RollerManic Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Great emails six flags... Well, technically that IS Goliath.
boldikus Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 as seen on FB: Any comments on how kingda ka ride is. I will be riding it tomorrow for my first time. How does it ride I heard your heart stops beating it's breath taking. Do I have to sign a waiver for this ride my friend says I do.
VF15 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 In line for Millennium Force: "When you sit in the back, you lift off the tracks for a second."
ImNotOneOfYou Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 In line for Millennium Force: "When you sit in the back, you lift off the tracks for a second." In a way, you're never on the track, you're on the seat
SoCal_Coaster Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 *In a line for Maverick* Oh that's the old Millennium Force! That's what it used to look like! (referring to Fury 325)
coreysaysyo Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Was at Busch Gardens Williamsburg a couple of weeks ago. Heard the dude behind us on the train telling his wife "Oh yeah, there used to be this coaster called Drachen Fire. It's not here anymore because someone broke their neck while riding it." lol.
Brent York Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 In line for Turbulence last week (from Hispanic girl): "They have that one coaster that's taller than Kingda Ka.". I can't remember where/which coaster she was trying to describe. Possibly TTD.
coreysaysyo Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 ^ According to one guy I heard, TTD is 800Ft xD
ImNotOneOfYou Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Was at Busch Gardens Williamsburg a couple of weeks ago.

Well it was an Arrow...

prozach626 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I like reading this thread occasionally only because it reminds me of eavesdropping on a bunch of geeks sitting in a room and criticizing people for not knowing the differences between Dungeons and Dragons vs. Magic the Gathering. It's entertaining.
Genx24 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 A gentleman behind me in line for Kingda Ka yesterday, looking at Zumanjaro: "Wow! The evacuation ladder for this ride is huge!"
LiftThrill Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 GP member on Road Runner Express: "I heard that a skinny guy died on this because the bar didn't lock down tight enough and he flew right out" Me: "Nobody has ever died on this, or anything in this park if I remember right. Plus, if skinny people flew out, I'd be dead since I marathoned this with my friend's little sister" GP member: "Oh. It must've been someone who works at SeaWorld trying to steal more of our money"
IrishCasual Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 For some really strange reason I have to put 'the' before the name of a coaster when talking to my parents or else it won't make sense to them. I don't know why.
BackseatBoss Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I was waiting for Shivering Timbers last year and it happened to be Friday the 13th, so the kids in front of me were thinking that it went faster because of Friday the 13th...
VF15 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Sigh... There are people on Facebook that actually think that Six Flags Great America should be sued simply because Sky Trek Tower got stuck and people had to climb down the stairs. My faith in humanity is dropping by the minute.

My faith in humanity is dropping by the minute. Seems like they don't know how common that actually is.
TheHalonSystem Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I tend to consider myself a member of the GP but I'll give this a shot anyway. I was on the mean streak at Cedar Point with my cousin, front row at like 10:30 at night an we each warfed down a giant ice cream cone beforehand so we got on the ride and we made the really loud screaming and snarling sounds and the person behind us kept saying "Girls, be quiet, I'm trying to enjoy my ride". Of course we didn't listen and I was thinking "It's a roller coaster, do you honestly expect dead silence?"
KingRCT3 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Just a side reflection to myself: I love that when girls (ie. you TheHalonSystem) tell a story, they always tend to add details that are not relevant in the end. It's something I don't see guys doing much. But I'm glad you enjoyed a giant ice cream cone before the ride. And while some screams are annoying - especially on videos when you're not "in the mood", I totally agree rides won't be the same without some (over) reactions from riders! It reminds me one time when a kid behind me was mocking me for putting hands up on BTM, like "ugh this is a kiddy ride". I don't care.
TheHalonSystem Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I mentioned the giant ice cream cone because it made us hyper, thus all hyped up for the ride!

It reminds me one time when a kid behind me was mocking me for putting hands up on BTM, like "ugh this is a kiddy ride". I don't care. It only bothers me when someone is screaming hysterically on the lift or the final brake run. If they're cheering about having a fun ride, it's ok. But when they scream like the person behind them will kill them, I probably will kill them
