There is no such thing as a stupid guest.
There are only guests who forget to pack their brains in their fannypacks. :haha:

That video was incredible! How did that kid get into the splashdown lake anyway? A baseball cap isn't worth risking one's life.

The kid needs help. If you ask me, it would've done him justice if he got hit. A cap is NOT worth getting killed over.

No, that's not stupidity - even Cast Members refer to Spaceship Earth as "The Golf Ball".

Well, when they actually think that's the name of the ride...

Poor editing. There's no way to know how close he was to getting hit.

That may be true but he was dumb enough to risk getting hit by actually going in the water. The truth is Universal probably shut down the ride immediately after he got in. They do have security cameras that can catch this kind of thing.

My first year working at CP, I was working on Wicked Twister. We had to shut down the ride because a kid jumped over the fence surrounding the back spike to retrieve his hat that his buddy threw in there joking around. Thankfully, the ride was not in motion at the time and we saw it happen and prevented what could have been tragic... but, c'mon...
I straight up asked him if his life wasn't as important as his baseball hat... his response? "It's my lucky hat, man"

It would have been easier to ask a staff person to stop the ride to retrieve it.
But, whatever.

I guess he didn't want to wait till the end of the day to get his hat back.:rolleyes:

That kid is a jerk. If he had gotten hit they would have closed the ride down and ruined the day for everyone.
But seriously, he should be banned from the park.

A little more importantly, he would have died.
I'd take someone living over 1,000 ruined days.

^Ya it say the security guard just smiled and walk away. that security guard should be fired!!
Silver Park

The security gaurd should get fired becuse of not acting in an situation like this and the kid should be banned from the park becuse of breaking rules!

Guard should have been fired and the kid should have been ejected from the park. End of story. Unless the whole thing was staged.

If the guard did in fact know about, but did nothing, he should be fired and the kid should be banned from the park for life. I know some of you probably think that's a bit harsh, but pulling some idiotic stunt like that could endanger others as well as the moron who did it.

In 1998, there was a 24 year old man who was killed at Paramount's Great America trying to retrieve his wife's hat from under the Top Gun coaster. A passenger's foot struck the man. She was hospitalized with a severely broken right leg. There were "Do Not Enter" signs posted on the fencing around the ride, but it was stated that the man did not understand English. Personally, I would have thought the existence of the fences would have been enough to indicate that the area should not be entered, whether the language is understood or not.
So, the remarkable stupidity of retrieving a hat (or other item) in a coaster area might not only injure or kill the stupid person, it might also injure or kill riders who are innocent of the stupidity.

OK, I'm very curious. If that's the Maine thing, what's the Vermont thing?
And does that mean the U.S. has 50 different things about dumb guests?
Enquiring minds want to know! :D
