Your Biggest Coaster/Theme Park Related Geek Out Moments

Last year my college had a small engineering trip where we got to tour Hersheypark's maintenance areas and Fahrenheit. It was awesome to see all the things backstage and get so up close to the ride. One interesting sight was in the sign shop, where the printer was christened the SuperDooperSignPooper II. Then, they let us ride Fahrenheit for half an hour before the park opened, which was awesome, and very nice of them.

At Cedar Point, I saw a group of men in business attire strolling the main midway. I immeaditely recognized Dick Kinzel and John Hildenbrant (GM of CP) but not the governor of Ohio, Ted Strickland. He was being given a tour, and I didn't even know it was him until I heard that he was at the park several minutes later.
