believe it was just a really good "fake", like a purse or backpack. If someone actually got into the park, walked around, and got on a ride with a dog....well, I'd find it hard to believe. Imagine, with that top notch bag check at the gates that something like this could happen!!!

I'm glad the Cms made the decision to remove the kids from the ride. I wish they would do that more often...although they would have to stop alot of rides. I have been in certain attractions and had the experience totally ruined by what are usually rude teenagers. The Haunted Mansion is always one of those rides. It never fails, I always end up in the streatching room with a group of them screaming so lound you cannot hear any of the narration and they proceed to scream throughout the entire ride!

The guy with her had a backpack slung over his shoulder, so I guessed that's how they got the dog in. Didn't think about the bag check part, obviously. It looked real to me, and I was standing fairly close to her when she walked by. Who knows. Stranger things have happened.

Oh my gosh....I cannot believe this.... I was on the ride at that same time!!...It was the early AM run on Friday 11/4 right??? We had my mother with us and she was in a WC so they put us in the back row (or maybe that is just where we wound up)....but I was really afraid it would upset my mom, because she isn't all that crazy about heights....but she actually did fine (I guess being in the bottom row helped).

We had been standing right behind the group of yahoos for 15 or 20 minutes in line and the "screamer" (the chubby hispanic girl in the navy blue tee shirt)had been trying the entire time to impress one of the boys in the group, who was far more interested in one of the other girls....the screamer was really being inappropriate in line, grabbing at the others, pushing and shoving, etc. At one point the CM in the loading/preshow area asked her to stand still and watch out for the other guests because she was being so rough....she acted like it was a big joke and started mocking the cast member as soon as he turned away.

My mother may be 85 but she still thinks she is everyone's mother and was about to give the girl a piece of her mind when they opened the doors to seat us.

However the sad end to the story is....as we were leaving the ride manager was lecturing the group and they refused to give them the anytime fast passes, but we saw them walking around future world 15 minutes later so obviously they did not remove them from the park. However I do agree with the OP that it did take them down a notch or 2....they weren't acting smart when the manager finished with them. Hopefully the girl learned a small lesson in group behavior.

It was pretty cool to see the place with the lights on....it is really an impressive sized screen and you are farther away from it than it seems when the movie is going!!

I'm glad that Disney took the miscreants off the ride and confronted them about their behavior. I'm also glad that they weren't removed from the park. Honestly, that's just too harsh.

As far as the pp who had trouble on Splash, the family should've been pulled aside as well. Yes, you should expect to get splashed on the ride, but you shouldn't expect to get soaked by another doofus in your log. Why don't people think about how they can injure themselves or another person? Crushed hand anyone?

 

[Lesia]

yea for Disney.

When we were there in October, I was taking pics with my new camera, and the flash was off. Other person was taking pics with flash on, I think it PotC, and an announcement was made to stop. My kids looked at me, but I told them wasn't me. But the other person just kept on.

 

[honeymo78]

I have noticed an increase in the warnings by CMs during rides to stop the flash photography and make sure people sit down. This happened almost everytime we were on POC in Oct

1. The shirt got wet.

2. Yes a picture is taken (by Disney) on the final drop and you see the proofs as you exit.

3. I would like to see some girl thinking of lifting her shirt front instead take her shirt off completely and hold it up in the air waving it around.

3a. ... and drop it.

4. Do a Google search for "flash mountain" (subject to availability)

I think teenagers are getting worse and worse (and really I'm not that far off from being one). They just don't know how to behave. I know that is a generalization; you will always have your well mannered youths (my friends and I were) but then you have the obnoxious screaming kids who try to ruin Disney, steal the pumpkins from your front porch and smash them, and over all just be as annoying as they can be.

When we were at Disney in July we had four boys about 14 years old who were being really jerky while waiting in line for ToT. Of course I got stuck in the same elevator as them. The cm loaded the boys in first and yelled at them. He then told us that if they ruined the ride we were to ask the cm's at the end of the ride to let us ride again. The CM gave us his name (I don't remember it) and said to say he told us we could.

Well as soon as the elevator doors closed the kids were at it. Screamed and shouted the whole way through. I didn't want to bother with another ride...and I really didn't want it to ruin my day either so I just let it go.

I just don't see why parents can't seem to instill proper behavior in their kids.

A full 30 years ago (actually more, I forget exactly) kids took the pumpkins from my (actually my folks') front porch and smashed them. How old are those kids and their kids now?

Been on Tower of Terror several times and quite often teenages screamed loudly throughout the ride.

SB: Wow--yes it was Friday! I remembered it wrong. And, I thought it was the guy they wound up catching...although it did sound more like a female scream! How funny to have met another from the ride, even if I am a little disappointed in my fantasy that the whole group was unceremoniously escorted from the park! Instead, it was like they were deprived of desert after supper...no fastpass return for you!!!! Alas.

I'm confused.....

You get wet on Soarin'? And it takes a picture at the end??


I have heard about all of that on Splash Mountain. I've even taken a gander at "Flash Mountain".

 

[VSL]

See, I think that the teenagers - or at least the ones acting up - should have been removed from the park. Maybe they'd think twice about acting so rudely next time - no matter where in the park.

One, maybe two years ago, my family and I were on Pirates of the Carribean. We were in the front, and the ride seemed relatively quiet, this was while we were still loading people on. Then, of course, a wonderful group of about 10 teenagers just HAD to come on and scream those wonderful screams we all know about. My mother said "Well it looks like we're on the 'fun boat' now" I can't believe some people...but it's nice to know that Disney will sometimes do something about it.

That reminds me of my first ride on POTC in DL, there were some Asian teenagers sitting behind my friend and I, and anytime it got dark, one of their friends would spook them, and we'd get their screams right in our ears! Not a fun thing! Also, when my friend and I were at USH, we decided to ride Back To The Future, and there was just us with a bunch of Asian teenagers (who descended upon the ride vehicle like fleas on a dog when the doors opened), they SCREAMED the whole ride!

Exactly. I hate it when people are so inconsiderate. Oh gosh, now I feel like I'm bing selfish......but I still hate it when one group ruins it for everyone.
