MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Found a video on YouTube of some good offride shots of Xcelerator at Knott's. Several of the comments, in grammar so bad it would yield weeks of suspension, complained about not getting on the ride. But my favorite stupid comment was this: Innocent asker: Where is this?Video poster: Buena Park, CA. GP (in original grammar): wtf no its knots berry farm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
australianalex Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 On TPR's Green Lantern SFGADv video: I'm tired of seeing the same roller coaster over and over and over again This literally has the same layout as the riddler's revenge, scream, bazaaro, and every other bnm roller coasters. Other than the tiniest differences they're all the same. When are roller coaster companies going to hire some original artists to start building more original roller coasters? Nope, better play it safe and copy another park. Stupid stupid stupid.  Am I the only one who find this comment really dumb? Especially because Green Lanterns layout is nothing like Screams and Bizarros. It has no zero G, it has no Cobra roll, it has an inclined loop?

dippindotsguy8 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 He does have somewhat of a point, though, because lots of B&M coasters feature the same elements (Loop, Diveloop, Zero G, Cobra Roll, Corkscrews, etc). Â Green Lantern is an odd ride to bring that up on though.... It does stand out from the rest (Horrible pun, I know). Â EDIT- Has this guy ever heard of Gerstlauer? Intamin? There are plenty of companies out there that do original stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BkkMan13 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Going down the exit ramp of Corkscrew at Valleyfair! Â Guy 1: Aw dude that was awesome! Guy 2: Yeah! We (he and the friend he rode with) had sex upside-down! Â On the same ride, when these same people were in the train ready for dispatch, the guy that made the upside down sex comment stroked his scarf and said it was fabulous.

Someotherguyuser Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 **When talking with someone I know about the rumored Stark Expo going into DL** Â Me: ...I heard they were planning on putting the Iron Man/Stark Expo attraction where Innoventions was, but they put it on the back burner due to concerns of crowds. I mean, with the new Star Tours, you could only imagine what it would be like... Â GP: Why not put it in Frontierland? There's room over there. Â Me: But that would be wildly out of theme. How would you like to walk through an old west trail and find a futuristic expo there? Â GP: So? Â -________- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someotherguyuser Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Sorry to double-post, but oooooh boy. This is from the Manta at SWSD virtual ride-thru on YT.  Come on... The west coast needs a ride with inversions, besides California Screamin', but that only has one loop. Why cant there be a ride like the Incredible Hulk or something? Florida gets every good ride...  Hmmm.....there's Batman, Revolution, X2, Riddler's, Scream, Viper, Silver Bullet, Montezooma's, Boomerang...oh, and let's not forget the ones in the Northern part of the West coast.

BaMiTsPaT Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 ^You could stand near the exit to Bizarro at SFNE and eavesdrop on several GP talking about how Batman is better because it has these "Loopdy-loops" at any given time of day.

Double0Kevin Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 When I was working at SFDK management decided to soft close the park on Fourth of July one year because the park was still so crowded. A guest asked me why rides were still running and I explained that the park would be open until 11pm rather than the scheduled 10. Â He complained that it was stupid and that Disneyland would never stay open longer. They would close when the said they would. Â I was honestly speechless, how do you respond to someone complaining about getting extra time for free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ27 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (Talking on the phone with my friend in CA today) Him: Yeah so I went to Knott's again Me: So did you get to ride Xcelerator? Him: Yes but it's not my favorite ride anymore. Me: Why? Xcelerator is one of the best rides Knott's has. Him: Xcelerator doesn't do any flips. Me: What do you mean by flips? Him: You know, a flip when you go up-side down or almost up-side down Me: Oh and so a good roller coaster has to have "flips" Him: HELL YA!! It's not a good coaster unless it has flips! That's why Silver Bullet is my new favorite ride because it has 10 flips. Me: (Trying to let the Silver Bullet thing go) So why do some of the best roller coasters in the world don't have "Flips"? Him: It just means whoever is rating these coasters can't handle the flips. Me: Umm I need to get off the phone now. Bye.

simaticable Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 On Robb's POV of Goliath at SFOG: six flags over georgia is a rip off of six flags magic mountain So, how do you say that when SFOG is older than Magic Mountain. Plus, SFOG is at least a park where none of the coasters are in a parking lot.  And then there's this classic: is there a loop How do you watch the POV then ask if there is a loop or not?

(This kid also thinks Xcelerator is faster than SEFK) Â These are things GP always do: -Claim that the best coasters go upside-down -Claim that coasters with no inversions go upside-down -Exaggerate the statistics of coasters -Very creative on finding a synonym to the word inversion (flip, loop, loop-de-loops, going upside-down, upside-downs, spins, etc.) Â 900th post!
