The Disneylander Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 While riding Eagle Fortress @ Everland: Note: rough Korean translation. Dude: Why does Eagle Fortress have to be on a mountain? That's %^%ing lame. Dude 2: Yeah, I guess they forgot to cut down the mountain in this part. Note 2: I'm Korean, and lived in Korea until 1998...
Broadwayboy2007 Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 I have a very vivid memory of the last time i was at IOA (6 years ago mind you) and in the last scene of the Spider-man ride, when Spidey "takes your picture". I remember hearing this conversation. parent: Oh! Do you think we can get that picture when we get off the ride? son: I hope so! I was smiling real big!
SharkTums Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 ^That's not weird or stupid. It was actually designed for the onride photo there, but then they decided no one would buy the picture cause you're in stupid 3-D glasses. They DO sell the picture in Japan and most of the time it's awesome looking! Bummer they never did it here!
Broadwayboy2007 Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 ^ wow...I had no idea Now I feel dumb
Broadwayboy2007 Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 ^Yea...you'd think after failing at eating cinnamon and hot wings I'd realize it but nope
BRTeller Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Best one was a Cedar Point employee, working the dragster. Since it was broken like usual I was talking to one of the employees about how tall dragster was, and I said theres a roller coaster before this opened that was taller then millennium. It's name is Steel Dragon 2000, he told me that it fell over! So there isn't a coaster in existence any more. Yes I do realize that it was SBNO and I stated that to him.
MisterP Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 I was in line for Mantis, and I heard a GP scad mention that "This ride is awesome".....how droll.....I wanted to throw my glass of Merlot in his face......
Ace o' Spades Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 I've heard GP say that coaster enthusiasts are nerds. Who knew?
astroworldfan1 Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 This lady and her kid- O my I wonder how this thing is so smart! It knows where wer are! And she was pointing to a map! -Tatum
SFjunkie2010 Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 ^That's classic. I see that all the time. Some people are just so unbelievably stupid.
the sound Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 ^^ I don't think there is anyone in my hemisphere that is that dumb.
BRTeller Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I've heard GP say that coaster enthusiasts are nerds. Who knew? Why would they ever say something like that.
astroworldfan1 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Uh mom? Does "It's A Small World" go upside down? (uncertain if they are going to ride). -Tatum
thrillrideseeker Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Ok since I work at SheiKra and like no one I work with knows anything about SheiKra I decided to see if anyone else at Busch Gardens knows about the ride they work at, so I headed over to Montu!! This was the conversation between a ride op and I! Me- So who made this ride? Op- BMW. Me- How fast does it go? OP- About 90 mph. Me- ... and how many times does it go upside down? OP- 12. I thought it was the most entertaining thing I have ever heard a ride op say!! ~Matthew
gotdane Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 According to the person who was behind me in line for Haunted Mansion, they just added a second elevator. Also, Chuck just shared the story of a lady who was exiting a California Screamin' train who asked him if there were two tracks..."We didn't go thru the loop!" she exclaimed. I told him he should have replied, "The loop is now a prize for the Year of a Million Dreams promotion. Only select guests get to experience the loop...right place, right time."
The Disneylander Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 ^haha evil. My friend's little brother believes that 'Montu' stands for 'Monster Two', since Kumba was 'Monster One'. Go figure...

I did evac training a few months ago there and I was terrified. lol.l I work at TBT. anyways for some reason some people think that scorpion was transfered from another park. Maybe they are confusing it with Cheetah Chase. I also heard this from a lady the other day Lady: "the bigger they build it the better" Me: "yeah sometimes" Lady: "there is this park being built in South Carolina and can you believe they were asking for people to test run the Led Zeppelin and they could not find anyone brave to ride so they tested the ride with water dummies. I would of love to volunteer but they never asked me" HA! I could not help it.
upside down Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 On pirates of the Caribbean at WDW. random guy: Wow, they've changed splash mountain alot since i was here as a kid
christianscoasters Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 In my engineering class, the teacher was asking any of us if we were experts on something of science. I raised my hand and said roller coasters (of course) so he asked, what are they made out of? "Um, roller coasters have all sorts of different materials. Are you talking about wooden or steel coasters?" And he said I was wrong and then he asked, "What is the maximum point a roller coaster can go?" What the hell kind of question is that?!?! I wasn't quite sure of the question, and what he meant, and then he said this (And I was furious ) "He thinks he's an expert because he's ridden a roller coaster! Ya' know, I've read student papers on this, so I know all about them." Yeah, right. Student papers are the BEST source for information
RIP Psyclone Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 ^So you don't know the maximum point a roller coaster can go?
kraken613 Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 I was a BGE by Griffon and someone said its impossible for a coaster to actuly go 90 degrees down. Now 89.9999999 is fine but not 90! LOL I heard something similar at Mystery Mine.
christianscoasters Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 ^^He meant something like the maximum height that roller coasters can't be built anymore.....And we haven't found that yet.
ECZenith Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 One day I was working a parade shift on the Frontierland bridge in the hub and some ducks were swimming by in the water below. A guest asked me if the ducks were real or animatronics.
