List all the things that you have seen, crazy and unusual in the Roaring Rapids pond area. This can be past, or present. I saw a women's tampon in there last year. :lol: I don't know if it was used or not. :lol:

Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.

Its more fun to say what you've found in the pond under V2. When it stops you at the top, you loose quite a bit.

I know i've lost some pins because the harness unsnapped them and fell off of my jacket.

But i've seen dozens of cell phones, wallets, watches, cash, etc.
What you don't understand you can make mean anything.

You'd be suprised by the number of things that get lost on rides you wouldn't think people would loose anything. During morning inspections I frequently find cell phones / hats etc. on something a little less obvious such as Ragin' Cajun' or ones that are really odd such as East River Crawler. Those seats eat things right out of your pockets.

If you think there's drivers liscenses in there, you could also be seeing School IDs. My Jr. High took the end of the year trip to SFGAm, and I threw my ID in there, along with 250 other kids. And that happens every year.

What ride do you work?? :? Geesh. You are there early. Does everyone have to get there early like you?? What time do the mechanics start working?
