Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

A friend of mine once asked a park worker if a log flume went upside down.

[Coaster Hero]

"If you distribute the weight crazy enough, you can almost flip your boat over on the log flume."

 

Not sure if this is even possible, though I've heard from some people that it was doable on Log Jammer

[I305forever]

^ I guess if you had four morbidly obese people and they all moved over to one side it could flip.

A couple of gems from my brother:

 

On Rage at Adventure Island:

 

"Don't put your hands up, you'll die!"

 

Ten minutes before, me and him saw a train race across the track and one guy had his hands up all the way through.

 

Standing near a Rotor ride:

 

Him: "I know what this ride does."

Me: "How do you know?"

Him: "My friends got on one when I was about five. I didn't go on it because I thought the barrel filled up with water and drowned you, but now I know that it just spins you."

Me: "..."

 

We then went on the ride and it was one of the weirdest things I have ever ridden.

Last night at the start of Tatsu night ERT (while they were weaving the GP out of the line). Both stations were running.

 

Girl: "Why does it have two stations?"

Her friend: "Oh, they do that so they can run two trains at once and duel during the ride."

While waiting in line for YOLO at SFMM. It was sunny and hot, so the attendant had the line split in half underneath the big tent, and the covering for the ramp leading up to the platform, leaving the middle section empty so no one had to stand in the sun (excellent idea, PS. Great guest service).

 

This was rather confusing to several people who thought they may not really be in line for the coaster that was literally right in front of them. One couple actually left the line because the guy said "that's the ride, but this isn't the line".

 

PS - It's been said before, but this trip made it so glaringly obvious.... literally the worst capacity ride I've ever seen. Trains were getting dispatched approx every 2:20, with only 18 riders possible per train. And the lop-sided loading platform that makes everyone climb over each other to get to the bins, but has 4 feet of extra space on the loading side. Operationally, it's a mess and I have no clue who greenlit any of it.

Found a bit of iron:

 

I aked this question:

Would you rather ride an XXL RIGHT NOW or not?

SEVEN.

 

So, this person went on an XXL when she was SEVEN?! That is just... I can't even. And why would the ride ops allow a seven year old on that thing?!

I went on Millenium Force when I was eight.

[CP Maverick]

I went on Millenium Force when I was eight.

I went on it when I was 18. Didn't have an option to ride it prior to that.

[dylanreich]

I went on Millenium Force when I was eight.

Why is that weird?

[MayTheGForceBeWithYou]

I never got the comments bragging about how old you were when you rode [insert ride here]. Do people really give a sh!t about that?

[ytterbiumanalyst]

If XXL carries a 48" height requirement, I can totally see a 7-year-old being tall enough. My 7-year-old daughter is just under 51", so in a lot of parks she can do almost everything. SDC she can do all except Wildfire. SFStL is everything except Batman, Freeze, and Excalibur. WOF it's everything except Patriot. You'd think there'd be a lot of limitations for a kid of that age, but not really. Once you hit 48" you're basically golden.

[I305forever]

^^ I was just saying that because the person who was above acted like it was crazy for a 7 year old to go on a big ride.

[MayTheGForceBeWithYou]

^All right. My point still stands for when people unironically say that.

From SFGAm

 

"Goliath is wooden, It's not safe"

 

"I miss Iron Wolf... I didn't ride it"

[bluestreak]

The other day I was at CP and getting off of Rougarou. I was walking behind a father, mother, and their about 13 year old son. So I hear the mother say, "Lets go ride The Dragon I just kinda rolled my eye and decided that that was a reasonable mistake, but then after that the kid goes, "yeah then we can ride The Mantis!"

[gerstlaueringvar]

Oh my gaw have you been on the diamondback it's like the the tallest fastest and scariest thing evah I literally cried after that oh my gaw it was so good

[dippindotsguy8]

 

That's just plain offensive! Jeez...

[coneyislandchris]

Wow, a complete drooling idiot on Facebook? Whodathunkit...

[Awesomefaceninja7]

I really want that ride to re open soon...

Queueing for Sky Drop at Adventure Island

 

Woman in her 30ss (also in the queue):

 

"It just goes up and down? That's all it does?!"

 

What else would a drop tower do??? It doesn't spin around or anything. Also, you can clearly see what it does even outside of the queue!

 

[sarcasm]It goes 360 degrees, spins around, smashes into Rage and throws you onto the Pier![/sarcasm]

"The scariest part is when it goes 80 mph in the beginning."

What I hate is when there's a train transfer and people leave when its only a few extra minutes longer

[GCI Wooden]

What I hate is when theirs a train transfer and people leave when its only a few extra minutes longer

Why? That means a shorter line for you!
