Stupid Questions at KBF

[DLRFantasmic!Dan]

When I worked at KBF in 2001, I got lots of stupid questions like:

Guest: Where is Log Jammer?
Me: You mean The Log Ride or Wind Jammer?
Guest: No, Log Jammer.
Me: That's at Magic Mountain.

Anyone got anything else?

I used to work the switchboard at Raging Waters. This is the most I can remember from one call, it's true, and I wish I could remember the rest. This woman had a ton of them.
The players: Crazy Lady, Raging Waters Slave

CL: Can I park by the beach?
**The beach? WTH?**
RWS: What beach would you be referring to?
CL: The one next to the wave pool.
RWS: No ma'am, all cars park in the parking lot.
CL: Are you sure?
RWS: Ma'am, have you ever been to Raging Waters?
CL: No
RWS: Well, have you ever been to Disneyland? (Yes I used a Disneyland reference, I figured she had to have been there.)
CL: Yes.
RWS: Well ma'am, parking next to the wave pool would be like parking next to Space Mountain, it's just not possible.
CL: Oh. Well, is the parking lot near the fairgrounds?
**The fairgrounds? WTH?**
RWS: You mean the Pomona Fairgrounds?
CL: Yes, I see here that it is next to Raging Waters.
RWS: Well, it's down the street a way, so it's not really next to the fairgrounds.
CL: So I can't get to the fair from your parking lot?
RWS: No, and ma'am, the fair isn't until September.

She was reading something, I have no idea what, and it was filled with bad information. I would have loved to get my hands on whatever it was she had. This was about 14 (Good Lord, I'm getting old) years ago, so it probably was not on the internet. Back then, the internet was just for porn. I remember getting off that call and rubbing my temples in the fashionable WTH manner.

Well see if you can top this one buddy. I was in the guest greeter position one afternoon at Jaguar and a kid (about 12 or 13) approached me. And in this sweet but very serious manner he asks me "Excuse me is this ride (pointing at Jaguar) part of that ride (pointing at the xcelerator track) ?" And I politely looked at him with a confused look and said no its not. After he left i started busting up laughing, it was hilarious.

When I worked on the Calico Railroad, it was amazing how many people asked where's the entrance to the train. I mean, we had a sign over the door of the depot that clearly said "Train Entrance", plus next to the door was a Rider Safety Guide with the ride requirements on it, which is posted at the entrance of every ride in the park, plus, except when it was in the shop, we had a big green portable sign that said Enter out front. Worst of all were the people who tried to make their own entrances/exits by climbing over the termite-eaten fences (better known as line-jumping or cutting). One time there was this little (about 6-8 years old) Mexican girl,who, although I told her repeatedly where the entrance to the train was, couldn't understand. I mean, she spoke English, but what part of "building", as in 'Go in through the building' didn't she understand? I mean, anyone with the most basic powers of observation can look at the guests standing in queue, or at least see how the line is set up, can see where the entrance is. People today have no common sense at all, not even for rote memory tasks (hence the name of this site :) ). And yes, I've had guests ask if the rides are interconnected. In Camp Snoopy, it was amazing to see how many guests thought that Huff'N'Puff was the entrance to Montezooma's Revenge, next door in Fiesta Village! One morning, I actually had a dozen people come up to Huff'N'Puff, thinking that it was where they got on MR! I had the directions memorized in short order--from HNP, go towards the ferris wheel, turn left, and when you leave Camp Snoopy, the entrance to both MR and Jaguar! are on your left. Also at the train, there was/is a chain across an opening between the depot and the queue fence, and hanging from it is a sign that says on one side, "Not an entrance"; on the other side it says, 'Not an exit'. Believe me, loads of people would stand at that chain and ask, "Is this the entrance?". Come to Knott's, leave your brain at home. :rolleyes:

I'm more interested in knowing how the crowds will be on July 17, 2055... :D:

[SoarWhoreCoCo]

I'm more interested in knowing how the crowds will be on July 17, 2055... :D:Well with the current ticket price increases I would say the crowds would be very light as the average cost for multi-day tickets would be in the thousands...lol :D:

What's even scarier can you just imagine the SGTs of the future...

I teleported all the way from _________ just to ride this ride and your telling me it's broken!

What do you mean you took out the Many Adventures of WTP and replaced it with Mister Toad's Wild Ride?!!!

Sign on the 20K lagoon at WDW..slightly faded and worn..."Temporarily closed for your future enjoyment"*

Guest Staring At Xcelerator, in Station: "Does this ride go fast?"
*Train launches*
Me: "Nope, not at all."

No,No,No. By then you'd just send $100.00 and do the whole trip through virture reallity,from the comfort of you're own living room. Brought to you by you're local OIL company. :eek: There will be no gas by then of course. :D:
