Okay and now an ops stand point..... Yes there is training, yes we have to get people in quickly, YES we have to use flashlights to ASSIST people with finding their way through the house...... But another thing to keep in mind.... ear plug requirements!!!! Unless you are seriously shouting at them there is no way for them to know if you are stalling or in need of assistance. The houses are loud and the ear plugs save their hearing BUT even then there is sometimes too much noise to understand you saying "I couldn't find my way" or "Just get out of my way!" Even I want to stop in rooms and look around but you let 1 person stop and absorb the scenery, it can and will cause a snowball effect. How would you like to be the person who is told "sorry the line is 4 hours long and you have to walk a quarter of a mile at a slow pace because we are allowing people to take their time." Also it was mentioned before OPS gets harassed more than the scareactors, and mostly because it's the only people they can really see. I have been felt up and groped and that was working at a well lit ride!!! I understand that some people have power trips and take it too far. Go ahead and turn them in if it's way too out of line. A quick flash of the light (on the pathway) and a "stay with the group in front" is exactly what is trained. If the line stops completely and there is no cause in sight of the OPS TM is understandable for a yell. To flash a scareactor or scenery (unless you are about to walk into something you shouldn't) is unacceptable. To scream at you while you are moving with the line and/ or at a normal walking pace is unacceptable. I ask you guys to please understand that OPS does the best they can. Yes there is always an A**Hole or B**tch (I can be one myself if you get in my face) but please do not blame the whole team for doing their job or because one person is being a prick.

Here are some more photos from Designing the Fear
