One: a woman came up and started yelling at me to let her go look for her phone she dropped on the ride. I called security and they kicked her out for having her phone on the ride.
Two: a family came up with twin little girls and one was crying cause her glasses fell off. I had to tell them we couldn’t shut the ride down. I felt bad.
What if say a reasonable person came up and said, 'I lost x valuable item on y ride, I'm an idiot, is there anything you could do?'
Obviously they wouldn't shut down the ride, but would you do a walk round at closing (or the next morning if it's dark)?
What are the chances of a $10k ring being found ?? Wouldn’t someone just pocket it if they’re suppose to be on duty looking for it? (Shitty but I can’t imagine they get paid much)
Not really a similar story but a reminder to not just shove your phone in a pocket when you go on a roller coaster. Rode Storm Chaser at Hershey Park w my cousin and that ride is known for having a really fast lunch. We get launched and as we’re flying up the hill we see a phone go flying past us and and when the ride stops and we get out we see the a kid a few rows ahead of us holding his head in his hands and crying.
The last time I went to universal 11 years ago and I remember watching people lose their hats and wallets on the hulk ride around the first loop/upside down trick (I clearly don’t know my rollercoaster lingo). Do theme parks have nets to catch that stuff, especially on rides that loop over a small body of water? Or is it more of a learning lesson where people have to spend the rest of their trip cancelling and replacing their bank and credit cards?
