man! ppl come to fright fest and get all pissy about stupid stuff. ppl like that shouldnt b there

[twinzombie]

great now im all worked up

[Beef]

Yesterday when I went through you were behind the fence by the Institute for the Demented area and wouldn't come out Some girl was taunting you though "Make noise with your shovel.. Do something" Even I was about to smack them!

Yeah. I always love that. "Do something...Scare her...Shove him in the water!!" Our stock line with the Trolls is: "We don't do requests." We also take orders very badly. "Come here, do that, go there." No. The quickest way to cheese off a troll (besides hitting one) is to tell him or her to do something. "Stand right there. Come over here. You HAVE to take a picture with me." Oh, really? Well, I've got news for ya, pal. I don't HAVE to do SQUAT. TELLING us to do something is a guaranteed way to get us to do exactly the opposite. We'll go out of our way NOT to do it if you try to TELL us to. We're nasty like that.

Yeasterday i had a bad experience in necro idont know if the guy was trying to be scary or not but if he was he just pissed me off ok...

And we were watching then because they where scarying people pretty bad and i found it pretty funny. Then they guy with the pinned on mouth comes up to us and like like WALK!!! so we didnt because we didnt want to then he goes come here then he starts walking so we followed him and hes like thanks. Then he started walking back and hes like if you come back things will get ugly.

Sorry to say it, buddy...But you're part of the problem. The fact that you "found it pretty funny" as long as it was happening to someone else, but got all kinds of uptight when it was your turn makes you a "problem guest". We dread having to deal with people who can't take a joke.

I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll have to again...It ain't "Happy Cuddly Fun Fest", folks. It's "Fright Fest". The Creature Crew are paid to be frightening, menacing, and shocking. And if you complain to guest relations every time you're frightened, menaced, or shocked, you're really just wasting everyone's time. Once again....If you don't like it...Don't come. And if it's "pretty funny" only when it's happening to someone else, then you likely need an attitude adjustment.

I can't tell you how many times a day it happens: We trolls are doing our "Insult Comic" schtick on the bridge, cutting on one person mercilessly, and drawing a crowd. Then, when we get tired of picking on one target, and turn our attention to someone who's been standing there laughing the whole time, they get all taken aback. "What're YOU laughing at, Fido? What time's curfew at the kennel, pooch?" THEN, suddenly, it ain't so funny....Except to everyone else. Loosen up. As the great Mel Brooks once said..."Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when YOU walk into an open sewer and die." Look up "schadenfreude" in the dictionary.

So i was pretty pissed wanted to tell guest relations but didnt because i didnt no if he was trying to be scary or not.

Yes. He was. And if he ruffled your feathers effectively, he was doing a good job of it, too.

Here's a good example: On Sunday, Filth the Troll got off one of the funniest lines I've ever heard on some deserving moron. First of all, a dozen times a day we get ignorant idiots screaming "Hey, are you from Lord of the Rings? Hur, hur!" They pull this re-re crapola not only because they're too stupid to read the "ILLINOIS TROLLWAY" sign, but also because their shallow brains can't conceive of any pop culture older than 15 minutes. Bloody ADHD-addled Ritalin-babies. Anyway...

So this tubby late-40's dude comes up to Filth and me, and thinks he's being all original and clever when he says "Guess there wasn't much left for you guys after 'Lord of the Rings', huh?" And without missing a beat, Filth comes back with, "Yeah. Kinda like how there's nothing left for the guy behind you in the buffet line."

The dude got all red-faced and started sputtering. He must've walked away at some point, but I missed it because I was too busy doubled over laughing. I mean, we have our stock lines that we keep in reserve...Because by now, there's not a dorky line we haven't heard a thousand times, but that was GOOD, and I gotta give him props for it.

There's just nothing like sitting there and watching a troll like Kadunk really go to town and back on some wannbee-smartarse kid who thinks he's got game. He'll dress 'em down comeback for comeback until they get tired and leave. He never loses. Granted, nobody's ever much of a challenge, but still.

However, if you're gonna stand there and check out the show, just be prepared to possibly become part of it. And If you're a special, delicate flower who'll curl up into a ball and start crying if some big, meanie troll dares to make fun of your stupid, trendy hair-don't or your ridiculous fashion sense, then do everyone a favor, and take the long walk through Southwest rather than cross the troll bridge. Because we will shred you mercilessly.

[kadunkadunk]

beef, i love you. thank you for the compliment. i never do lose do i? i did lose a staring contest sunday actually i threw it, because it was takin too long, like 10 minutes straight without a blink, but the kid didnt realize that his prize for winning was a used ticket stub that he is gonna use this weekend so i win anyways.

and to everyone else complaining about how someone insulted them, scared them, made their girlfriend pee herself, whatever the case may be, WOULD YOU LIKE SOME CHEESE WITH YER WHINE? grow up. like i sed before, if fright fest is a bit too much for one to handle, knowing exactly what goes on there, maybe you should try the frozen food section at your local supermarket. maybe it would be more your speed. after all, ive never felt threatened by a bag of frozen carrots, but the peas, they are a whole different story, so watch out. and please submit any complaints to the mananger asap. we cant have unruly frozen veggies terrorizing the general public now can we?

[tafaba]

He is just doing what he is supposed to. He is just trying to get you to move on, that is what we are supposed to do. It is not intended to get you pissed off. This is why us characters have a hard time in the park, because people take this too seriously. You come into Necro like you own the place. Let the characters do what they are being paid to do. Relax, it we are all just there to have fun and entertain. Believe me, no one is trying to start a fight or purposely piss someone off.
It's cool if you hang out for a while but if you hang out then bother the character too much, his/her job is to get you to move on.

Enjoy the park.

Yeasterday i had a bad experience in necro idont know if the guy was trying to be scary or not but if he was he just pissed me off ok. At the begining in the institute for the demented there was this guy with a pinned on mouth and that girl with re in her brades or whatever.

And we were watching then because they where scarying people pretty bad and i found it pretty funny. Then they guy with the pinned on mouth comes up to us and like like WALK!!! so we didnt because we didnt want to then he goes come here then he starts walking so we followed him and hes like thanks. Then he started walking back and hes like if you come back things will get ugly.

So i was pretty pissed wanted to tell guest relations but didnt because i didnt no if he was trying to be scary or not.

[Ruk]

And remember: Fright Fest trolls pre-date Lord of the Rings movies by about 10 years...

Also, there is very likely no insult or taunt that characters in the park have not already heard from guests who want to dish it out. If you want to start something, and it isn't orignal, just forget about it.

Come to the park to see the park and see the characters, not to confront them. We are there to be experienced, not fought. I've never heard of guests picking bar brawls with the knights at ren fairs, or throwing anvils at giant plush coyotes, so why start crap with us.

Remember, if we say it in character, its what you helped pay for us to do. If you don't enjoy that kind of entertainment, change the channel. There are plenty of other places to go in October, and plenty of time to see the park in the summer before we get there.

Punkbunny, thanks for stopping by...

Ruk

[punkbunny24242]

My pleasure.. I'll be back this Saturday also

Tafaba's right. Part of the reason why there's often a queue to get into Necropolis is because people get in there and then just stand around. Necropolis is a good-sized area, but it's mean to be strolled through, not entered and stood around in. That kind of thing creates major bottlenecks. With the exception of the Sideshow and the Mausoleum, people really should keep the "hanging around" in Necropolis to a minimum. I mean, have a good time obviously, but think of it like a nice restaurant. Come in and check it out, but move along to something else before too long so other people can come in and enjoy it, too.

beef, i love you. thank you for the compliment.

Right back at'cha, bro. We've been doing this for waaay too long. And a big part of the reason why I come back is because of the other trolls. You cats are way good at what ya do, and I have just as much fun watching you work as I do working myself.

i never do lose do i? i did lose a staring contest sunday Crying or Very sad actually i threw it, because it was takin too long, like 10 minutes straight without a blink, but the kid didnt realize that his prize for winning was a used ticket stub that he is gonna use this weekend Twisted Evil so i win anyways.

Wait 'til he tries to get in with that ticket. Bwah-ha-ha! Loser. I wish I could be there to see that.

and to everyone else complaining about how someone insulted them, scared them, made their girlfriend pee herself, whatever the case may be, WOULD YOU LIKE SOME CHEESE WITH YER WHINE? grow up.

Amen and ditto. I'm STILL amazed by this. When people say, "Hey, back off. She's really scared", they just don't realize they're telling me not to do my job.

Here's a good one: On Saturday, there were these three little girls...Maybe 9 or 10. They hung out on the bridge for, no kidding, a good solid half-hour. Every time I turned around, they'd be there, sticking their tongues out at me. I'd take a step towards them, and they'd scatter and run. Thirty seconds later, there they'd be again, throwing pebbles at me. "BOO!" Scatter. Then I'd turn around and there they were AGAIN. "You're not scary!" One step, and zoom. You cannot BELIEVE how insidiously annoying this is. It's like having something stuck in your teeth, and not having any floss handy.

There were three of us working the bridge at that point...me, Ruk, and Filth. Splenge and Kadunk were on lunch. And the three of us were all just rolling our eyes constantly.

Then, I saw our opportunity...The little girls temporarily forgot about us for a second, and ran into the Turbo Bungy / Jacob's Ladder area just off the bridge. This area is round, but it's got a really small gateway into it that's the only way in or out. If we acted quickly, we could corner the little brats and teach 'em a lesson.

I ran to cover the gate, and then I waved for Ruk and Filth to come start closing in. It was beautiful...These kids looked at us slowly advancing, and tried to run again. But they soon realized they were completely screwed. There was nowhere for them to go. We surrounded them and penned them in. They eventually wound up jumping a short black fence into one of the small fenced-in areas, huddled together around a bunch of cornstalks tied to a lightpost. THEN...Just as they were looking for holes to run away through, Kadunk and Splenge came off lunch break, hurdled the fence, and joined us. Now, if these kids thought they were creeped by THREE trolls...FIVE was JUST TOO MANY. They were completely surrounded. They started really flipping out...Shivering and crying. Most people would've felt bad...But to us, it was like finally finding that dental floss.

I started tapping on the fence with my club and leaning in really close. Eventually, I said, "Now...I'm gonna close my eyes and count to ten. And when I do, I want you to run. Run very fast. Run away, and don't come back." A few of the others started snarling to really drive the point home.

I closed my eyes. I counted. They ran. When I got to about "four", I opened my eyes, yelled "FIVESIXSEVENEIGHTNINETEN!" and peeled off after them. They screamed, and kicked it into overdrive. We didn't see them again for the rest of the day.

Now, some would call this cruel, or excessive. These are the people who SHOULDN'T COME TO FRIGHT FEST. Yes, we were picking on some little girls, but they were absorbing WAY too much of our time...Time we need to be spending entertaining everyone. So, we dealt with the problem the way we had to...By scaring them. It's what we DO.

And hey, even the two park employees working the Jacob's ladder watched us and said, "Hey, don't feel bad. Those three had it coming and then some."

like i sed before, if fright fest is a bit too much for one to handle, knowing exactly what goes on there, maybe you should try the frozen food section at your local supermarket. maybe it would be more your speed. after all, ive never felt threatened by a bag of frozen carrots, but the peas, they are a whole different story, so watch out.

He's not kidding. Peas give me nightmares. *(Shudder)*.

[punkbunny24242]

I'm sorry that is just too freaking funny See this is why I love you guys coming on here!! To share these stories with us. I appriciate it. It brightens my day here at work.

[Beef]

:lol: I'm sorry that is just too freaking funny See this is why I love you guys coming on here!! To share these stories with us. I appriciate it. It brightens my day here at work.

Glad to be of service, PunkBunny. Sorry I missed you this weekend, I hope not to next weekend.

[punkbunny24242]

I'll defnitley be by this weekend.. trolls are my nephews favorite

[tafaba]

I love that story Beef, that is awesome.

[Binks Drake]

necrocheer04: I have a pic of a woman standing by the institute for the demented on my photo web site, is that you? (Check 10-17-04 on the WWW icon V).

All you trolls and other characters should check out my site too, i've gotten tons of Creature photos including necro guys. I have all five trolls i know, and got a guy with a shovel in Necro. I haven't seen you twin guys yet, i saw Tafaba from the train.

[Stardblk84]

punkbunny, next time u go, come say hi to me

why r u cheating on me...

i'm do sad now..


i get no lovein'

[Ruk]

If we do sacrifice agian this weekend, it will be around 3pm Saturday and Sunday. I'd like to see pictures people take of that. Like Woodland saw, its moved back a bit, more towared the Schoolhouse and Deja Vu pylon.

If you have pics of 5 trolls, then you have all of us this year.

We got pulled to level 2 on Saturday a lot. Once while I was over the fence, I was sitting very still. I was watching the crowds go by. One lady was strolling and staring. All I did was wave at her, and she jumped 3 feet in the air screaming: "oh, its alive!".

In the rain on Friday, I dragged out my umbrella. 4 girls crept under it to stay dry, after asking if they could. After I asked them their names, I growled and scared them off in different directions. Now that was funny.

[punkbunny24242]

3pm Saturday? I'll be there! I haven't seen a sacrifice yet this season Where have I been? I've only been there almost everyday!!!

[Jamesb58]

I love FrightFest. Especially seeing people get the crap scared out of them. People shouldn't take it personally! People do need to learn that
this is all for fun!

I'm not one that gets scared! I was in Nacropolis for most of the day
on Saturday taking photos, and not once did any of you guys scare
me! I guess I'm not one to get scared easily! Come on, I fall asleep
watching horror movies.

Some of you guys probably saw me ALOT on Saturday in Nacro. I had a
Black coat, Red Hoodie, Black Pants, Glasses and a Goatee. I was also
with my bestfriend who was wearing a blue hoodie and was taking the
photos.

We even shared a Nacho with the guy wearing the skull mask. We took
some great photos of you guys! But, back to the topic, I would have
so much fun doing what you guys do. I would find the best place to hide
and then WHAM! Scare the crap out of someone! I would die laughing.
Maybe I'm a little evil, but who cares! It's all for fun!

[Binks Drake]

Okay, i just read through some stuff i didn't before. And i'm sort of on Linebackers side. I realize you guys are supposed to be scary but you took his comment the wrong way. The characters sounds like he wasn't trying to be scary, he was getting annoyed at linebacker and took his anger out on him. And in case you didn't notice he didn't say "all Characters are stupid" which is how you are responding to him. He said he had a bad run in with ONE character in Necro, and it happens. Not are characters are great at thier job. (You guys are, Tafaba scared the crap out of me the other day, and I love you trolls. So get over it.

[NecropolisGD]

What? Are you sayi8ng were doing a bad job? I work my butt off out there come home with sore neese that i cant even walk on I go to school with legs that i llook like im crippaled or something and you people say were doing a bad job When i said WALK I wanted you guys to move on keep gogin throw necro you guys sometimes dont listen and you sit there and laugh at what i say and i get tiered i dont get many breaks through the day so i am cranky and i get hit punched kicked and you guys keep complaining.. if you dont like it fly to another six flags park and telll if its better Thank you and enjoy the rest of your day

[tafaba]

This really isnt a big deal...I can assure you that the grave digger in question does a great job out there, I am very impressed by what he does.

Some people get offended when they get scared or told to get lost. It is all in fun. He got his feelings hurt because a character told him to leave in a mean way.

If you see how he scares people you would never say that he isnt very good at what he does.

I have told people, mostly kids cause they wont leave and follow you all around, to get out of my area. They dont like me saying that? Then get ou...simple as that.

And Binks, I am really glad that I scared you, that's what I love to do. Well, that and making people laugh. Depends on the mood and the time of day.

One more thing...I would rather have a character tell me to get lost than a lead or security telling me that. Just a thought.

[twinzombie]

i hate it when ppl say, "ok man thats enough, she's really scared." and then they try to play hero by not letting u by. then they say somthin like, "back off." and i reply, "wut r u gonna do if i dont?" and they say, "i'll kick ur ass." the i say, "go on, take a swing, i dare u. u c there r two of us to defend me and i would love to c the look on ur face when u get arrested."

the part i love is because this big macho guy cant do jack to me

[coasterdude12]

I don't think Forum Rules allow the use of "the a word" in forum topics

[necrocheer04]

yeah thats me in those pics.

[linebacker131]

ok u guys dont get it i guess so just end it he wasnt trying to be scary or it didnt seam like it.

If you do anything like what you just said, you definitely deserve to get hit. That's just stupid to egg someone on like you supposedly do what you just said, then you get hit, and you totally blame it on them. It's your fault in the first place he hit you. I mean scare them, that is totally fine, it's what you are paid to do, but then when you tell them to try and punch you, and they do, it definitely shouldn't be their fault entirely.
