Weird Moments

[LOVE SFKK]

alright so im wiating in line for manhattan express and they train gets back and everyone looked like............ouch, yah that describes it. so of course this goth girl has a bloody nose waiting to exit the car and manages to bleed all over the car, and then none of the ride ops wanted to touch it for fear of a disease probably so then they had to call janitor from the hotel so now were talkin 25 minutes so finally when the janitor from the hotel arrives the kid behing her pukes all over the place and it wasnt normal puke it was like EXTREME puke in 20 shades of yellow.(and YES!!!! it needed that exaggeration) so now weve got puke, blood, and a crappy togo ride. so that was the weirdest, sickest, crappiest day ever involving coasters. ( oh yah it was 40 min. plus my wait time to ride the AWESOME manhattan express. god the virtual coaster in the arcade was 10 times better

This was at my SFEG trip last week.

 

I had to sit with a "special guy" since I was the only other single rider in line for the Batwing flat ride. Batwing is a Chance Aviator flat ride and two people sit in an inverted car with their feet dangling. And, like flyers, theres a joystick in the middle to control the car.

 

The entire time, he had control of the joystick and he was yelling "Ten, five, (incoherent rambling), TEN!!" and I was afraid if I touched the joystick, he would probably attack me or something. So, the entire time, I was like "Get me down from here..." and decided to run away after the ride was over. God, that guy creeped me out.

One time at Six Flags Great Adventure I saw Kingda Ka remain fully opperational with no ride stopages for TWO consecutive hours!! I swear to god that I am not lying.

This is at a fair (hopefully it counts, I've never had a weird moment at a theme park) and not relly weord but one time after my friend played sheek Ball at the enka fair, and he lost, . But then we saw this stuffed toy that you would win halfway down one of the lanes (that's the weird part) and I told my friend to take it. He tried but then to guy shouted "HEY! Don't ever do that again or else you are going down town!"

 

I found that a little weird, but its not that weird . I never had real weird moment at a theme park, but I found that a stuffed toy halfway down the sheek ball runway a little weird.

One of the weirdest things I can rembember of course would happen at Carowinds...

 

I was on Top Gun and just as we were entering the Batwing a truck drove right past us on the grouds! The image was just weird because he was moving and we were moving (of course) and then I got flipped upsidedown all at the same time.

 

One time I saw Jarvis (jarmor) at Carowinds (with his tripod) that was the weirdest thing ever. Sorry Jarvis I couldn't resist.

 

Oh, I should talk about when Jarvis screamed like a little girl at Scarowinds last year!!!

 

Uh oh Jarvis is going to get me at C3.

The absolute weirdest thing that happened to me at a park was when I visited DCA in January. My friend, my brother and I were standing in line for Sun Wheel. I'm lazy, so here's the story copied and pasted from my trip report:

 

In line, some creepy guy was checking out young girls waiting in line in front of us. The line splits near the station so more gondolas can be loaded at once. We split to the left, and creepy guy split to the right. A few seconds later we found out that he was right next to us! Great. Hopefully he won't get on the same gondola as us. They load one gondola and stop him before he boards. Great. He's riding with us.

 

We sat on the other side of the gondola as the creepy guy. Aside from him, this ride was really crazy fun. The swinging was insanely scary, and there was nothing to grab on to. ... While we were yelling and talking, the only thing creepy guy did was widen his eyes and let out a quiet noise every so often. Creepy!

 

When the ride ended, we got the heck out of there. Creepy guy walked in another direction.

 

Seriously scary. He was looking at the girls every time they moved or climbed on the queue railings. Ugh.

^ I remember you saying that. lol I can't believe I can remember back that far.

[trustkill22]

Doing a ride evac on a BBW @BGE coaster:

 

1. In a POURING rainstorm (a July 4 weekend and park was open 'til midnite back then).

2. About 10:30pm

3. Lost my raingear (and radio).

4. Maintenance pants split in the crotch area.

5. Diabetic on the ride (really freaking out).

6. A guy had too much to drink and throws up on the front car of the train.

7. Finished that evac and fixed the ride and Nessie goes down with sensor problems. Evac #2 lift.....and the story goes on...

8. Best part? 1/2 trainload on Nessie-evac had cheerleaders (and wearing white shirts of all things...ooops).

Mine was at SFWOA.

This lady comes up to us and says: If you give me 20 bucks, i'll give all you guys tickets for the rides. (???) We were already in the park, and what the heck would tickets do?

We told security about her. We were like the 8th group to tell them about her and they were tracking her down.

that was odd.

On March 31st, 2006 when My sister, brother and I got off Kingda Ka, I was talking to my mom when someone came behind me and started rubbing my chest . I turned around and it was my friend Tom (an other coaster enthusiest) from my school.

 

This kid tried cutting me in line at Kingda Ka and "the New Yorker" came out of me, and the kid left.

 

I ran into Tom (mentioned before) three times at SFGAv and Twice at Coney Island!

 

I got stuck on Batman The Ride at the top of the lift at SFGAv last month and my friend who is the leed op came up and came to my row. ANd my other friend who's also an op came in when the lift stopped so he went up too. He didn't know I was there so his reaction was funny.

 

A few other things I'll post later.

One day at SFNE...

 

We get there before the park opens, so of course we stand around waiting for them to move the rope. Then they did this annoying show with the characters. Finally, they let us in. I started dragging my friend to Superman. As luck would have it, my sister got on the first train and managed to point this out at least 5 times. Anyhoo, SROS was my friend's first hyper... and his first coaster above 100 feet... and his first steel coaster... yeah. That was some really good on-ride entertainment. When we got off, we hiked over to pop Steven's SLC cherry. We rode in the front of the first train of the day. Funny... it was rougher last year. After that, we rode Batman (which Steven compared favorably to the SLC (no surprise there)), and then went to the Tivoli. Now, for those of you who have not seen the Tivoli trains, they are way too long. Like 20 rows. Sitting in the front, you decelerate down hills and accelerate up hills. As we got off, a kid sitting 5 rows behind us whined about the line. I looked at the line and thought, "WTF? That's about half a train!" So we went over to the Boomerang, which was closed. It opened later, but first we gotta get to the rapids ride. As before, a kid said that I was going to go under the waterfall, and this time he was right. He went under too, though. Freshly soaked, we headed to Pandemonium, where Steven had a lot of fun. Then we went to ride Cyclone. Here is one of the big "WTF" moments. We rode in the back car, middle seat. The ride seems to be pissed at something, because it was emitting a really high-pitched noise, and the fifth drop was a doozy. Ejector air, and then it felt like being strapped to a jackhammer. On the way back to Superman, an insect flew up my nose. After utterly failing to force Steven to go on the kiddy coaster, we headed to lunch. Lunch was boring, and Steven was slow. So I rode the George Foreman Grill ride. And I spent like 10 minutes waiting for it to go. After that, we rode Superman again, Batman again, and then I heard a "kerchunk". I dragged Steven to Flashback. Steven refused to go on it. So I went on. After a minor altercation over claim of the front seat (which I won), I got in and waited for the coaster to go. And waited. And waited. Soon, the ride op walked towards the back of the train. I managed to turn far enough to look behind me (not an easy feat on a Boomerang) and heard something about (get this) someone refusing to use the restraints. So I waited for like forever in the uncomfortable train, and finally we started. The Flashback hurt like hell. On the way back, a visor flew off Pandemonium and landed in the middle of the ride. Steven and I then rode the Shoot-the-Chutes, Batman (again), and then I went on Superman alone. And as I was waiting for the ride, I saw my calculus teacher on the coaster. After the ride, I had to go home.

Last month at the Del Mar Fair, I was running to one of the rides and a Razor cell phone dropped from the Evolution and exloped right in front of me. I just stood there for a few seconds while the ride op looked at me and then I kept going. When I got in line for the Kamkaze I saw the ride op picking up all the pieces of the cell phone.
