Sharman19 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 This just sickens me. Why do certain people judge a ride on something similar? The "GP" are so stupid! The facepalming starts below FunkyMonk's comment. *facepalm* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were surprised to learn that there are amusement parks all over the world... That even surpasses regular GP... This isn't your average, everyday GP. This is... advanced GP.

MagnumFreak25 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 At Perkins: Magnums the tallest coaster in the world In line for Maverick: That's Mean Streak. It's my favorite, It's so awesome how it throws you around just like this. In Gemini's Station: GP 1: It's not scarry GP 2: But it's made of wood! It could fall down any second! GP !: True, but it still isn't scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfkk Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 When i was at Kentucky Kingdom I heard this, "Lightning Run's first hill is 80 degrees, that means when you go up the lift hill the wind hits you at 80 degrees" I had to keep myself from bursting out laughing.

Duff Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 In line for Raging Bull at SFGAm, I overheard a girl in her early 20's tell her friends: "This ride doesn't have loops, but they still make you wear a shoulder harness because it goes so fast."

tatsu_dude Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 One time I was in line for IRat behind an overly GP family when the ride broke down. The family began discussing what could be wrong with the ride when the dad pointed to the ride's tunnel's exit, which always has tons of mist coming out of it, and said "Look at all that smoke coming out of the tunnel! Something must be seriously wrong!" I tried to hold back laughter as much as possible and explain the mist to them, but the guy still gave me a dirty look afterwards.

Some people don't like to be shown they're wrong at all. I learned this when a guy at Hershey was saying that sooperdooperlooper couldn't go upside down because it had lap bars (when the loop is clearly visible) and I kindly explained that quite a few inverting coasters do indeed have them.

VFVSGirl16 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Last time I was at Valleyfair I heard a girl in line for Corkscrew saying "Is this the one that goes upside down?" and her friend actually said "no, the renegade is the one that does". I also heard someone in line for The Wave say "will I get wet on this ride?". Also one time I was in the Fast Lane line because I had a Fast Lane pass and some girl told me "I don't think that's a line" Sometimes I really hope the dumb comments I hear are people kidding, but I don't think they are..

VF15 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Back when I was in 8th grade, my band teacher told us how one time she got stuck at the top of the lift hill for hours on Goliath at Six Flags over Georgia, and she said that a ride op climbed up a rope to the top and told them that they may have to evacuate the ride, and the only way to get down would be to climb down the "rope". Of course, I was not an enthusiast at the time, so I went along with it, but now that I'm an enthusiast, I realized that she was making the "rope" stuff up. Seriously, why would you use a rope to climb down from that height? The GP can come up with the craziest things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatsu_dude Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 There is a stupid story about Superman at SFMM I've heard different variations of at least 10 times over my years at school. They all say an elderly, mentally "off" person (story changes whether it was a man or woman) reached out and grabbed Superman's arms at the top of the ride, and was ripped from the vehicle. He/she then held onto Superman as long as possible before falling to an inevitable and bloody demise. In some versions the the ride actually came to a stop at the top for 10-30 seconds and the victim used that opportunity to climb out. I thought I had finally reached an age where I would never hear the story again when I heard it again last year. I tried to explain how ridiculous and physically impossible the story was when the storyteller replied "Then why the hell would they turn the cars around and get rid of the Superman mannequin at the top?" I did not attempt to explain the concept of marketing, just facepalmed and left the conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmbgo12 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 What? Behemoth? This is SFDK! Behemoth also means monstrously large or intimidating... So I think what the guy was saying was "What's that huge coaster with the Superman logo?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
