Satoshi Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 what my mom says a lot when i go to parks '' DON'T talk a lot with other guys in the lines or ride ops. '' she doesn't wanna me to get seemed to be kinda stranger so i try not to do that thing then. i start to be into talking with them when she's gone like ' i wanna try that ride and then i'll go get on that. ' i can sometimes learn something from what ops or guys in the lines talk to me so i think talking to them's are real good for your improve in knowing about g forces, layouts, concepts, and you've got to see how they feel on the op job. break the ice if you wanna make friends! why're not most guys gonna try to be friends with them?

Red_Dragon02 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I was recently at Magic Mountain and the lines were so long, that you couldn't help but talk to the people also waiting. It was so busy and hot there that I only rode 3 coasters, but I'm proud to say that the first one was Tatsu! Since it was so hot and the lines were so long, there was plenty for us to talk about...from topics like "why aren't the misters on?" to "are we there yet?". In general I'm not a chatty person, but when it comes to rollercoasters, I just can't shut up about them. Like you can tell by this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Well last time I went to SFNE my father and i spoke to the line manager for the cyclone. (The Mind Eraser put my mom out for the rest of the day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjgx Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Usually not, but my friend does. We were waiting in line for GhostRider and he started playing verbal Tic-Tac-Toe (the one where you say the numbers of each space) with a couple strangers...

USRoadTripper Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 In a word, no, I don't ever talk to people in lines when I am by myself. This past week at Carowinds, the only word I said to anyone besides my mom was when a ride op asked the kid in front of me if I was his mom, and all I said was "What?" since I was looking in another direction at the time. Â My mom is the kind that will talk to anyone about anything, and it gets on my nerves when I am with her. Whenever she watches Fantasmic, she comes away with life stories of everyone sitting around her. I personally hate it when people try to start conversations with me (unless they are hot guys, but that has only happened once! ) Â -Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odene497 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I usually only talk to people when I am by myself. I'm always excited so I end up asking people things like "have you ridden this before" and stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonOfBeastSucks Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Not necessarily in lines for rides at parks, but talking to strangers you don't know can be a good time. You can meet so many interesting people that way. For example, I was sitting in a cafe last week and someone happened to mention to me that they had read the book that I was reading at the time. It became an interesting conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medusa1861 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I always seem to talk to everyone around me in line, even if i'm with a group. It's the only way I can social with anyone. I know they won't run away after waiting 30 minutes for a ride already. I'm very social with strangers, but not people I sort of know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney422 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I like overhearing someone talking about how scared they are, then getting them more scared by talking up the ride. Â I was on Nitro with my buddy, and we got sat next to 2 like 12 yr olf boys. They asked me in the station if Nitro was scary, and I'm like, "Naw, you're gonna have a fun!" Then we're on the lift hill (point of no return) and I lean over to them, "I lied guys, last time I went on this ride I pissed myself...!" Â The look on their faces was...priceless!!!

Lord Kotowa Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Not talking to people in the queue, as i tend to avoid it, as i always end up talking about something silly like hw the ride works. I can talk to people on the ride if they sit next to me, its funny when its on ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumboshrmp Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Soemtimes if I see a first timer who is excited about their first ride I talk to them. Â If I see someone who is nervous, I do the same. Â I'm also rather nosy. I listen to what other people talk about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelizeIt Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Well I usually talk to either Mr. Twig or Mr. Hat. Â I often prefer to talk to Mr. Twig, because Mr. Hat is a Two-Timing Whore! Dam you Brett Favre!!! Â Mr. "South Park" Garrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas2 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I know it isn't in line, but I always talk to people when riding a coaster. Out of the 14 times I rode Silver Star last week, I talked 11 times to strangers. It's really fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
