Friend: Why would I ride Xcelerator? A girl died on it once.

Me: Actually, no one has died on Xcelerator.

Friend: Prove it.

Me: *Looks it up* A boy was once injured when a cable snapped on Xcelerator but no one has ever died on it.

Friend: That's because Knott's paid the media not to report it.

The GP uses that excuse all the time for not using sources to back up their claims. Once I remember seeing an article from years ago saying that Kingda Ka had dozens of fatal accidents that were covered up.

He tried to defend himself in the comments

 

EDIT: I decided to check out his other videos. Seriously? Banshee at KI sucks? Fury 325 at CW sucks? WHY HAVEN'T YOUTUBE DELETED THEIR ACCOUNT YET!?!?

He's obviously trolling, and judging by the YT comments and your edit, it's working. I love his videos, just cause I love seeing how riled up he gets enthusiasts in the comments.

Queuing for Nemmy Inferno at Thorpe Park:

 

"The Stealth is so boring, all it does is just go up and down"

Read my recent trip report (it is on the home page), to find out why that is all the design now consists of. The plans were much bigger, so actually, they have a point to say that.

Yeah, the person who said that technically isn't wrong.

 

Apart from the fact that they said it's boring. That launch feels like you're going through time!

Oh my gosh!! This may not be GP but it sounds like something they would say. It shocked me as it was on the Six Flags La Ronde website for Goliath:

Any coaster that reaches 52 feet in the sky earns the title of “hypercoaster.”

 

WTF!!!! So, they count this as a hyper coaster:

So this is a hypercoaster?

Some random person sitting with me on El Toro @ SFGAdv last year explaining the definition of a coaster:

 

Him: Have you tried El Diablo?

Me: Yes, but I'm not really in to flatrides. I prefer coasters.

Him: It is a coaster. I've been on it several times.

Yesterday, sitting on the brake run of Wicked Cyclone, I overheard two guys in front of me talking about Cyclone.

 

"Whatever happened to Cyclone?"

"They probably relocated it."

 

I can't even.

 

Then one of them said there were no more wooden coasters at the park, and the other guy said, "Isn't Thunderbolt still here?" It's perfectly visible on the walk to WC, as well as from where we were on the brake run.
