Have you ever seen a celebrity at a theme park?

[Electerik]

I took Carrie Fisher, Danny DeVito and Rea Pearlman on Haunted Shack tours during my Knott's days. And put Courtney Cox and David Arquette onto Ghost Rider.

 

/Also Robb Alvey!

[Quicksilver04440]

^nice, yeah also put Frankie J on Bullet, Pierce Brosnan on Bigfoot Rapids, and got to talk with Gail Anderson fron KTLA 5 news while at Pony Express. And who can forget Verne Troyer's fit he threw when we told him he wasnt tall enough to ride Bigfoot Rapids

[Coasterlvr_nc]

I got to put the entire Switchfoot Band on Afterburn last year, (they were here for a concert). I also walked past shaq, i was headed from universal studios to IOA, and he was headed from IOA to Universal.

[The Bebes]

I saw Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger at Disneyland about 10 years ago. Alec and I made eye contact and he gave me the dirtiest look as to say, "don't even think about saying anything to me!"

 

Not very friendly.

[Teacups Make Me Sick]

I took Carrie Fisher, Danny DeVito and Rea Pearlman on Haunted Shack tours during my Knott's days.

 

Did you ask her where did Han go? Or was he out back parking the Millennium Falcon (or battling some intergalactic war)?

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

^He probably held up the booth lines arguing to keep from paying Bus parking rates.

I saw the members of NSYNC at Hersheypark back in 2000, I guess they were having a concert at the stadium later that night.

[coolcalicoaster]

I saw Artie Lange trying to get on the Viper at Darien Lake. They wouldn't let him on cause he was too fat. I think he has lost weight. Maybe he will try to ride again if he can stop making fun of Bababooey's first pitch at the Mets game.

[Six Flags Enthuseast]

Sadly, no. I think the closest I've been to 'seeing a celebrity' at all is watching Air Force One take off from Lambert - St. Louis International Airport with.... I THINK Sarah Palin in it.

 

EDIT: I just remembered, I saw Jadagrace (from Terminator Salvation) on Thrill Shot, and we talked with her and her family while we were in line. We saw her on Terminator Salvation: The Ride Media Day.

Back on an 8th grade class trip to Knott's Berry Farm we all saw Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen waiting in line for Boomerang while we were getting on the ride.

[KevinM]

I saw Ken Griffey Jr. at the Skycoaster at SFGAm (when I was working). He was on a huge VIP tour, be he did not fly. Most of his family did.

 

I didn't know who that was.

[bean.zilla]

When I was in grade school, I went to Kings Island with my family and Gloria Estefan was performing that night. We saw her walking through the park early in the day. I remember she had on really cool sunglasses.

 

Later that night, when they were performing, you could hear the show while we were in line for Racer. One of the ride ops was singing along and they were doing call and response during one of the songs. "Oh way oh way" "Oh way oohhhh eyeeeee" It was so fun singing while getting on the ride.

 

We could see the show from the ferris wheel too!

[bspellx5]

Closest thing to a celebrity I have seen at a park was Ashley Holmes (She's the daughter of one of the Real Housewives Of New Jersey) at Great Adventure a few weeks ago.

[timfreeman]

Many years back, I saw most of the tennis guys (Becker & Agassi come to mind) at KI when the ATP was in town. When I was younger, we had passes to Opryland, so I saw many country stars walking around (Lorrie Morgan, Clint Black I remember). At Universal I've seen Ellen (but she was taping a show, so it wasn't a normal sighting). I saw Ted Nugent at Downtown Disney in June, he was playing at the House of Blues that night. On the same trip, I also saw a bunch of basketball players at Downtown Disney. Also saw Juan Howard at Hollywood Studios. I wondered what they all were doing there, then found out the summer camp started a few days later.

[tristtkd]

Earlier this year, I could've sworn I saw Zach Galifianakis at CW in line for Behemoth. A friend of mine saw David Bowie a while back walking around the park and my dad once a band called Firehouse walking around.

[Mantaeus]

Some member of N'sync back in 2001 at Hersheypark on Lightning Racer.

[moinab]

Dick Vitale - ESPN College Basketball Analyst

 

At legoland.

 

--Jay

 

We saw Dick Vitale in Magic Kingdom.

 

We also saw Pete Docter in Animal Kingdom.

 

Those are the only ones I can think of in theme parks.

[xKonsentox]

I saw some people from some MTV show. I have no clue who they were but everyone knew who they were waiting in line...

Heres some photos of them...

I heard they are from making the band maybe?

 

Anyways that was back in 2008 while I was waiting in line for Raging Bull. I dont think I really saw or met anyone else famous at SFGAm, but I remember a long time ago I saw someone famous at Disneyland, but its very vague to me since it was about 10 years ago (I was 9) and I was sick that day. There might have been some other famous person at SFGAm too (this year) as there was a camera person recording inside Superman's station (But that could have seriously been for anything).

[braztaz]

Well I guess seeing a celebrity isn't a rarity for most people...sadly I have yet to experience this

[ILoveRides]

My friend spotted Japanese porn star Akiho Yoshizawa at Yomiuriland riding the frog hopper!

[ilrider]

Saw former Chicago Bulls Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant at Great Amqerica in Gurnee before they won their first championship of the 90s.

[CoasterKidKyle]

I swear last year I rode Griffin right next to someone that looked exactly like Haley Williams. She had V.I.P passes and everything. I don't know for a fact if it was her or not.

[sixflagsguy5]

One time I walked in front of the mirror in a fun house and saw myself...

[dragonskeep]

"If you wanna be the man, you gotta beat the man" Whew!!" Saw Rick Flair on Space Mountain.

 

I saw Mr T almost fall off Der Stuka

 

And like 5 years ago I ran in to the Alveys at Islands of Adventure. I was with my nieces and only spoke to Robb for long enough to tell him I loved and appreciated this site. I only saw Elissa from behind and might have checked out her butt.
