Top 10 ANNOYING Theme Park Guests

[@ThemeParkCrazy]

Can you spot all the character cameos? Feel free to comment the timestamps! Also, CORRECTION: The story about Piglet happened at Crystal Palace, not Chef Mickey's. Also, I'm on Tik Tok because I wanted to stop copycats from pretending to be me. Elise Eklund did the same thing. Tik Tok is full of misinformation, and I want to combat it by adding in real research that's as factual as I can make it.

As someone who uses disability accessibility passes, thank you for mentioning that we aren't just skipping the line just because. The amount I've been chewed out because of needing to use the pass and getting on at the exit is disheartening and does take away from the fun of amusement parks sometimes. We literally couldn't do amusement parks without the accessibility passes.

[@me-myself-i787]

I think a lot of them ARE skipping the line just because. Not all of them, obviously. But no-one likes queueing for rides unless the queue is extremely well designed, so some people will just use their disability as an excuse to skip the line. I remember when I was around six, I used a ride accessibility pass because of a mental condition I have. I felt guilty, because I had queued up for rides before, so I didn't really need the pass. So, I have never used one of those passes since, in spite of my parents telling me that I'm entitled to these passes because of my disability. My family really doesn't respect theme park etiquette. I plan on continuing that unless I go back to Chessington; Dragons' Fury's queueline is dreadful, and I really do need to skip that one. But I do agree that people shouldn't just assume that people don't really need the ride accessibility passes.

[@lilblackbelt0001]

@@me-myself-i787 I totally get that. For my brother and I we cant handle the crushing of lines so that's the main reason we use the pass. That being said, I'm always like no rush to put us on. We can wait a few cycles, just in a less crowded/crushed area. My brother also doesn't do well with the back and forth switch back line cues especially if there is nothing to distract him unlike how Disney's queues have things going on. I can do longer waits in regular queue lines than my brother can but if the wait time isn't crazy, we'll try to wait in the regular queue. I do prefer when passings let us use the fasttrack lanes so we are still having to wait some and it doesn't make me feel as guilty as going through the exit does.

[@AwesomestParks]

Disability pass ain't about skipping the lines 😂 it's a return time, allowing guests like me with autism or anyone with physical disabilities to not stand in line for the amount of time But honestly I see a lot of people who Don't really have disabilities but make excuses for it And honestly theme parks pick up a lot of the disability pass

[@LinRuiEn]

Yes, thank you. I am disabled and I try to wait in lines when I can, but lines that are on unstable ground (cracked concrete, gravel, etc) or go over even small hills are inaccessible to me so sometimes I have to use them.

[@AwesomestParks]

@@LinRuiEn oh it annoys me I see teenagers thinking that the disability pass is exactly like fast pass but Here at Disney world Orlando you have to sign up online and get approved by park officials before receiving the pass and also if you get the pass it's required to be active on an app instead of paper is what I was told

[@samanthaantosh2571]

I am so glad you addressed the way some people treat people dressed as characters. As an avid con goer, I wish more people would understand that cosplay is not consent. The same goes for workers dressed as characters; I wish more people would treat them with respect! I totally understand how these park employees feel and it is not fair for anyone to treat anyone in the ways that some people think is okay just because they are dressed as a certain character.

[@cindys9491]

Right...and in the case of park workers, the costume is not even their choice. Respect

[@lunayoshi]

@@cindys9491 This is true. My ex's wife worked as a costumed character. She was 5' 10", so she couldn't be Pinocchio or anything short. She was always Goofy or one of the taller characters. She said it was random every shift. She also said it was hotter than hell and the costumes reeked of B.O.

[@spydersoup8447]

Yeah. I can't tell you how many times I've witness people being obsessed with characters because they happen to wear very 'revealing' outfits that make them hot and attractive, but as I am a character designer myself, I can tell you that just because the character looks attractive, that doesn't mean they're interested in sex, in many cases the reason why they wear revealing outfits that give them the side effect of looking attractive is because they're fighters and are very fit, you gotta wear the right clothes like a sports skirt, tank tops, shorts or specifically designed clothing to move a lot more easily when running, getting through obstacles and fighting enemies and fully sleeved clothing is not the best at active moving. In some cases, the character also wears these outfits because they live in a really hot environment like a desert where fully baggy clothing isn't ideal when exploring in the heat.

[@StarkRaven59]

Personal pet peeve of mine is the general human tendency to stop and congregate in the middle of a high-traffic area.

[@kymmie_girl]

A note on the accessibility one at the end. Remember that not all disabilities are visible. My brother is autistic, but it’s not obvious to everyone just looking at him. We used the accessibility entrance for him at several theme parks when we were kids because he has problems with crowds and tight spaces. And there were people who gave us dirty looks from the regular line because he wasn’t in a wheelchair or anything. It wasn’t like we didn’t have a wait at all, it was just a different wait than most people were getting. This was also 20+ years ago, so I hope people are more accepting of it now.

[@OverlordZeroULTIMA]

As an autistic myself, THANK YOU for pointing that out! And heck, mental disabilities aren't the only ones that aren't visual. Heart problems and maybe even certain cancers aren't visible, unless you have the equipment to see inside a person's body. My mom had heart problems and used a pacemaker so she would walk slower, or use a wheelchair/motorized scooter. When she got worse, it was defintely the latter, especially in large places like theme parks. If we were just going to a restaraunt, we'd just hold her hand or something and help her to a seat and such. But even then, I remember some kid once asking (maybe they actually just flat out said it) "why is she walking so slow?" or "she's moving slow" and I admit, I got kinda ticked. But luckily the parent(? Idk, an adult with the kid) answered with a more general answer, "Some people move differently" or something. I was able to accept that instead of what I would've shouted (which I won't post, LOL; I wouldn't had used vulgar language, but I would've been very angry and had a sharper tone). I'm sure it was an innocent thing, but I want to say the tone was kinda...Off...So idk how genuine it was. I think it was, if it was a question; It was years ago and my mom passed since. TLDR: Just agreeing with what you said. Not all disabilities are visible, so don't just assume we're cheating the system or something. (I also struggle with large crowds, and even certain temperatures, such as extreme heat, and loud/sudden sounds) Editing because I noticed a typo. Words how? XD

[@meganbayly2838]

Even beyond heart problems and stuff. All of my physical damage ins internal in my joints. You wouldn’t know anything is wrong with me without an x-ray. I don’t have external deformities or even a funny walk (most days. I walk wonky on bad days). But my physical pain is very much real. People assume that because I can walk from the area they have me park my scooter to the front of the disability access line, I must be able to walk the park. Not the case babes 😝😘 Also making a “it’s a miracle!” joke when someone stands up from their wheelchair nEvEr gets old and ambulatory wheelchair users LoVe the attention guys 🙄 People want folks in wheelchairs to just flop onto the ground and drag themselves on their belly into the ride vehicle.

The employee told him they were with Make-A-Wish, they have a very sick child who is most likely terminal.

More than 40 years ago, I was a child at Disney World with my brother and parents. We were caught in a HEAVY downpour and had to take shelter near the exit of the Tiki Room, along with about 50 other patrons. The staff came out and told us we would have to leave; everyone laughed at them, becaus we would be wet to the bone in about 2 seconds of that rain. Eventually they worked out a way for us to change places with the guests inside, so that they came out and we went in the exit. This actually made the whole experience that much more memorable.

[@ThePirateprincess23]

I had a similar experience several days ago at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

[@danasymons1149]

One thing I've always hated is when parents try to sneak their kids onto a ride they're too short for and then get mad at the ride op/security when they call them out on it and ask them to exit. From the perspective of the other guests, it holds up the line and makes what should be a fun time completely awkward and from the staff perspective, they're being berated for enforcing basic safety protocol. But more importantly, from a parental perspective, you're putting you're child's safety at risk, just so they can do a ride. Obviously, having your child rejected for a ride they were looking forward sucks, but those height restrictions are often the absolute minimum for the ride to be safe. The fact that thee are parents that are willing to look past that, just because they don't want to deal with a little disappointment, makes me absolutely mad. Side note, this is infinitely worse if its actually the parent that wants to do the ride, and they just didn't have anyone to watch their kid, especially if the kid clearly doesn't want to do it themselves. I have unfortunately seen that before.

[@BackSeatJunkie]

As an employee of a theme park, I have actually dealt with most of these. Another thing that is annoying are the guests who climb on walls, rocks, hills, and support structures for roller coasters.

But another one to add are the guests who complain about the prices of everything.

The funny thing is that it bothers me as much as a non-smoker because I do not need somebody else smoking in my face (which is why I adhere to the rules). A fun fact perhaps is the following: I live about 30km from the Efteling and have been going there since I was a toddler. It's layout is very big (for Dutch standards bc we're a small country), and they actually refused to adhere to government ruling that smoking would not be allowed on company grounds anymore (as well as theme parks) and Efteling was hesitant because maybe people who smoke wouldn't like to go there anymore if they weren't allowed to smoke. Yet a couple weeks ago they changed their mind and posted an updated map which shows the new designated smoking areas (apart from the ones in 'sprookjesbos' which already were in place because of the kids). I think this has to do with the fact that some people never look around themselves and think of others. Speaking for myself (and probably others), I tend to move out of the way of kids (but also people in general) or, if that's not possible, at least make sure I puff my smoke toward the sky to avoid blowing it toward kids and often had parents (and other people) say they appreciated me thinking of them. In conclusion, it's just sad that people (in NL at least) disregard others when thinking of others tends to cancel out the problem. Once again, that's the experience in my country and I don't know how it is elsewhere :)

[@dianeb1984]

I went to Disneyland Paris a few years back which has designated smoking areas for smokers to use. In the US this rule would be strictly enforced, but at DLP I hardly saw anyone pulled up on it despite so many people smoking outside of these areas, mainly in Main Street. I hope things have changed since my visit.

[@dominicnieuwenhuis]

@@dianeb1984 yeah although in the southern countries of Europe there's still a much higher percentage of smokers and certain rules take a lot getting used to over there whereas NL and a few other countries more to the north of Europe have had rules in place for ages. But it's definitely annoying when they don't enforce the rules. In Germany you just get thrown out of the park if you break the rules, they are REALLY strict. You get thrown out of a park for cutting the line lol.

[@maxnum1sgameclub263]

Efteling has smoking areas ^^. So when you need that nicotine get some mouth spray or go to a smoking area ^^. But you atleast take effort to not smoke in line, thats already way more effort then 99% of teenager would do!

And yes, teenagers are annoying. Last time I went to the park the smoking areas were there and they just didn't adhere to the rules. Maybe by the time they are 25 years old they will use common sense like I do lol

[@northstarcoasters]

Going back to the cell phones, I find it annoying when someone in front of you in line is just glued to their phone and when the line moves up, you constantly have to remind them that the line is moving. I’ve also seen coaster enthusiasts complain to the ride operator checking their restraints that they’ve “stapled them” which is just downright rude and disgraceful to the community. As a former ride operator I also hated it when I told a parent a child was too short only to have the parent say that I’ve “ruined a vacation”

[@arthilas_]

To be fair, stapling can be an issue. When I was riding Zadra for the first time, I got stapled hard and the ride was nothing but painful. My following rides, where I did not get stapled, were amazing though and the coaster quickly became a new favourite for me. Yelling at employees about "stapling" is rude and disgraceful of course.

[@FryGuy909]

I can understand being pissed about being stapled, but yelling at the ride op is just a dick move. Just accept it and hope you get lucky next time. I personally had a bit of a stapling problem on Steel Vengeance

The “worst” (in those guests’ perspective) I ever did was having to rent a wheelchair for a day at Epcot, because my legs were too sore to walk much farther, and I still had to keep up with my tour group. I don’t recall any death glares from anyone, but I felt the guilt and fear that drove me back home after a tension between a tour guide and a traveler who tried to help me by pushing the wheelchair… but wasn’t allowed because he was too reckless and kept running into other guests. I felt awful for potentially causing the near incident, even though I was just trying to take care of my very sore legs.

[@wplays4271]

One of my favorite experiences at a theme park was during a ride breakdown. We were waiting at the Flying Dutchman in the Efteling (Theme park in the Netherlands (HIGHLY recommend BTW). And just as we we’re about to step in. The ride broke down. They expected it to be fixed very fast. So we got to wait in the que for the ride itself. And we were talking about the park with one of the employees while waiting. And it was really fun. Pretty much everyone who worked there loved the park. So we had some fun conversations and even took a picture. Eventually they said it couldn’t be fixed in a timely manner. So we were let out, and had to go somewhere else. Was it disappointing we had to wait? Of course. But it was still a really fun experience. It also helped that the que is so good that it could be a walkthrough attraction on its own.

I used to work at Soak City at Cedar Point, and there were a few times we had to shut down the lazy river because some kid (at least, I'm pretty sure it was a kid...) took a dump in the water.

[@ShinyRedStar-dn2yf]

I was once at a waterpark in line for a slide when I was about 11. I have autism and problems with loud noises, especially loud talking. There was a large group of 8 year old boys behind me and my sisters in line who were talking very loudly. I asked if they could please quiet down as they were making the wait very unpleasant. They did quiet down, but when we got to our turn to go down the slide, they cut in front of us saying “We deserve it as a reward for shutting up just for you.” Not only that, they went down before the lifeguard said it was ok to go. So annoying.

[@RollerCoasterBug]

I had only one reported success of someone getting removed from the park after cutting the line. If any of you are familiar with the queue line of Iron Rattler and its switchbacks, then you know how steep and tall each new switch back is from the previous. A group of teenagers climbed the switchbacks vertically, stepping on people's heads to reach their one friend in line. They would grab mine and other people's feet from below because of the height of the switchbacks under me. I notified a ride operator of the problematic teens. The ride op questioned the kids, a lot of people began to murmur from that area. When the ride op came back, he said more about how when the kids climbed on top of the other guests in line to cut, anyone who retaliated against the kids would get spat on. They were escorted out of the park by secutiry and their parents notified.

[@alexspitznaugle6387]

I went to Cedar Point last summer and was really looking forward to riding Gemini. It had an unusually long wait time because several other rides were down and the blue train wasn't running. We eventually got in line and it was pretty slow. We watched the trains go up the lift hill together and saw that the blue train stopped at the top. The red train went by as usual and ran the course. Speculation began as to why the blue train had stopped. Many people, including myself, believed it had something to do with its previous downtime. Because it was stopped on the track, the trains in the station could not launch and the red train that had finished the course could not unload. Shortly, several ride ops walked up to the top of the lift hill. After a brief discussion with the front of the train, we all saw it. An iPhone in the hands of the person in the front row. All of this confusion and frustration because someone wanted a selfie on Gemini. He was met by three security guards at the ride platform and "politely asked to leave".

[@aidanstead7272]

Similarly I really hate when parents completely ignore warnings that a ride may be scary for smaller children and just take them straight on the ride without batting an eye; and then complain about the ride when it makes their children upset. Just because your child is tall enough for a ride does not always mean the ride is suitable for that child.

They in no way can impact that, you"re just making some one else"s day worse, their people too. In addition to that, don't swear loudly when talking with employees. It doesn't get your point across any louder than your voice, but also theme parks are supposed to be family affairs, it just gets you kicked out faster.

While cutting in line is normally frowned upon, there are few exceptions. Rejoining your group after running off to the bathroom, rejoining your group after having to take an emergency phone call, and if you are going to a theme park on a hot day 🥵, rejoining your group when they get closer to the ride's entrance after you had taken a few minutes to cool down in the shade (this is something I had to do while waiting to ride Tron Lightcycle Run at Disney World for the third time last week since I was still recovering from the heat stroke I suffered the previous day and couldn't handle standing out in the direct sun during that time).

I still take issue with these "exceptions". I go to theme parks alone. If I need to do ANY of these, I lose my place in line. No questions asked. Standing in line is not COVENIENT for anyone, we are all making sacrifices to wait there. If you can't do it, wait again. If you have some disability where you can't get a disability pass. If you need water cause its hot get a water bottle and plan ahead, or lose your place. Everyone else is thirsty too and many don't have the option to go cool down. Having one person wait in line for others undermines the entire reason the rest of us are standing there.

One thing that annoys me at theme parks, is that one hefty person, who KNOWS they aren’t going to be able to get any of the restraints buckled, sit and try to do it anyway for about 5-10 minutes. Then, when they are finally removed and have to do the “fat walk of shame”, they insist that “the ride shrunk”, and that they only “put on a little weight since last time”, and that “can’t the operators make an exception for this one restraint?” As a fluffy person myself, I know my limitations. As for the rides, yes, those restraints are tight, **but they have to be, to keep people alive!!!** That’s why there’s usually a test seat at the front of the queue line, to see if you can fit the restraints.

Some parks still run certain rides in the rain. One of my fondest memories is Six Flags Great Adventure riding Great American Scream Machine in the rain and getting pelted with needle like rain drops in my face. We marathoned that ride 17 times in a row back in the day.

[@JosephJohnson-gu5fw]

Also that was 2007 and that ride doesn't exist anymore

[@kenbrown2808]

my first trip to Disneyland, it started raining while we were in line for the water ride in California Adventure. we rode 5 times in a row with no line.

[@Todd1356]

I really miss it-one of my favorite coasters.

[@alfect]

I went to Alton Towers March last year & its was moderate snowing (not heavily but the snow settled on the ground & it was noticeable), The Smiler & Nemesis in the snow is something I’ll never forgot.

My Dad used to work at Silver Dollar City and he claims things like this happened before. He claimed while he was operating Lost River (a former ride), guests came up to him and claimed At there was Human Waste all over the line, it turns out there a kid in line with his mom and the kid needed to use the restroom really bad but the mom didn’t want to leave the line, they had to shut down the ride and decontaminate the whole line, The Mom and kid were never caught.

I worked there 89-94. "Where is the hotel at?" "Why doesn't this town allow car traffic?" "Building that cave under the park was a great idea. It gives people a cool place to get in out of the summer heat." "How long did it take for you all to build the cave?" "Why did you all build this park in such a hilly area?" And because of the "woodsy" essence of the park, people seem to think they can urinate ANYWHERE. Many a time I saw a long stream of liquid rain down from up in the queue line of the Wilderness Waterboggan. People are nasty.

[@bezoticallyyours83]

That's gross

[@collinwagner1362]

You forgot to put parents who try to trick there way past the height requirement or don’t get the park equivalent of a height identification band and force the staff to do a height check. It’s literally just wasting everyone’s time.

[@WCfanboy]

That’s in the other one, but fair point

[@timothykaczmarek5871]

Parents who try to get a kid on a ride they are too small to ride, and argue with the ride operator. Or worse try to force their kid on a ride the kid CLEARLY is afraid to ride because they are crying and the ride staff doesn't want to have a frightened kid on a ride they don't want to go on. Saw this plenty of times when working at Geauga Lake Park and Cedar Point.

[@Komicklepto]

I saw that happen at Legoland Windsor once trying to get on the Jungle Coaster. There was a man at the front of the queue with his son who must have been no older than 5 and was clearly under 1.1m tall and he kept on pulling his son up onto his tiptoes insisting he was tall enough while arguing with the operator.

[@richmountain1128]

I remember my dad asking the ride operators at Six Flags Over Texas to do a height check several times spread out over many visits.

[@billclinton984]

I once got kicked off a ride because a group cut the line to reach their friends and the security sided with them

[@raymondchujr1227]

These dumb guards

[@richmountain1128]

Brutal

[@mistermarshall9542]

I work in an amusement park in Spain and sometimes the guests ask very stupid questions. The most annoying thing in my job is to tell the guests that pick a table in a restaurant I work at and start eating food that is not from the park (we have picnic areas in the park,and the big restaurants have signs that say that only food bought from the park may be consumed there,if people bring food for their young kids -around 4-5 years old,the kid can eat there) and usually they ignore me or argue with me or my superiors And the same thing happens with smokers,there are smoke-free areas but I constantly remind people that is not allowed to smoke nor vape (there is no mention of vaping in the park's rules but we consider it smoking)

[@rachaelk7866]

Lol prob the same sorta customers that ce into retail stores and like to laugh at their own jokes or think they are funny . Or somthing doesn't scan ( usually bent barcode) .. queue in 3 . 2 .. 1 "oh must be free today" 🙄🙄

[@SDragonPVP]

For someone who’s done the “don’t walk there” or “line cutting via party”, I can’t believe I didn’t have a second thought about it when I hit middle school

"Do you feel the fucking 10 feet difference? No, Orion stays a giga for us chads"

[@rockchickjude2744]

I worked at a UK Theme Park in 2004 and the question I got the most was "am I going to die like Final Destination 3" not to mention a customer screaming at me and reporting me to guest services because I wouldn't let her kid on the ride because she was too short after I refused to take a cash bribe to let her on. Also another screaming at me because we closed the fake beach due to lightning in the area telling me and my colleague they'd come all the way from Bournemouth (a seaside town) for the fake beach... They reported us of course and because of them we had to stay sheltered under a tiny umbrella in a lightning storm until the manager came and removed them.

As a character performer, I thank you for this

[@t-gre7016]

I was never a character at a park but I have done costumed characters before and still do. I also thank him.

[@princessmarlena1359]

Been costumed and face characters, had to endure all kinds of nonsense from guests. One wise apple snapped my bikini top when I was a mermaid performer at a resort.

[@cindys9491]

​@@princessmarlena1359 ugh

[@ErisIsAnAbomination]

Don’t forget people who hold up the line!! I was at Cedar Point last year waiting in line for Raptor. For context, portions of the line are underneath the catwalk that guests use to exit the ride, which leaves some shady areas. The specific day I was there, it was INSANELY hot out. There was a family of 5 who continually held up the line because they’d only stand in the shade to stay out of the sun. They’d literally let everyone ahead of them walk ahead for RIDICULOUSLY long stretches and back up everybody behind them just so they could stay in the shady areas. The line got backed up past the entrance gate and the family didn’t speak English so nobody could ask them to be respectful and keep moving. It was AWFUL.

[@TheGamingG810]

At 9:26, secondhand smoke is also harmful to non-smokers, especially while being exposed to it for extended periods.

[@Drillthejellyfish28]

One time I was at knotts berry farm and me and my brother were waiting in line for silver bullet, and we had been in the line for liek 45 minutes, then these two little girls cut the people behind us, then cut me, and the people in front of us. We were pretty upset so when we were going up the stairs, we were able to get back in front of them with the help of some of the people in the front and we were able to do it because the two girls were distracted from FaceTimeing someone. Once we were back in our place, the girls told us “Excuse me, I think you cut in front of us.” And me and my brother looked down at them and my brother told them that we were here before them.

[@alliekuma4234]

Lol the Lucky Star characters love theme parks too. People are crazy rude and act like they are the center of the universe. Some are so dumb you want to skip if they are okay when they ask something so stupid. I was asked the difference between bread and toast once when i worked at a restaurant. 😆

[@bexmccarthy4526]

I noticed them too!

[@princessmarlena1359]

10. Bonehead Questions 9. Don’t Walk There! 8. Change The Weather! 7. Rude To Characters (Thank you, a pain I know all too well) 6. Hate Before Riding 5. Smoking Wherever 4. Blaming The [Ride] Ops 3. Phones On Rides 2. Don’t $3!@ There! 1. Line Cutters Also, there’s Thieves (shoplifters and people trying to steal pieces/decorations of the attraction, one guy tried to swipe Madame Leota’s crystal ball in the Haunted Mansion), Vandals (jerks who destroy or deface the rides/attractions), and Litterbugs (especially the jerks who spit their gum for anyone else to step/sit in).

[@ejectorairtime73]

As someone who will work in Kings Island this summer, I will hopefully know how to deal with these types of guests better. Thank you!

[@amyeaton882]

Great video. I work at the front gate at a theme park, and I'm in a wheelchair. I know I'm not the only one, but there are some guests who make jokes about us or harass us more than the able-bodied people. Ableism is everywhere!
