Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
BeansproutMidget replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My cousin and I when we went to KD and stuck in line at Volcano: 'Is this the Alpengeist?' When I went to BGW, the people in line beside us for Verbotlen: 'Where's that Intimdator at? Is that the blue one? Or is that Kingda Ka?" Later that day, we went back to Apollo's Chariot, and by then the BGW Landscaping Project of 2015 was being started. She saw the construction site while we were on the lift. She asked if a coaster was being built, like other people were asking while in line. I just said 'What coaster? BGW never mentioned anything about a coaster. Its just some more shops.' -

The B&M roar just adds that final touch. I'm so ready to ride this thing. -

So glad I have family within an hour's drive of the park! And I get two excuses to go back to Knoebels! I'm ready for summer now. -

Weird Roller Coaster Dreams
BeansproutMidget replied to alpengeistdude321's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Prior to riding I305, I had a dream where I was waiting in line. I waited at least three hours through rain, thunder, and a bunch of break downs. Then, on another random coaster (for some reason it looked like Wicked Cyclone...) nearby, the train derailed and ran into the crowd waiting for I305 behind me, killing a lot of people. I still didn't leave line. And when I got to ride, I sat down, the cable connected to the car, and I woke up. Then, there was when I was at WDW with parent, siblings, and one cousin. We spent the day in a really different version of Magic Kingdom, then stayed at a hotel nearby Hollywood Studios/MGM. My cousin and I saw ToT and jumped out of the window of our fifth-story hotel room, and ended up in another Disney park alive and well. We went around, saw a few people I knew, and then came across some sort of large countdown clock with a man in a space suit on. When the clock reached zero, my cousin and I were on some sort of RMC, and watched the crowd start cheering. Then, the astronaut man started to choke himself to death with some woman (wife?) watching on. (Weird note: I woke up the next day and Niel Armstrong was dead... ) -
Stare at the ride, watching people's reactions. Converse with fellow riders waiting as well (did this for 40 minutes while waiting for the front on I305 one night with two firemen...40 minutes well spent) Look at other rides. Laugh at how GP think that Kingda Ka is "500ish feet tall" and other stupidity... When the ride is shut down for maintence, kick around some girl's weave she lost (20 minutes in Volcano queue with nine other people) TPR App Rock Paper Scissors War!

What do you think of Fast Passes?
BeansproutMidget replied to K1ngdaKa88's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If I'm going to Cedar Point, SFGA, SFMM, or Busch Gardens Williamsburg or Tampa, I would definatly buy one and use the crap out of it. However, because of my long patience, I tend to avoid the Fast Passes and wait in line for three hours for a ride instead.
