A few weeks ago I visited the parks, and was about to board a boat on IASW.
The attraction went down, probably for a total of only 15 minutes, so people were still waiting in line for everything to resume as normal. It definitely wasn’t a noticeably long time.
Not sure what the procedure was, but the CM’s started to evacuate a few boats (not sure about all) during this time in their ordinary structured fashion.
What I witnessed next was pretty appalling and made me feel pretty upset for the CM’s. Guests were taking it into their own hands and exiting the boats themselves without any CM assistance or guidance. This was happening numerous throughout this shutdown time even when guests were being told not to exit the boats. The CM’s were clearly frustrated and stressed while this was happening but this was not changing any guest behavior.
Do people not realize how dumb and dangerous this is? It really upset me, because at the end of the day.. what can CM’s really do to prevent this?
Moral of the story, this is why we can’t have nice things.
