Celebrity Park Guests

"A tout le monde, a tous mes amis, Je vous aime, Je dois partir. these are the last words I'll ever speak, and they'll set me free" -Megadeth, 1983-2002
Well, lets see, working at CP I saw quite a few celebs....Macy Gray, Rob Lowe, many Cleveland Indians players, a couple college b-ball players, a WWF star i didn't know (i dont' watch wrestling ever)
But my most memorable celeb encounter was at SFMM on gay day........ We stood in line for Batman with Alan Cummings (Frankezoid in Romy & Michelle's HS Reunion, newest version of Annie, Titus (the movie), Emcee in Cabaret on the broadway cast). He was right in front of us in line, and one member of our group chatted briefly with him. He turned up in line for the Viper right behind us as well. It was very cool.

While working at IOA:
I saw Lenny Kravits eating a hot dog
I scared Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, and some famous basket ball players while working in the haunted maze "RUN"
and while strapping them into the Pteranodon Flyers, I briefly spoke to skate legend Tony Hawk, one of the kids on "Malcom in the Middle"(I forget the name), and the nice little man who played young Grinch in "How the Grinch stole Christmas" and played the living doll in the not-so-famouse soap "Passions".
I'm sure there were more that I didn't reconize.

"If you can't do it, don't even knock it" COINMONSTER Lucky you,what I would give to scare Britney Spears hehe, I went to Her concert and she kelpt scaring me with those fireworks and exsplosions on stage so it would have been great for some pay back...,but it was a good show cant wait to see her perfrom again, but on a seprate note i dont see why any "stars" wont wait in the normal lines, I mean they are normal people, and if I was them I would need to do things the normal way to stay sane!,So it wouldent shock me to see some celbraties in line,but when they put on all the goffy hats and glasses you know its them,I spot them out 80% of the time.

When I worked Beast at PKI a few popped by for a ride. Britney Spears, John Ritter, Montel Williams, several soap opera fellas (sorry, don't know which ones, just recall the security and tons of girls screaming.) as well as several Christian Music artists.
More came by, but typically they are ushered on and off so quickly you barely have time to see them. Back access roads are used, the rides are called ahead of time and a seat is reserved. The celebrity walks up a back access stair onto the train, rides, then hops right off. When Britney, and also when John Ritter rode, no guest ever knew it was them. They wore ball caps and sunglasses. We ride ops were told ahead of time they were coming and not to let the cat out of the bag.
Not that it was that big of a deal. None were my pick of celebrities I would like to meet.
Typically if there is a concert at the park, the celebrities performing that concert will crop up on rides mid-to-late afternoon.

Back in the early 80s at SFMM, I saw Sylvester Stallone, his then wife (Brigitte Nelson.. sp?), Bruce Willis and Elton John - they were all rolling together with about 20 bodyguards. They shut down Shockwave (or whatever the standup was named at that time) while we were in line for them to ride. I had also seen them earlier in the park.
I saw Weird Al Yankovic at PKD two years ago. He was performing that night at the park. When we were in line for Volcano, he came in the exit with a few other people, and they let him ride twice around in the front seat.

In 1991 I waited in line with Cris Collinsworth to get my season pass at PKI. So that's proof that celebs do stand in line.
Anyway, I shook his hand and talked to him for a minute. Nice guy.
Also talked to psuedo-celebrity members of the country boy band Marshall Dyllon before and after they played at PKI last summer. But only because I am friends with a member of the band. Unfortunately the band broke up after thier first CD, which for country music was actually quite good. I still listen to it.

I saw Sandy Alomar on my senior trip to Disneyworld. We were in line for Rock -n- Rollercaoster. That guy is huge and his women is mighy fine. Side note Shag came to my Spencers Gifts and bought the big Tales from the Crypt doll.

I remember seeing this picture a couple years ago, and it matches the park. It's Weird Al at PKD.

How many women did he have? Seriously though, way back in the early 90's I was an extra on the New Mickey Mouse Club and I saw Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. Of course, I couldn't give a rats ____ who they were then and I don't care much more now. And, no fellas, the mountains had not been built yet.
