Craziest thing happened during Guardians pre-show on Saturday..

Remember the Norway movie?!? lol

Where you're supposed to stay and watch it after disembarking Maelstrom? LOL. It got to the point that CMs left the doors open to the outside so people could walk all the way through the theatre.

Some cast carry company issued iPhones that have text capable to talk to management.

That’s what I was hoping it was.

You don’t have to push hard on the doors. The doors have panic bars specifically so that people can easily just push on the door and get out. The pushers (“motors”) push the doors open but don’t hold it closed.

The middle door, a dad was using all his might to push it open, the other doors opened easier.

Consider that management have a number of areas to cover they may not get to the area right away.

I would not be surprised if this preshow room gets some sort of railing for this and the choke point and also the whole wall that moves so close to guests

It's been happening since it first opened, nearly 2 years now... if they seriously cared they would have done something by now

These CMs really didn’t care

With what WDW pays them - -why should they?

Park starting wage for entry level is higher than entry level TSA staff at MCO. Guess who has more responsibility?

Hmm, CMs have a decent wage. Like I said I’m not expecting them to put their bodies at risk though.

Yeah I guess people have been jumping out of rides for forever now and they still haven’t done much. They seem to be less conservative when it comes to guest restraints than Universal.

Hate the pre shows at GotG…not for the content but because of the mob mentality that occurs. My mom uses a scooter and they always direct to to the edge. Then she’s stampeded as if invisible to get into the next pre show. She’d be happy to be the last out except that they always have her next to the doors and it’s as if it’s black Friday at Walmart! We asked if she could bypass the preshow do to this due To her sever claustrophobia and anxiety and were told “no”. She’s even gone without her scooter so she can relieve her anxiety but the pushing of other guests and her balance makes for a dangerous combo.

Well apparently you can just open the doors next time and no one cares

I'm going with a family in March. I'm going to suggest we zing while everyone else zang's. (i.e. hold back. It's not like we won't board.)

The whole crowd splits into two sides at load so there's nothing gained by rushing the doors other than being annoying to those around you and saving maybe like a minute?

One time my husband and I went to the exit and asked if we could go in and watch the film, we hadn't seen it in awhile. The cast member was shocked and asked us if we were sure that we were wanting to see the film. They probably thought we were trying to find a backdoor to the ride or something. But nope, we just wanted to watch the film.

The Guardians preshow is poorly designed... You don't see this issue with similar pre-shows.

They were testing keeping the middle door roped off to help with the crowd surge and bottle neck a couple months ago.

There was a movie in Norway?!

If it wasn’t user error then that’s a life safety issue that Disney needs to address.

People don't appreciate show. Anticipation followed by pay-off. Immersion, tension, being sucked into a world for a little while.

What are they like between the sheets? Or the dinner table? They snatch their steak from the plate while the waiter is still holding it and stuff it whole into their mouth?
