Thanks to all who tolerated my "venting" over the last three days! I made some critical and almost harsh comments, and I hope you will forgive me if I got too critical. I still love the place, maybe that's why I vented so much. SDC is a wonderful place, as you all know. Junior is ready to move back into his "happy place!" Thanks, ya'll! Whew, it has been great therapy for me!

Hey Junior, I feel the same way about the beating that I feel like I gave MM on a few other threads.  One would think that I'm not a very centered or happy person after reading some of them, but I feel the exact same way you do.  I think everything changes when you have been going since you were in the womb and have worked there.  So I'd like to piggy back on all that you have said and hang ten on your plea above as well.

Maybe we can get them to theme the fans they use in the restrooms!

HA!

Then there are the plastic cooler drink dispenser at ride operator stations - how 'bout a quick paint job on them too?

[Junior]

Those plastic cooler drink dispensers have been around a long time...going back to my day. We would fill the coolers up with ice water or with a Gatoraid type drink, but we would cover the cooler in burlap and carry it into a break room where it was not in view of guests. That did the trick.

I am no artist....wait yes I am...and I see a simple fix for those coolers to turn them from a bright orange dispenser into a faux wood tree stump. I think it would be an easy fix...some insulation foam molded and shaped to appear like bark, a few shades of some brown paint, and a bit of airbrushing would do the trick and wa'la...Ozark Stump Water fir the citizens.

Good idea...now if you could get a bunch of employees from their mid teens to mid 30s or 40s to not bang around and mistreat the "stump" so it does not fall apart after about a dozen uses. Good luck! I remember we used to all be very rough in our treatment of things...heck, I completely crashed and ruined diving bell capsules at least half a dozen to a dozen times a day!

[rubedugans]

Very true! I know how worn and abused the items in my class/ school get just after a few weeks.SO you are the one that kept crashing the capsule into the rocks allowing water to spill in....and allowing Eli Tolts to get away with the treasure... Needless to say my point was I could make a jug look like a stump, quickly and easily, that was the first thought I had. There are many other solutions to this issue that would just involve a bit of work.

No plastic fan in the restaurant.
However there is a metal one on a stand.  I did check the manufacturers info on the plate of the fan and it said made in 2009.
I immediately sounded a compressed air football siren in the restaurant followed with a very stern and loud announcement that I was from the SDCFANS Forum and wanted to see a manager, ' THIS FAN IS NOT IN THEME'!!!!!

You all would have been so proud of me, I blew that siren the whole time they were physically taking me to the front gate......
