X2coasterfreak Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I asked someone at school yesterday if they have ridden Terminator. They said it was te worst ride in the park and Psyclone was way better. Then they said the Magic Mountain web site says Terminator is the exact same thing as Psyclone, they just tore Psyclone down for the fun of it.

xVicesAndVirtues Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Funniest thing I've ever heard: (While in the parking lot at SFNE), lady says: "Yeah, I'm RIGHT by the sign that says Six Flags Great Adventure...how can you not see me?!?" If I was on the other end of the phone, I'd either be saying "holy hell, how did you end up in New Jersey?" Most unintelligent thing I've ever heard: (While walking into the Great Escape, toward Sasquatch, the park's new S&S tower complex), man on phone says: "As soon as you guys get here, we HAVE to go on their new roller coaster! It's this big tall thing that goes up and down, like the Boomerang!" Worst thing I've ever heard: (While in line for Millennium Force), not necessarily "GP", but ride operator says: "Millennium Force is the best roller coaster ever made and everyone knows it. It wins awards all the time for it. Remember, Millennium Force is the best. Not Kingda Ka, not Superman, Millennium Force. I've never even wanted to go to a theme park outside Ohio, because I know nothing can be better." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xVicesAndVirtues Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 ^Exactly. I'd have no problem with it if he said "trust me, guys, I've been on Bizarro and Kingda Ka and Millennium Force totally wins!" but, he hadn't even been on either coaster he compared it to...I wanted to run up to him and be like "ehh, Kingda Ka is just "ok", but you really need to go ride Bizarro before you go saying that!".

Or he's just jazzing things up. The ride hosts there get really proud of their rides, and if MF takes first in the Golden Tickets, they're going to spout that. But he was probably just joking around. Why shouldn't they have fun on their ride and play off like working on the best ride ever is great? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkman25 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 ^I agree. I mean, I operated all kinds of rides this summer and even when I was on the Tilt-a-whirl a said it was the best ride in the park. It just makes the guests experience more fun, and increases the happiness of that specific ride. I mean, perhaps the guests just waited 30 min to ride MF and were upset that front was another 10 min, but when they hear it is the best ride it made it more worthwhile and made there stay better.

Angry_Gumball Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 In line for SCBB's Wipeout (An indoor breakdancer 'dark ride') someone asks me what kind of ride this is as the line started just several feet into the beginning corridor. You can't see anything other than purple walls, and all you can hear is loud surf techno music and screaming. Fortunately I had a video clip on hand I could show them. They then ask me "Will I get dizzy?" How am I supposed to know their ride tolerance? I did warn them as far as being light sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christianscoasters Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Guy from my church: I went to San Antonio a few years ago. I had a great time. We went to Six Flags and the next day we went to Fiesta Texas! Me: Six Flags bought Fiesta Texas a while back, so it's Six Flags Fiesta Texas now. It's the same place. Guy: They added a new theme park? This is the same guy who went to "Sea World in Kansas City" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbydinn Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 ^^^^ I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at something not said by Robb. When we went to Little Amerricka my friend informed me that Mad Mouse goes off the track at one point. He said if you lean against the side the car will tip and fall off the track and we will die like on kid did. My other friend thought SFGAM was closing. Although that's not the dumb part because it was when they filed for bankruptcy and we had heard they cancelled food orders because they said the park might close. The stupid part is when he said that if they don't close it they're going to move the whole park somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capitalize Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 As far as Six Flags parks closing, since the bankruptcy, stock de-listing, etc. news started flying I've heard plenty of GP talking about how all of Six Flags was closing forever or which in particular parks going to close forever...

deathbydinn Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 At Mt. Olympus in line for Hades I met a very odd perso named Tom who seemed like a coaster freak but he was dumb in the fact that he thought wooden coasters could only be 90 feet tall. Anyway while waiting he starting calling random people the "fag gang" and said he was gonna push them out of the car at the 90 foot drop off. After he said that so many times I got mad and said, "What freakin' 90 foot drop off?" Him: The big one up there! Me: Thats not 90 feet its 150. Fag Gang: You just got pwned by a little dude. Also when getting off that ride when our seatbelt was way too tight making the ride horribly rough I got off and said, "Holy frick" Then I heard someone say, " That kid just came up to me and said holy f***k...laughter. Also while waiting for Hades some little kids starting calling me and my friend stupid, ugly, retards, my friends shoes bisquits (WTF?) and they put an ant on his shoulder and thought it was the most hilarious thing in the worl. The little one also told me to turn around so he can kick me in the crotch. Really made the time pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkologist Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 It's been a while since someone posted in this topic and I'm sure some of us have heard many new weird things said by the GP. I'll start: Back in October at Worlds of Fun I was getting off Boomerang and a guy behind me said, "That is the BEST ride ever!" I looked at him like he was retarded and he gave me a real funny look. Another: I was in line for Cyclone Sam's at WoF and a lady said, "Did you hear that this ride spun so fast one time that everyone flew out and died and it's going to go soon." WTF? These were both at Worlds of Fun on the same day--I hear a lot of weird things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OFFice357 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 While waiting in line for HRRR, I overheard a couple of teenagers ahead of me start talking about a "roller coaster" in Japan while we were waiting for the mechanics fix a problem with one of the train's restraints. Teenager 1 - "Dude, did have you heard about this crazy roller coaster in Japan?" Teenager 2 - "No, what about it?" Teen 1 - "Well I heard that it was the fastest coaster in the world, it goes like 120 mile per hour!" Teen 2 - "Oh yeah! I think I've heard about that. Don't you need a oxygen mask to ride?" Teen 1 - "Yeah, I think so." Teen 2 - "I think it's because the cars aren't closed and you are open to the wind" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 This wasn't a stupid thing, it was actually one of the more thought out things I've heard a GP say... GP walking past Screamin' Swing at Knott's I heard a girl around 15 years old say something funny. she said "What a rip-off. We paid to get in, why would I pay 5 more bucks for something that sucks!" She got a laugh at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatertot3710 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 My dad usually doesn't go with me to amusement parks, except for the family trip to Knoebels in the summer. On weekdays at Knoebels they only run one train on coasters. When we end up going to a larger park (I.e. Dollywood this summer) he's absolutely amazed that they run more than one train on coasters, he thinks it's dangerous or something. And he's also amazed that they charge for parking (but of course he followed his amazement at Dollywood with -- "I guess we're paying for another boob job). So it's not necessarily a stupid thing, but more-so clueless GP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinlee Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 The seats on X2 are off to the side of the track. Why don't they fall off? The line on Deja Vu takes too long. They should run two trains. All steel coasters are faster than wooden coasters. That's why Pony Express is faster than GhostRider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
