    Quoted from vicjw66:

    I’m still trying to figure out how tubby got up in there. But I get it. Kid got tired of pumping money into the machine and grabbing the prize only to have it constantly release near the top.

    It's one of those $5/try machines, I think, where everything is oversized, including the prizes. I doubt this kid ever put any money into it. I think he saw the size of the door and knew he'd be able to get in there and take what he wanted. Probably fairly easy to get in there, too. Most of these idiots don't realize that the doors on those things are kind of like one-way valves. That's why so many kids get stuck in them, they can't figure out how to defeat the door to get out, therefore proving their idiocy. The ones that are successful, you never hear really about. Those are the ones whose parents tell them to get in there and steal as many of the plushes as possible and hold the door open for them the whole time. These incidents usually happen at Walmart in that area between the entrance and exit doors where they have all those gumball and sticker machines.

    Hey Carowinds! I've actually been there! Good to see it's still open and operating.
