Snapped this beauty today. Yes, that is a cutoff T-shirt. Yes, he was manhandling TWO cannons and he was soaking people. Nora and I watched until his endless complaining about empty boats annoyed me
Blasters are the main reason I avoid riding Pompeii anymore, but even when I'm not riding it, I always have to stop and just take in how good looking a ride it is. That is just a well designed ride building and area, even with a sundial.
I know I am a giving a minority view here but for me the blasters are part of the fun of the ride. Part of the trill of a water is not knowing how wet you will get mildly damp or soaked. I love the blasters no matter which side of them I am on.
The problem is,its present-day BGW,eventually,the people making decisions will be gone,and new people will step forward.Hell,im going to college for business and theater and entertainment to try and become a exec there...IMO id look on here for ideas and new things to do.
Jacques, it is not as simple as going to college and getting a job. I'm not sure if you noticed but instead of hiring new people for positions, they like to move executives around to different departments and parks all the time. There have been very few occasions on which they have hired for new people.
I refer to my thread "Executive Shuffle" for evidence.
If anyone was in the park yesterday near Escape from Pompeii around 5 o'clock, There was a man standing for an hour on the water platform, Every time a boat passed he would get soaked, Just stood there and gotten soaked. He was the only person on that platform getting DRENCHED in water. People stood all around and watched him get wet. then walked away wringing out his grey jacket and shirt, He was shaking walking away it was Hilarious!
Some of the water blasters seemed to have lower pressure than others. Specifically 5 and 7 at least. It is so disappointing to expect to splash some people and you end up watering the side of the boat.
Some of the water blaster's had black duct tape over them... while everyone else was using the working one's I ripped the tape off and put in all of my quarter's and I blasted I think 23 boats, with no problem.
