KDrideop Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Today at KD: Teenage Girl: (points at Shockwave) "Isn't that the Griffon?" Father: "No, that's at Six Flags" Me:*facepalm* I can probably double this entire thread with stupid guest quotes from my days as a Ride Op, but that one just stuck in head all day.
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 (Response to a question polling what the scariest ride was) This ride called the Tornado . There was 5 rotating sections with 4 seats a piece and when you started spinning it felt like you were about to crash into the other sections which would most likely kill you since your spinning at like 100mph and about 50 feet high. This was Somewhere in Houston when I was 9.
Thunderhead Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 People ask me if I can point them to Diamond Falls... and I politely say that it was torn out years ago... yeah...
dippindotsguy8 Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 ^At Valleyfair, people always ask where the Flume is, and they don't respond well when we explain that it was removed two years ago for the wave pool.
tiger01 Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 One thing I like about the public is that when a ride breaks down they cheer when the ride gets fixed. I love that sound! It happened at Air today. People were stuck in the station in the fllying position for 10 minutes! I waited it through though because I was in the single rider line right in the station.
imawesome1124 Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 I know someone who said that Volcano is the fastest roller coaster in the world, and that person had been on I305. I also saw a video on Youtube of Goliath at SFOG, and the title of that video was "FASTEST ROLLER COASTER IN THE WORLD!!!".
osm Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 I know someone who said that Volcano is the fastest roller coaster in the world, and that person had been on I305. I also saw a video on Youtube of Goliath at SFOG, and the title of that video was "FASTEST ROLLER COASTER IN THE WORLD!!!". I saw a POV of SFMM's Goliath that said "tallest in the world." How deliriously ironic.
UberBeavis Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 I don't think you know what the word 'irony' means. Goliath at SFMM did have the world record for tallest drop on a full circuit steel coaster for a few months, until Millennium Force opened.
LeeroyBennagins Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 This is more ignorant than weird but here you go. On Thunder River at SFOG today, we were floating by the water cannons, where a family of African Americans were standing, this tool on my boat yells to them " Don't shoot me I voted for Obama" Everyone on the boat just looked at him like what in the hell did you just say.
braztaz Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 ^Is it bad that I laughed? Oh, and my friend said that "Apollo's Chariot is so stupid, it doesn't even go upside down!" ....ugh,

Oh, and my friend said that "Apollo's Chariot is so stupid, it doesn't even go upside down!" ....ugh, LOL I laughed afterwards, but seriously that is one of those type of comments you make inside your head and not out loud.
signaltwo Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 I'm not sure how many times I've been referred to as the "DJ" when sitting in the operator booth of my ride by guests on the train. Of course I'm not sending your train out or anything, I'm here to play the music. And by "play", I mean turn the station mute on or off and let the park loop flood my station. The rest of this control panel is completely for show. See, look at all the pretty lights blink!
chickenbowl Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 "I'm leaving the park now, less then a half hour ago I rode bizarro and after going down the first drop, on the way up the loop my shoulder restraint unlocked and moved halfway up. I didn't know what was going on I thought it was about to open up all the way on me. I know there are belts that hold it down but this was the scariest moment of my life. I told the ride operator about what happened and they all seemed to become freaked out and stopped the next train from being launched and closed row 5. I'm very upset about this and it will probably be a while before I'm back " -SFGAdv's Facebook.
imawesome1124 Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 I heard two things this week at school: "Apollo's Chariot is the worst coaster ever, someone got hit by a bird on it." "In Alabama there is a 1,000 foot coaster that shoots you off a building." I told the girl that it was in Las Vegas and it wasn't even a coaster. She believed me, thankfully.
_Brandon_ Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 This was posted on Great Adventure's Facebook: "i am 5'9 will i be able to put my hands up on eltoro without hitting my hands"
Inukaza Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 "Where can I buy tickets to the Cheetah Hunt after party?" /BGT facebook. There is no such after party.
jjune4991 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Gotta love those facebook folks. Giving a whole new meaning to looking forward to the future generations...
imawesome1124 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 "I hate Six Flags because there's too many white people there." -African American girl talking about SFA.
Bigcoaster95 Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 My entire Marketing class tried to convince me that Kingda Ka wasn't safe because it goes faster than 100 mph. Then I tried to tell them that there is now a coaster faster than that and they thought it was a bad idea to have it in the middle east because it might get blown up by terrorists. Have to love public school.
Hugecoltsfan Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 For some reason my friend is stuck on the idea that on Volcano:The Blast Coaster a train got stuck coming out of it so the fire kept burning everyone over and over again
BaMiTsPaT Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 ^sounds like Final Destination...what is it now 5? haha
Hugecoltsfan Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) While looking at BBW on youtube, I see this comment. They actually removed it because the coaster was to low to the ground in spots. Some idiot lost his hat and hopped the fence going to look for it and got his head sliced off. You can still see the cement foundation for the poles though. Have you noticed how all the other BG roller coasters are high flyers now? This is why WHAT!!?!?!?! Edited May 12, 2011 by Hugecoltsfan
