Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

[rcjp]

I get it that many people get exited after riding a certain coaster which may lead them to say it is the best ever. I remember people saying that after riding Millennium Force (which, for me isn't even the best ride in the park) but that's ok. Now, saying that about Manhattan Express.... come on!

[gerstlaueringvar]

We've got one more. Look at the 7th, 8th and 9th hash tag!

[rcjp]

^Well... yeah. What can I say?

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!

I was able to convince people GateKeeper went underwater and they were going to get soaking wet, some of their expressions were priceless.

She must be taking some GOOD painkillers if she thinks this ride is the best coaster ever.

"Never knew they had a loopy loop"

"That riad is candave like tiaten"

"That roller coaster seems like a ride for ppl from the age of 8-13. "

Wow, 3 highly uneducated GP members in a row!

Forgot to post a good one I heard at Busch Gardens Tampa!

 

[probably referring to Cheetah Run] "They's the most fast, agile animals on the planet; there's no way they're not jumping over that fence!"

 

And talking to a friend on the bus, I got "Didn't they take out Son of Beast's loop-the-loop because someone died on it?"

 

And according to my parents, roller coasters kill more people a year than planes...

When I was younger, I was once part of the General Public.

 

I used to call steel coasters the coasters that have inversions and wooden coasters the coasters that don't have inversions.

 

So whenever I was at Legoland, I classified Technic Test Track as a wooden coaster.

MindBender at SFOG- So after riding a few times, I start walking down the exit ramp and this dad in front of me started telling his little girl about how the MindBender goes as fast as the big coasters. I assume he was talking about hyper coasters. I don't know if he was just lying to try to get her to go on something like Goliath with him or if he was just being GPish.

I remember at Kennywood probably 11 or 12 years ago, I was riding Raging Rapids and these two women had no clue that they were going to get wet. For those who've never ridden it, there are speakers constantly blaring out that you will get soaked. Their reactions were priceless.

[reissecup]

i really hate it when they complain about something being a rip off of something at their home park, completely ignoring the fact that it was built AFTER the "copy"! i've even seen people say demon drop is a rip off of tower of terror

[reissecup]

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."

lmao he thinks riddler's revenge was the first stand up coaster

[coasterbill]

I don't really blame people for saying that a mediocre coaster is their favorite when they haven't ridden many coasters and don't know any better. I remember a few years ago I was trying to get my girlfriend into coasters and when she rode Hydra at Dorney she thought it was the best coaster ever. She just loved that JoJo roll. Obviously once she rode more coasters she didn't think Hydra was all that great but I understand why people who haven't ridden many coasters think mediocre coasters are great and I can't fault them for that.

Trust me, I've seen so many people who have said "Talon is a rip off of Patriot." It's really annoying when people who don't have their facts right think they do have their facts right.

[christianscoasters]

^It's somewhat true, just reversed. Kinda sorta. Patriot was modeled after Talon. They are very similar, and Talon came first.

Are you... Siding with the GP?

Likely lying to get her to go on bigger things. I do this with my little brother all the time. The only thing that got him on Runaway Mine Train at SFGAdv was the fact that I said it was 20mph instead of 40

This was on the Gravity Max video:

Legoland is more higher than this

[cfc]

^Maybe Legoland has more weed.

[MayTheGForceBeWithYou]

^Legoland Amsterdam?
