Is this yours?

[DPRSSDNKY]

I just remember this story after I typed my reply about Chicago and Six Flags Great America! (But I'm from Chicago...thread) Anyway, my cousin worked for the SFGA a few years back and she was behind the Batman ride (the overhead one were your legs swing down) and she was giving her friend a hug because he had just passed his test to be a ride operator for Batman. So the next thing they know, there is a loud THUD! next to them and when they turn around, there is a leg on the ground which barely missed hitting them. They take the leg up to the exit platform, hold it up and yell "DOES THIS BELONG TO ANYONE?" Sure enough there is a woman getting off the ride who has one good leg and my cousin's friend is holding her prostectic.

You think Disneyland is expensive? Six Flags will cost you an arm or a leg!

Hats fly off all the time on the Astro Orbitor at DL, so I pick it up and go find the owner. Long time ago, when I used to work at Supreme Scream at Knotts, shows always seem to fly off and land right PLOP in the center, barly missing me!!

[DPRSSDNKY]

Ever have a leg come with the shoe?

[DLRFantasmic!Dan]

Nope, that would be just scary!! LOL

I'm pretty embarrassed about this, but I was at DCA and was about to get on the Maliboomer when I started to remove a hearing aid (so that I could put on the OTS restraint) but then dropped it, and it fell under the seats. So I just kind of told the CM that I dropped it and couldn't spot it, but I could probably get it after the ride was done. It took about 5 minutes to find it (it's about an inch long, teeny little black thing), but the CM was very helpful, even though I kept everyone in line waiting.

I'm not a stupid guest. Hell, I knew I should remove the darn thing before I went on. I'm just clumsy. :rolleyes:

[GMC]

i wonder what the proper course of action is for that at DL, i can kinda see it now

"GMC, why did you hit the ride stop."

"Well I was watching the monitors, and then there was a leg in the track, I hit the RS, and went for the E, but then decided that since it was only part of a person, not a whole person that it shouldn't get full "SH!* PERSON ON THE TRACK" treat ment. Can I have a sticker?"

"..."

Oh those DL stickers.:rolleyes: Had forgotten abt them. Hasn't Attractions moved on up to the Gold coin reward game? 100 Gold Disney coins & you have an Apple IPod, or so "they" promise. I need 70 more.

"Can i have a sticker?" is MY line!

Same thing at tower, someone lost their cell phone on the ride. If they lost it and couldnt find it in the cab. Most likely its in the pit in millions of pieces.

A cell phone lost almost hrly. Then they want us to "go" find it ASAP. Sorry, not gonna happen. Ma'am, try lost & found beyond the Golden Gate plz. HA, like they will ever have a cell from TOT & Screamin in one piece.

[BTTF4Life]

At Dueling Dragons in Islands of Adventure, there was a news story on how a guy actually lost his prosthetic leg on the ride. I even know the guy who loaded and unloaded the guest. The loader even asked if the guest was fine and his leg was secure.

They never did find the leg.

Aside from that, hats cell phones, even hairpieces fly off on ROTM at Universal Studios. I know, because I walked the track every night. Twice I had a guest lose a wig/hairpiece! Imagine trying to explain that to Lost & Found!

[SoarWhoreCoCo]

WHen I worked at Tower of Terror (MGM), I loved working at unload. Daily I did a happy dance inside while looking solemn outside when a Guest would say as they exited, "I dropped my camera (or anything else they were told to hang on to or leave with a non-rider)"
Me: "Oh dear...I am sooo :twisted: sorry but unfortunately it has disappered into the 5th dimension...If it reappears it will be taken to lost and found at the end of the night"
Them: "You can't get it?!!!! I just dropped it at the end of the ride before we turned around here."
(Here's my favorite part) sounds coming from the lift of Guests Screaming and the door opening and the next car backing up...CRUNCH, CRACKLE, SNAP, TINKLE, TINKLE!
Me: "I am very sorry, but it sounded as if your (item) did not survive the return from the fifth dimension, you may pick up what's left at Lost and Found later."
(Happy dance, happy dance)
:dancear:
I know bad Karma will bite me on the butt...but it made me so happy)

[Notatourist]

BTTF-

You do know that's the second time that has happened.

[BTTF4Life]

I am aware.

I would love to be there for that! :twisted:

I am a ride operator at Six Flags Great America, and every year they use the prosthetic leg story during the initial training session as an ice breaker type example of what you'll encounter while working at Six Flags. Of course, we all know that this isn't what you'll usually encounter, but it's still a fun story to talk about. Wigs are another strange posession guests tend to lose.

[Driver_dylan]

as a once manager of the Montu ride at BGT, I can say that the strangest thing we ever found in one piece, was a six inch dildo. This item was found at the upper brake platform during a walk through one night by one of my team.

[LittleDollClaudia]

So the guest wasn't just satisfied with the thrills from being at a theme park, huh?? Why would you have something like that on your person? Unless it belonged to a CM, but still.. ;)

[mechurchlady]

People get thrills out of doing adult stuff in unusual locations especially public places. I belong to too many kid friendly sites to be able to say more but you get the picture I hope. In private you may want to talk to some dark ride operators about what people do when they think nobody is looking.

I never got my glass back from Splash Mountain. If anyone found five dollars that was mine.

I'd love to go down there and see all the stuff thats been droped. :D:

[Panther007]

I'd love to go down there and see all the stuff thats been droped. :D:me too

well i gotta go, its off to lost and found, i need a new jacket

[monorail_man1979]

me too

well i gotta go, its off to lost and found, i need a new jacketHA HA HA Thats funny. When I was in High School. I worked in the office. Once a month we would go through the lost and found and anything that wasnt claim was free game. Most thing liek Jackets and such we donated to the homeless shelter, but watches, phones, ect, we would nab. :D:

[The Canuck]

I lost my cellphone on Mission Space... somehow... worst part was working on the ride and having to return 20 min later to ask my co-workers to do a check (the stupid part was I felt something fall out of my pocket during the ride but forgot by the end and didn't check... shortly after went for my phone and I've never seen it again.) I didn't care it was just a cheap Virgin Mobile pay as you go one, but still sucks to loose it at the attraction you work at...
