Rules. While some are meant to be broken, others are not.
Rules set forth by an amusement park are rules put in place for saftey and enjoyment at the park.
#1. Recording On Roller Coasters/ Atrractions in general.
You know those big signs saying: "NO CAMERA OR OTHER LOOSE ARTICLES ON THIS RIDE". They're there for a reason. If an object was to fall from a coaster hit a guest, the park would be liable, and could suffer from a major lawsuit. Cameras flying from roller coasters are very dangerous, and can very badly injure someone.
Know what else? Technically taking a POV of a ride with permission is illegal. Yes, you heard me right.
Currently the Park Chain ride that allows recording are the Disney Parks.
#2. Dropping Items from drop towers.
This is a very serious and dangerous problem for many parks.
Guests take pennies and other small items and throw them from the tops of drop towers.
Guess what? I've seen pennies BRUISE from being dropped 250ft. And imagine if it was a quarter? Dropping items is extremely dangerous, and you can be ejected from the park if caught.
#3 Parents attempting to take children on rides they are not tall enought to ride.
I've seen this happen, and it's quite scary. Journey to Atlantis at Sea World San Diego has a minimum height requirement of 42 inches. I've seen parents take kids on who are a good 2-3 inches shorter.
Ride restraints and manuevers are designed for people larger than 42". When someone takes a child on who is lower, they run the risk of being thrown from the ride.
#4. The most obnoxious, irritating, irksome, infuriating, and ridiculous problem of all:
Line Jumping.
We've all seen this before. I've had a whole Hispanic Family of 20-30 people cut me in line for a coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain. (no racism intended)
You people can't just can't wait in line like everyone else? It's sad and pathetic.
Those are just some of the more general rules that are often broken.
I hate when people cut me in line. Oh and, pennies cannot bruise, even if dropped from the Empire State Building. At most, they fall 30Mph. It only stings a little. My reference? "The Encyclopedia of Immaturity" book, by Klutz.
i was at universal, and i wanted to ride the hulk.the line was freaking short, i didn't have to wait.it was walk straight to the coaster.so i'm walking there, and this women and a fat guy are walking there.well, i'm walking faster than them them and get ahead of them as there walking.the fat guy says"dude, this a line. cutting in line is illegal.".then the women said"yeah, you can get kick out of the park for that".she pissed me off so bad, i said"maybe you and fatty over there should walk faster then".then i pretty much walk on to the coaster.the guy said"you sun of a %$#!&!".the girl said"%&$# you!".i told these guys who waorked there what they said.they where about to get in a front car when the guys said"you two.come here".they came there and the gaurds made them say sorry.they let me get in front where they where.and they where kicked for the park.
You just need to ask nicely to cut-lines. Pull a "Hey, I'm from a school group, and they're farther up in the line, can we cut ahead?"
Works wonders. You don't even have to lie because whenever I go to amusement parks I'm with a school group
I presume you meant "Without permission" about the filming bit?
I absolutely DESPISE queue-jumpers, they're arrogant, selfish snobs who think nothing of the needs of others, and seem to think they're far more important than anyone else. I've seen my fair share of them, aand I hate them.
punishment for line cutting should be that you are escorted to a different ride called waiting in line. theres nothing at the end and it last two hours
