Crazy stories/ questions from guest?

[Adam Snider]

Any former/ current CM have any funny or crazy questions they got from guest?

I used to work at a Disney store and was asked about heelys once and one question that really threw me off was someone asked if we had any sharknado shirts

I still think it's a travesty that Disney hasn't bought this franchise and run with it. It needs to be in a theme park. Or it's even great material for the fifth gate.

How ironic that this discussion of sharknado comes not so long after WDW closed shark reef at Typhoon.

You know one of the Sharknado movies was set at Universal Orlando, right?

There used to be a forum for WDW employees to complain about stupid guest tricks. I'm not sure if it still exists, but it was full of stories of WDW guests doing things that annoyed certain WDW employees.

Wow. I never knew that. I recall 20 years ago swimming in the ice cold water of shark reef.

In '09 I worked in monorails when guests were still permitted to sit up front with the pilot. I had many guests ask me if I was actually steering the train or if it was on a track.

That was great, they get inside the Universal globe for safety and the "sharknado" deposits them on the top of the IoA lighthouse. I have always wanted to climb that lighthouse on the stairs going around it. Would probably go much worse than the dude who climbed the Mexican pyramid at Epcot, he got away.

They also had a few scenes at the Uni Resorts too. Cabana Bay was mentioned a few times. It was just as much of a commercial as it was a movie.

Ice cold water was always a shock. Anyway, apparently WDW closed Shark Reef around 2016 or so, reportedly for high expense reasons.

It's literally in the name... MonoRAIL.

Thank you Simpsons: "Mono means one and rail means rail."
