In Space No One Can Hear You...sob

With the recent success of GRAVITY, it reminded me of the time when having to evacuate Space Mountain that I approached a woman in her mid-40s, bawling. She was truly petrified that she'd be "stuck in space."

This story has been around as an urban legend but I was working in the area the day it happened. Two larger women wanted to ride Space Mountain and sometimes when handicapped or larger guests ride an attraction it takes a little longer to load them into the ride vehicle.

This particular day two larger women were loaded in the train causing a ride stop due to taking too long to get them situated. Once they were in and on their way they made it to the lift hill inside the ride. As they crest the lift hill a Cast Member in the tower announced "Piiiiigs Iiiiiiin Spaaaaace" in true Muppets fashion. I think it was a college program Cast Member that did not care and was about to quit. Needless to say he was terminated.

This Ride May Hurt Your Unborn Hamburger

I was working at Space Mountain De la Terre à la Lune at Disneyland Paris. At this particular time I was positioned at "load" sorting guests into specific groups and lines.  

SIDEBAR - Even though Disneyland Paris is located in France, most Cast Members speak English or 1,000 other different languages.

While sorting guests into their proper load queue, I noticed that one lady was pulled from the main line off to the side. This only usually happens if there is a problem and they are not allowed to ride. The Cast Member was explaining in great detail to the guest how this was a roller coaster and that it is very unsafe for a pregnant woman to ride.

The Cast Member did an excellent job explaining how not only could she be injured but also the unborn child. The woman listened and with one simply sentence replied "...but I am not pregnant."

I then went to break.
