Oh god, I could go on forever about things that happened at the park. I'll just mention a couple in this post to keep things somewhat brief.
- My friends and I were walking down the fairly empty London street when I saw a London guard "passed out" on one of the benches. I decided to stop to see what he'd do... He shot up from his slumber and was breathing heavily and looked shocked. I kinda gave him a weird look waiting for an explanation and he goes, "OH it was a NIGHTMARE! I had a dream I was working at a theme park, and I was walking around in the blistering heat, and I was surrounded by countless tourists, oh it was terrible.." My friends and I had a good laugh at that one.
- I ride the Mummy so often every time I go to USH, one of the team members working at the photo station/counter remembers me
every single time. Now, this may or may not be because of the fact I always wear a bright yellow Homer sweatshirt with a Kwik-E-Mart name tag with my name on it, but who knows.
Every time I skip along down the staircase and walk up to the counter after getting off the ride, I look for his face - the second we make eye contact, he immediately says, "Eyy! William, wassup, buddy? Comere, let's see your face this time." My friend and I always have a competition to see who can make the weirdest face, and he gets a laugh at it every time. In fact, he thought our faces were so funny last time that he was generous enough to give us a free download code. Coolest guy ever. I'm gonna keep his name to myself, though, to make sure he doesn't get into any trouble..
Many of my stories involve short little encounters with characters. I love the real life characters (not ones in full body costumes) because they actually interact with the guests. It's scary how in-character they can be!
I've had little encounters with the Mummy, Lucy, Daphne, Shaggy, Doc Brown and Dora. Yes, I met Dora. Don't judge.
