Ride Operator's 'Savage' Send Offs Are Giving People 'Trust Issues'

A theme park ride operator has been caught savagely pranking visitors.

Ladies, if there was ever a man to steer clear of out of fear of him giving you trust issues then this operator is probably one of them.

If you choose to hop on the Full Throttle at the Six Flags Magic Mountain resort in Southern California, you will be sent screaming into the distance, never to be seen again.

However, to give him his dues, this operator has left TikTokers in stitches with his funny false starts and jokes as he goes well beyond his pay grade to give visitors the best ride.

Check it out:

The video, shared by The Theme Parkettes, shows an operator who the account claims is called @_jose_avina on Instagram taking his job to the very next level.

While his job description may simply consist of waiting safely until everyone is onboard the ride, tucked in, and then pulling a lever, this operator definitely deserves a pay rise.

From counting down from three to not even set the visitors off on their ride, to telling the riders to 'repeat after' him before screaming 'Ah,' passers-by can be seen watching on in amusement, chuckling in the background.

The post has since amassed over 30 million views, seven million likes, and 25,000 comments, as users have flocked to the video in support of the operator. One said: 'He deserve a raise frfr because he actually enjoys his job and makes it entertaining.'

Another wrote: 'next he should say " has anyone seen final destination?"'

A third commented: 'THIS GUY IS ONE OF THE REASONS I LOVE SFMM EVERY TIME I GO TO CALI'

And the pranks don't stop there. Proving that TikTok really is the place to find some inspiration for your next practical joke or scare, a girl left users completely freaked out by her slithery serpent scheme.

A woman also went viral for her rock, paper, scissors prank which she pulled on a group of unsuspecting boys. They may have seemed confident that they were in with the chance of getting a free pint, but little did they know what India had in store.

Even worse, given the fact it may well have not even been a prank, was one American woman's 'tutorial' on how to make the perfect brew, when trust me, the end result is truly anything but.
