Subsonic Radio

It had been mentioned in another thread, over in the Walt Disney World thread in fact, that perhaps we should have a place to discuss weird and/or odd things that happens at the parks. Excellent idea
Perhaps Soarin' or someone else can fill us in on the lady who went a little berserk in the Everest queue...

Can't wait to read this thread.....or can I?

I'll fill you in after work tonight. It was a sight to see!

Ooh, I'm so curious to hear now!

I was in the singles line like right at the head of the line and suddenly the CMs just halted, this woman was cursing and SCREAMING at the cast because she didn't get the exact row that she wanted (she wanted front but the park was slammed that day so the CMs were having to unfortunately just load in order to move through the line quickly). She had a preteen girl with her and I swear the poor thing looked like she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her right there on the spot. There were two managers trying to reason with her and even offer perks and such to her to make up, trying to explain how busy things were that day (this was Easter weekend) and how they did their best but couldn't always accommodate everyone, and next thing we all knew, someone radios in security and they come in, one on either side, and bodily escort the psycho out with the poor daughter just following along like "Oh please dear Lord, why me?" It was partially funny but then downright sad, because if that's people's attitudes to Disney, they need to stay home. Disney isn't a free-for-all who can INSTANTLY cater ALL whims and fancies, much as we try.

Oh my. Sounds like a difficult situation. Hopefully the poor women was just affected by the crowds and wasn't having some sort of breakdown. Her poor kid too

Or maybe the heat got to her I'm glad that they handled the situation the way they did.

Some people are like that for some reason. A guy flipped out at the nice old lady who worked at the nursery when she asked "Credit or debit" when the guy swiped hit card.

I feel a little sorry for people like that, because they must be really miserable. However, they created their circumstances for themselves, and as grownups we do have the ability and resources to overcome our history and improve ourselves. That poor young lady with her mom,though, she's one I really feel sorry for.

Yeah, I can only hope that the girl sees how terrible her mother was acting and how it was affecting others so she will not do the same when she gets older. It sounds like she was embarrassed enough that she probably won't. but I do feel awful for her, and how embarrassed she must have been.

Friends were in EPCOT last Saturday and saw QUITE the commotion around Mexico and Norway. Turns out a guy was arrested for allegedly kicking his son in the face. Guy was Italian. Here's a link to an article but doesn't really offer much information. http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/201 ... ounty-jail

Oh my ~ that's horrible! I would hope it was an accident, but that fact that he was arrested probably means it wasn't

So sad to hear about this. Sure hope the kid is okay.

The hubby mentioned this the other day. I heard the boy was only 3!!! I can't imagine what a three-year-old is capable of doing or saying that would result in such a strong reaction from a parent. My children weren't angels, and they made me pretty mad sometimes, but sheesh! Let's hope this is the start of that parent (adult?) turning this around.

If I recall, it wasn't what the kid was doing, it was the wife that he was reacting poorly to.
