Nrthwnd Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 We had local friends just return from a trip to Japan, with plans to visit the Tokyo Disney Parks while there. So I asked them how they liked the parks? One said, they went to Disneyland only. Weren't interested in "the other park." The other, when asked at a separate time, answered "There were two parks?" And he was serious. And I didn't know what to say. Edit to add: However, if you look at it from the viewpoint of arriving via train at the station, then walking to Disneyland, walking back to the station and back to your hotel - do you actually SEE the Disney Sea Park? Obviously, they missed the mountain, LOL. And they didn't look at posters much, apparently. Still, that was a freeky question to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 AARRRRGGGGHHH! This comment was so stupid that it made me mad! I really hope they were just joking around. KingsIslandPR tweeted about the new Banshee Trains: So this guy had this to tweet back: ARRGHH! I hope it was a joke because for some reason, it really got on my nerves.

ajfelice Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Anyone who has worked in operations in the past several years could relate to hearing something like this on a regular basis... "Is this going to be like Final Destination?" After about the 1,000th time I have been asked this, I'm now tempted to respond back, "Sometimes I wish it was."

marth555 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 all from Kings Islands facebook One thing bothers me on thinking, I see that Banshee comes very close to the ground. I guess they may somehow fence the area around the lowest areas to the ground but I just wonder if the fence will be tall enough to keep "deer" out? It would be deadly if a coaster full of riders smack into a deer being in the way by the low points in this ride! I know that I have a four foot fence around my yard as well as my neighbors all around me on all sides. The deer just jumps the fence as they get spooked! I just hope and pray this never happens!!!! Concerning diamondback Yep, almost fell off and died because your rides are made to support fat people It needs a safety belt. Love the ride but it's not worth my life.

TPDave Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The sad thing is that people will probably believe that article Two supposed enthusiasts seem to have fallen for it so I'd say the attachment rate amongst the GP wouldn't be inconsiderable! I often see articles from the Onion either believed or convincingly trolled on FB, always amusing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCF Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 My friend is soon going to be heading to Arizona for the Six Flags down there. I even provided the website of Six Flags to show they didn't have a park out there. She says she's been there before and is going to head out there anyway.

MisterP Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Here is one of my favorites from the Six Flags You Tube comment section: "Why did they bother making Goliath out of wood, surely its better to make it even scareier and for a bit more money, out of metal."

IrishCasual Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I told my friend's that a new Wooden coaster was coming to Tayto Park next year. This is what they said: Person 1: ''They have WOODEN coasters!'' P.2: ''I won't get on that, it's too unsafe, it'll break in the first day it's open. The car will fly out when it goes upside down''. Me: ''Lots of coaster's go upside down. P.1: ''Holy **** how do they go and do loopy loop's then?'' Me: ''Okay, (I talk about how it works and all.) Then....'' P.2: ''My friend fell of the loop-ed-y loop mouse ride at Funderland (Funfair at Ireland) and when the car got to the bottom he landed back in the car and lived.'' Me: '' The wild Mouse doesn't go upside down. And it's IMPOSSIBLE to fall of at the top of the inversion and then land back in the car. P.1 & P.2: ''Shut up you dumb****! Your like a know-it-all about everything! Your like your own Wikipedia.'' Me: Okay, ''I know more about coaster's then you will ever know!'' P.1 & P.2: ''Shut up!'' Then they walked away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 When I told someone coasters use aluminum bars to slow down at magnetic brake. They said aluminum is soft, therefore, coasters are not safe. And they asked me to tell them which coaster are not using aluminum bars at magnetic brake... I named a Chinese knock-off SLC...

Nrthwnd Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 "Is this going to be like Final Destination?" You should all respond to this question..... "No, only in Vancouver, Canada."* Worth a try, I'd say. *(The corkscrew station and some track used in the movie was ours, at Playland.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2012jarrett Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 My junior year we had a guest speaker come in to my chemistry class to talk to us about engineering. Being an engineering major myself, I was really excited when he got to mechanical engineering, my branch. He started by asking us, "how many of you have been on Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point?" A few hands go up. I got excited since it's what I want to do with my degree. He then explains to us that it uses a magnetic launch and shows us how an LSM system works. I'm sorry, but if you're doing a presentation on a roller coaster, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW IT WORKS BEFORE "EDUCATING" EVERYBODY!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
