gisco Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Even with the parks starting to ban them, it is only a matter of time before someone gets hurt on a ride because of them. Some idiots only think the rules apply to others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterkid124 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 These things are really starting to get on my nerves. I never really knew what the big problem with them was, but now I have been seeing more and more of them and it is definitely a problem. At Darien Lake, someone thought it would be a brilliant idea to stick one out just inches from a zooming Boomerang train in the station. What did the ride ops do about it? Nothing. Nothing at all. Next thing you know somebody is going to get impaled by one of these and rides will be shut down for weeks under investigation. Sounds kind of extreme, but in NY it wouldn't surprise me.

ilrider Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Just got an email from Six Flags today stating selfie sticks are prohibited in all parks. Guests will have to keep them in their cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Another person got attacked by a bison in Yellowstone while trying to take a selfie with a bison less than 6 yards behind her and her daughter. Just goes to show you that people don't necessarily need selfie sticks to be dumb asses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I've got this small joke given to me, to use in my role as The Barker, in my local summer theatre's Village Fair (circa 1843), which precedes a showing of the musical Oliver! I'm out in the audience as they come in to find their seats, etc. So I greet them, and then tell them... "You are more welcome to go up onto the stage and take close up photos of the set, with yourselvesin it. Selfies, too. But I must warn you. Management does not allow Selfie Sticks in any form or manner, clearly for the reason...selfies sticks were not invented in 1843! I get a good laugh from the group. They know and appreciate the comment. C`mon Guv, you know selfie sticks didn`t exist back then. (o; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCI Wooden Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Just saw today on Facebook that Knoebels has banned selfie sticks. I'm pretty sure that it is just on rides, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF15 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I'm in line for Wild Thing at Valleyfair right now, and they just had to E-stop it on the lift hill because someone took out their selfie stick on the ride. Really, humanity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleDown Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Worst. Invention. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Worst. Invention. Ever. Personally I think a Selfie Stick is a good invention if used the way it was meant to be used. When we took a family vacation to NYC it was nice to have a Selfie Stick with us because we could get the entire family in one picture without having to ask some random stranger to take the picture. However, we made sure we were never in anyone's way, and that we weren't the typical "Selfie Stick Users" kind of people. However, I do think a Selfie Stick on ANY kind of theme park attraction is just an ignorant idea. I can see why parks ban them, and I fully support any park who wishes to do so!

DoinItForTheFame Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 You know... I may be in the minority here... But I see NOTHING wrong with SelfieSticks...................... When they are used correctly, and when they are used for what they were intended to be used for. I will admit, I have a SelfieStick... Only because I got it for free. But I can not tell you how useful the SelfieStick was on family vacation in NYC. I was able to get really good family photos without having to ask a random stranger to take the picture for us, and we never had to have someone from our group miss out on being in the photo, so they could take the picture for us. With that being said, I made sure I was never getting any anyone else's way, or causing an issue when I used the SeflieStick, and I would NEVER in a million years take a SelfieStick to an amusement park. I guess in the end I do think SelifeSticks should be ban in ALL amusement parks for the safety of others, but when used correclty, and when used for what they were designed for (great group photos without having to have someone else take the photo) then I think SelfieSticks are a great invention.

robbalvey Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 You know... I may be in the minority here... But I see NOTHING wrong with SelfieSticks...................... When they are used correctly... And that's the problem. 99% of the people using them are doing stupid things with them. I have watched, and SEVERAL occasions someone get on a ride like Big Thunder Mountain or Expedition Everest and wave around their selfie sticks like a golf club nearing hitting people having to duck out of the way. I'm so glad that Disney and so many other parks have banned them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
