Angle O. Descent Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 The lack of knowledge by the GP doesn't entertain me so much as the language they use to identify the rides. They'll rant & rave about "The Millenium Force" or "The Tatsu" ... it just sounds weird hearing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine constantly refers to Outlaw Run as "The Outlaw Run." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinTheAttendant Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I win this thread. Check out this guy. Here's a taste.  "Why would you like Cedar Point? It's such a dirty and terrible park. Six Flags Magic Mountain cares about quality and is actually clean. So let us continue to enlighten Six Flags Magic Mountain and kill the lesser parks in the world with Cedar Point to kill first."  Check out this link: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqt7ZqZP3wZZk-BLpSf7ZAg  He's definitely trolling. While his insincerity is a bit annoying, I must admit that I got a huge laugh when he said Scream! was better themed than Dominator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideTheEdge Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I watched a video on YouTube last night of two people who were vlogging their trip to Six Flags Great Adventure... Â 1) They were filming on the coasters, and trying to get POVs (which of course, they didn't ask the park). Â 2) According to them, apparently Formula Rossa is now in Dubai. Â 3) They were on Nitro and the one guy said "Yea, I'm pretty sure this is the tallest coaster in the whole park!!". Â Riiight, because Kingda Ka is totally smaller than Nitro...

cfc Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 ^Hmm--probably an SFMM fanboy. Just a hunch. Â I'm glad he wants to "enlighten Six Flags Magic Mountain" about . . . something, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coreysaysyo Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 lol this time I was standing in line for the madam fatale haunted house at kings island, and this guy standing in front of us was talking really loud about how the building used (old crypt/tomb raider) to have an old roller coaster in it and that it was so bad they had to take it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djboss302 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 One of my friends tried convincing me that Hades 360 had an underground inversion. Than he tried convincing me Hades had always had that underground inversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reissecup Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 oh also, once I was watching a pov of maverick and my little sister came up behind me and asked "is that Skyrush?" Â and I know a good way to pee the GP off, "top thrill dragster at six flags great adventure is a copy of kingda ka at cedar point" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2012jarrett Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Busch Gardens Tampa has the best GP ever... Â Kid: Mom, I want to go on that! [points to Scorpion] Mom: Oh, no, sweetie, you can break your neck riding those! Â Guy on Montu: This coaster doesn't have a floor! What kind of coaster doesn't have a floor? Is this thing it safe? Â yeah... -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajfelice Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 In my stint working at Cedar Point, I couldn't believe the amount of people who asked me if GateKeeper was the tallest coaster in the park. Seriously, even from the parking lot Top Thrill Dragster and Millennium Force look much taller without question. Open your eyes people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ccron10 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 As I was walking past Tidal Force to go ride Lightning Racer at Hersheypark the other week, I hear this kid behind me say that he wishes that ride was open right now. It was around 40 degrees out at 9pm in the evening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYZ Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 On an EPCOT Youtube video: Â I really miss Verizons that was the coolest ride ever. Also the original Imagine ride was way better than the new version. Will be there soon. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djboss302 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 While I was talking with one of my friends, he claimed Raging Bull is the best ride at SFGAm because it goes upside down 8 times. I had to show him a POV video to correct him, and he starting saying it was fake. He also called me an idiot when I said SFGAm is not the only Six Flags park.

GwaziBSRider1 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I was at Geauga Lake (SFWA at the time) ten years ago, and I was in line for Double Loop. There was somebody nearby telling his friend that it was the smoothest ride in the park. WRONG. Double Loop's helix beat the crud out of me.
