January 22, 200521 yr Considering every ride I have ridden, I have either been stapled, or had to resist being stapled, most for general safety, however, some for cruelty. I have ridden some good wood and thought differently about the same ride from staple - non-staple... This affects the ride for the guest. How do you feel about Stapling? ...under certain conditions...
January 22, 200521 yr Author If I were a ride operator, I wouldnt like the torment you go through... yelling and bickering over crap... the operator knows best! Staple the rude b*st*rd
January 22, 200521 yr I would probably only staple people I knew and could joke around with. Even if an ACEr was being cocky - I probably wouldn't staple them cause they could complain to GR or something. Plus, I am sure that they get plenty of staplings from other ride ops. So I would probably cut them some slack.
January 22, 200521 yr Only people I know, and only that I know REALLY well, cause it's not all that fun.
January 22, 200521 yr It was a tradition on FoF that if someone of FoF crew rode their ride, they got stapled. I'm not even on that crew anymore and they still try to staple me cause I was on the crew a year, lol. It's all in good fun though. As for my stapling procedure, I picked the first one. I only staple people if it's a good friend of mine. I would never intentially staple a stranger because they were annoying. Yes Don, that means I would never staple you.
January 22, 200521 yr It was a tradition on FoF that if someone of FoF crew rode their ride, they got stapled. Thats pretty much how it is on any crew, staple yor crew members.
January 22, 200521 yr Yes, but on FoF more than most crews. Beast does it every once in awhile, but not nearly as much.
January 22, 200521 yr Well, I'm not annoying anyway so no need for me to worry You sure about that? I have been watching these boards for a long time and you are more annoying than Anna Nicole Smith on those Trim Spa commercials. WANT MY BODY?
January 22, 200521 yr As a former PKI ride op, I only stapled people who were being stupid, by not pulling there bars down far enough.
January 22, 200521 yr Is it possible to prevent yourself from being stapled? I mean if you push hard enough, you can staple anybody can't you?
January 22, 200521 yr I could prevent myself from being stapled on TRTR just have to push up against the harness more than the restraint checker, alienseed is another story though, its jsut the way the harness clicks you cant get anouther click on him.
January 22, 200521 yr Look at my personal photo. The laws of physics says I should be stapled extremely easily, especially since I don't put the restraints really tight. I have a special way of avoiding stapling on every ride in the park (it's different for each ride). Yeah, no one can figure out how I do it either, since I just put my arms up, relax, and let them try their best. Only one person has ever caught me off guard at FOF.
January 22, 200521 yr Come over and ride Vortex next season when I'm working! Let me have a go at it!
January 22, 200521 yr No comment what so ever, but i would be willing to bet i have done all of the above
January 28, 200521 yr Only people I know, and only that I know REALLY well, cause it's not all that fun. How do you staple someone on Tower/Carousel? Make the doors close too soon? I only staple punk teenagers that get on my nerves, or people that I dislike. Or people that do stupid things.
January 28, 200521 yr Vortex is too easy to avoid stapling, just lean forward into it. Not with me buddy. I just let you. Flight of Fear is a good ride to get stapled on.
January 28, 200521 yr FoF hurts like a and is no fun what so ever when you get stapled, you just want the ride to end
January 30, 200521 yr I remember stapling someone at FOF, and they were cussing up a storm. He deserved it anyways. It was someone from The Racer crew we all hated.
