FLIPDUDE Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 ^Heh, in a way I'm improving their experience, because the whole fun of rollercoasters is overcoming your fears, adnt he mroe I make them scared the more fun they have overcoming that fear! I do always mention that rollercoasters are(usually) very safe, though.
chmilo24 Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 ^Thats like what my sister did to me when I rode the Matterhorn for the first time. Only she said that once a day the Yeti eats some random child. It my the ride more fun when you found out that you didn't die. --Chris
Myself Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 At Kennywood I was once asked where the 'water logs' were. I had to do a triple take before I realized I was indeed hearing her right and that she meant the Log Jammer. Also, as a Kiddieland ride op there, I have to say: if the ride has a maximum height restriction (out of the 14 rides in Kiddieland 6 of them allow adults to ride) then parents CANNOT RIDE. You can't make exceptions for kids who are too tall either. I have had people argue/beg/whatever with me for almost 3 minutes. Sometimes, it's just common sense (does it LOOK like you're going to fit into the plane/helicopter/whip car etc.?).
FlyingScooter Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Last week a Waitress at a Friendlies Restaurant (berea, ohio): I can't wait to go to Geauga lake this year and ride my Villain! I was sorry to burst her bubble.
FLIPDUDE Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 ^Aww, that's sad. However, it's not stupid, she just didn't know it closed.
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 One of my friends tells me Superman the Escape (SFMM) is haunted.
Rct3man777 Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Meh, I'm not suprised someone would say that. The "haunting" rumors pop up all over the place.
bombritual Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 A friend and I were riding Gemini at Cedar Point and while we were going up the lift-hill a man riding with his kid reached over to high five people in our train. As he got to my friend- my friend said "excuse me sir I would rather touch myself." This still makes me pee a little bit thinking about it. It was around eight years ago.
Rollerman87 Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Waiting in the bus for parking, we got to see X2 in action. A few of the guys behind me asked each other, "Is that X1 or X2?" I made it clear to them that X"1" no longer exists, and that this is the same ride. Most GP don't even know what makes this ride different from the roginal. Poor advertising on Six Flags' part.
Rct3man777 Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Yeah, most GP doesn't know what a different color scheme, new trains, onride music, fire and fog is! o_o
knottslover77 Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 At Knott's yesterday these kids were talking about going to SFMM next week. One kid said I can't wait to ride X then run to X2 so I can notice differences better. --Jay
Rollerman87 Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Wow, and I thought what the guys I talked to had said was bad. He's going to have a bad day

Myself Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 On Friday I was asked if the Phantom's revenge was a roller coaster.
supertrooper Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Yesterday at SFOG I heard someone say: "I'm going to grab the foot of a person on that train as it goes by". He then scurried off to climb a fence, or two.
MagnumForce Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Hey lets take this shortcut over two fences to get into the park.
Rct3man777 Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 On Friday I was asked if the Phantom's revenge was a roller coaster. LOL.
Rollerman87 Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Yesterday at SFOG I heard someone say: "I'm going to grab the foot of a person on that train as it goes by". He then scurried off to climb a fence, or two. That is so wrong, but so funny
MagnumForce Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Last Time I was at Kennywood someone asked me what time the park closed. Anyone who knows anything about Kennywood knows why this is a funny question.
natatomic Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Ok, this isn't really all that bad, but I can't help but roll my eyes a bit whenever I hear people refer to coasters by their colors. Example (but only loosely based on conversations I've actually heard): "I wanna go back to the blue one!" "Ugh, not the blue one. We haven't even done the yellow one yet!" "What about the red one? It has, like, 12 loops and I hear a whole train flew off last year! Twice! Let's do that next!"
rct2wizard360 Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 In line for MaxAir today, a couple behind me was talking about Kings Island. "OH YEAH I HEARD VORTEX IS SINKING" when did this rumor come about?
christianscoasters Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Last Time I was at Kennywood someone asked me what time the park closed. Anyone who knows anything about Kennywood knows why this is a funny question. IDK when Kennywood closes
