My fav story to date is when a lady came to space with about 3 kids.
One of them was to short by like a inch, so whoever was outside called out tower and told us to let merge know that a lady had just pushed her way past return and was heading inside. Being the all star CM I am...I headed to merge as backup. Just as I get there my fellow CM (and friend) starts telling the lady, she is to short...we can't let her ride. The women replies that the little one has been on every ride in the park including splash and thunder...and that she is GOING to ride space. Now my fellow CM at this point is standing inside the turnstile...the women PUSHES her way past him with force...it was kind of funny but I am like oh no...I pull up my radio and let everyone know what is up...then I walk with the women from merge all the way to our grouper...explaining to the women how we can go about making sure that everyone can ride. The sad part was that her older daughter was saying she didn't want to ride...and was asking her mom not to force her into riding... But she just kept saying "we are all going to ride, you are going to have to shut space mountain down because other wise I we are all getting on" At this point I knew there was nothing that could be done so I start calling in backup.
At this point my backup arrives and we are not at grouper who has just measured the little one and she is STILL to short...now that my coordinator is there, she starts calling around the park letting all of MK know what is up...I am like great...this is awesome...I tell tower to go ahead and dispatch inhibit so that this women won't try and jump into a train. So now we have an empty dock but for the lady who is yelling about how she works for the Orlando Sentinel and how we are never going to hear the end of this.
After that we started moving everyone from B side to A and evacing the rockets that where already ready to go.
Then more backup arrives along with security and when she saw them coming she started running with her kids...at this point we had already cut the line outside can called ourselves 101.
I always wanted to know what became of her....but I don't think she ever thought we should shut down the ride to make sure her daughter remained safe.
