Seriously though, Keenan has some amazing talent that I hope propels him to the top in whatever he decides to do. In the mean time, we have one of the greatest ops ever at El Toro!

Yes, I'm quite aware of that. I said that (a) as a joke because he said he didn't want to and (b) because I would love to have an operator like that at Rolling Thunder. Actually, I'd love to have someone like that at all of the rides. :-)

Post by: sfgadvfreak on July 22, 2006, 02:53:52 PM: Keenan A.K.A. Black-op

He is such a funny guy and has such a fun time involving everyone in the station. He makes any situation funny and is one of the best ops in the park.

I loved how he just read the speil off a sheet of paper like it was script and hes never done it before... :lol:

Post by: WadeJ on July 26, 2006, 02:49:48 PM: Basically, the same thing as baby swapping at Disney so that someone with a infant can wait while the other rides and then swap places. In theory, this isn't considered line cutting because at least one of you needs to wait in the regular line OR they will might ask you to return up the exit ramp after a certain period of time that "should" equal the real queue.

We've actually used this at Disney quite often for certain attractions and it works fairly well.

Great Video
I like the part where Keenan is screaming like a girl on his solo ride.
The music is frantic
good work Bri

Post by: twisterbret on July 27, 2006, 01:11:08 PM: I wondering if they did a baby swap at GA. Do you need to set something up at Guest Relations or someone just goes up the exit and lets them know? I have another baby on the way due Feb 7th. My poor wife was so looking forward to Riding El Toro but had to skip out till next year.

Post by: WadeJ on July 27, 2006, 01:38:36 PM: Just go to GR before you enter the park (or visit the window inside the park if the line is shorter!) and grab a parent pass. You will need this before attempting to do the swap.

Congrats on the new addition!

You are very good at your job and quite entertaining. I hope you get a copy of the letter I wrote about you. By the way, 27 times on El Toro today. Take care.
