The Knott's Berry Farm (KBF) Discussion Thread

[kidcoaster 2"Excuse me, miss, may I pound my large rooster into your donkey?"]

No, but I have experienced it at other parks (Exact same thing) and yes some are annoying and some are not. But it is pretty entertaining to see the Ops making fools of themselves and definatly helps pass the time.

If you saw the whole video you will see everyone was having a good time, and there is nothing wrong with Ride Operators having fun once in a while because if people at work are happy than they tend to work harder and are friendlier.

And my biggest problem with some parks is that it feels like I am in a prison with orders being thrown around Non-stop, so seeing things like this helps make my visit more enjoyable.

Have you been to Knott's and experienced this first hand? No? Thought so.

Ok, that's what I thought. I have respectfully ignored your comments on this subject then. I would recommend others to do the same, after all, this is the Knott's thread and if you haven't been to the park to experience this first hand, which is very different then what I've seen at any other park, I really see no reason to be commenting on something you don't have any experience with.

Thank you!

Exactly "fools"

Don't remember the Silver Bullet crew doing anything obnoxious while I was there during WCB, but 1. I was exhausted and delirious, and 2. it may have just been a good day for them.

Honestly, if you go to SFOG, you won't leave a single station without having been annoyed to the point of suicide while waiting. I can't even begin to imagine another park that's worse than how they are on the microphone. Not to mention the time they waste asking riders if they're ready to ride when the train is ready to dispatch.

I've never really found a Knott's crew to be like that, or the video, or anything close to either. If they have I guess I've just blocked it out, which is a probably what a lot of other guests do.

I know there wasn't any Silver Bullet trouble at WCB, and before that on my next most recent visit to KBF in January the Silver Bullet crew was having fun, but not to the point where it was annoying, and still keeping up good operations...just like how I remember Cedar Point being.

The SB crew at least during ERT was awesome. But I have been there when they've been terrible. In fact, while we were there during the West Coast Trip last August the Silver Bullet comedians were in full force.

I'm glad to hear other people also think it's annoying because I thought it was just me.

I've found that the mic people are actually funny when there isn't really a wait, but get very annoying after two or three cycles with one train running. The only time I've been annoyed by them was when they were talking about personal details over the mic, such as what they did last night (early morning on Silver Bullet, of course). Usually I don't pay much attention to them unless I'm the only one there and they actually talk to me. As long as they don't hinder operations and are not being inappropriate I'm not bothered by them.

And yes, the Silver Bullet crew was awesome during ERT at WCB.

I know you guys are having a heated duscussion about the ride ops at the park. But did anything Xciting happen this weekend?

[Skycoastin SteveFive babies drowned in a fire]

^Don't use the "X" spelling of exciting! Every time you do, a kitten gets thrown into a wood chipper, a bus full of nuns careens off a cliff, and a panda bear eats a midget! IT'S THAT SERIOUS OF A PROBLEM!!!!
