XYZ Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 That just reminded me of this: It's at Flight Deck/Top Gun at CGA. GP1: This coaster goes over water. GP2: How is that possible. Me: Chuckling 100th POST!
MrSum1_55 Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Found this: I can see the sarcasm. The only problem is that its not a roller coaster.
XYZ Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Found this: I can see the sarcasm. The only problem is that its not a roller coaster. I thought it was funny because it was a slow flat ride.
CardCraze Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 So when do we get a new rollercoaster and the Little Dipper does not count? I'm talking about a Kingda Ka or a Takabisha. Also, PLEASE bring back the Sky Whirl. Thanks!!! From SFGAM
StarTrekGeek Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 ^ Takabisha? WTF?!?! Takabisha is a new Eurofighter in Japan: http://www.gerstlauer-rides.de/references/reference-list/asia/takabisha-en-US/
DiSab Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 The fact that they can reference an obscure new ride in Japan is impressive for the GP, but it doesn't make that statement any less head-scratching.
funkeymon Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Found this on Youtube... "There is no looping rollar coasters there used to be 1 but a piece wood snapped and killed some people." I had to read it a couple times before figuring out that he was talking about SOB. But it didn't kill anyone...
StarTrekGeek Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Here are a few things I here at parks a lot from the GP: "Wow, (Name any really awesome non-inverting coaster here) sucked! It didn't have any loops!" "(Name any really bad inverting coaster here) was awesome! I love the loops!!" OMG, when I think of those quotes, this comes to mind:
fpsphil Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Today at Great America the kid next to me on Vortex to his friend, "Why is that ride broken? (pointing at Firefall)" the guy next to me's response, "I think the seats fell off." /facepalm
Angry_Gumball Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Just in (sort of) from CGA's Facebook in reference to someone's iPad and other electronic goods that were stolen: ghetto amusement park carneys tell you,you cant take cameras on ride,you put them down where they tell you,then get off the ride and they are stolen,I will pass the word around about this place..and I expect the return of 2 cell phones/digital camera,I am reporting this to the authorities Well, keep on expecting, buddy! First off, who on earth brings an iPad to an amusement park? Stupid if you ask me. Second, ride operators are not responsible for stolen items...they are responsible for guests safety when operating rides. As far as what I do, I typically only carry necessities with me. I prefer to bring a smaller camera, not my fancy DSLR camera as I can fit that in my pockets along with my cell phone. Anything I do store in the cubbies are not high value items such as souvenir cup or a hat. Everything else of value remains in my pocket.
Bigcoaster95 Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 This is from a CoasterForce video of Terminator Salvation " Fun fact, this ride was imported from Six Flags New Orleans. Look up Mega Zeph and you'll see the resemblance"
Gmaster562 Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 I was watching a news report of the accident at Darien lake which included interviews of some other GP that was on the ride with him. One interviewer stated, "No one was really secure, I mean like all we had was just the thing that goes over your lap and the ride operators didn't check them that well because you know they were shaking, and loose enough to the point where you know, we were flying out of our seats at some points on the hills".
sfgamguy Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 At Sfgam: Girl: "Does that one loop?" (Pointing to RB) Me: " No" My Friend: "Yeah it does" (After we just went on it) Me: "Oh really, where? Could you show me" My Friend: (Looks at track and points to turnaround) Me: *facepalm* At Soccer practice: Kid: "Hey did you hear there building a new rollercoaster at six flags great america?" Me: "No (This was early June) Kid: Yeah there taking out American Eagle and building Kingda Ka in its spot" Me: *facepalms* No there not. Then him and another person try to convince me that they really are. *double facepalm* Also with the new Rumors at Sfgam many people have been putting in there expert opinions such as; "I hope it's an Interim" (Intamin) "Iron wolf was going to go for Superman right after the Wizzard" And the many comments including: 1. Why don't we have rides like Cedar Point! 2. American Eagle can't leave! 3. When are we getting Chang?
JJ728 Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Found on a YouTube video of Riddler's Revenge. this rides like a glitch u can either stand up or sit down its crazy It has 32 likes...
Nibbler Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 I had multiple guests ask me, "What time are the 9:45 fireworks" followed by, "Where are they?" also had a guest ask me if he had missed the fireworks..
* Misery Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 All overheard today: Line-up for an Enterprise: "I heard this thing has a 25% chance of failing." "You fall out when you go upside down." On a Swinging Ship: "Someone fell out of this into a lake." And then they tried the penny trick. Later in the day, there was a quick power failure on a roller coaster (we were in the station but they wouldn't let us out until the power was back on), and the girl behind me said, "I'm really glad the power didn't fail when we were upside down!" which led to me turning to my sister and explaining physics of a roller coaster. Funnily enough, these were all teenage girls.
154bmag Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 I got a few In line for sierra sidewinder at knotts I heard this Girl 1: Each car spins differently Girl 2: I think you have to pay extra for it to spin Leaving Golaith Guy 1 : Dude it was SOOOOO FAST LIKE 300 MPH and last Guy 1: Dude Colossus is like old school like 100 years old
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Some guest waited in line for my ride, got up to the loading area, and asked me if I could break a 20. I laughed and told him no, and the rest of the day I put a sign on the turnstile "RIDE OPERATORS CARRY NO CASH".
Bear92 Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Funnily enough, these were all teenage girls. Even more funnily enough, these are the same girls that so many enthusiasts wish they had.
ABW Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 ^ At California's Great America: "Is this The Demon? *points at Flight Deck's entrance."
