| | | Something like this:
"Oncoming riders, welcome to Steel Venom. Please step into your car, pull down your harness and wait for an attendant. Leave any loose articles behind. Riders on the platform, take a step away from the gates in front of you. The gates are now closing. Keep your hands and arms in the car at all times and enjoy the ride."
-harness checks-
This next part started as:
"All right, we're ready to rock. Steel Venom's gonna strike in 3, 2, 1!"
And eventually morphed into:
"Launching in 3, 2, 1!"

| | | Well I don't think it's like that. My friend at school told me it on Friday. He said it was:
"Welcome riders to Steel Venom, when the gates open pleases step quickly and carefully into the train. Remember there are no lose articles permitted on this ride, items such as hats glasses and sandals should be left with a non rider or in the bins to your left. Once seated pleases pull down on your yellow restraining harness and buckle it, if you need help pleases ask a loader to help you. Riders in the station the gates are now closing the gates are now closing. During the ride pleas keep you head and back against the back rest and your hand on your shoulder harness at all times, thank you and enjoy your ride on steel venom!"
Then when they launch they say:
"Steel Venom launching in 3... 2... 1..."
Or they say to fool you:
"Steel venom launching in 3... 2... 1... Fooled ya! LAUNCH!!!!" |

Oh well.
Anyone else noticed that Avalanche's current spiel is incorrect?
"...the tallest and fastest roller coaster in Wisconsin..."
Then you get to the top of the lift and you can see Hades...

You think you have a long speech!!! Wecome to Tomb Raider: The RiIiIiIiIDE (inside joke)!!! 
"Attention Tomb Raiders. Welcome to Tomb Raider: The Ride. As you enter the ride area we ask that you please move all the way down your row stopping at the first closed restraint. Do not go passed them or open them for they will not be used. In front of your seat you will find a small black zippered pouch. Please use this pouch to secure any and all loose articles such as hats, glasses, cell phones, keys, wallets, cigarettes, Lighters, Backless Shoes, and sandals. Any articles not secured in that pouch will most likely be lost when the ride goes upside-down. During the show I will be coming around to collect any larger loose items such as basketballs, backpacks, and large stuffed animals. These items can be retrieved after the ride at the rendevous point which will be on your right when following the outside exit path. Finally, This is your last chance to exit this ride, Once you enter the ride area and your restraints are locked you will be riding. If anyone does not wish to ride they may exit out the door behind me after the show is complete. Thank you and get ready to experience the one and only... Tomb Raider: The Ride!

| | | When everyone is finally sitting down in the theater for Shrek 4D:
"Please fasten your seatbelts and hold onto the lapbars at all times."
People look around, all worried and confused for a second, then "ah, there are no seatbelts or lapbars are there?" Gets people every time, I think it's hilarious. |

| | ^Ya I have to agree about the Shrek thing being pretty funny. People fall for it every time. My brother even feel for it on the second time he rode it.
I hate on Alpengist when this one guy says
"The crew says you're clear, you guys are outta here"
But that guy is still cool because he saved my wallet. 
The other BGW coasters are pretty good though
"Enjoy your voyage to the sun on the wings of Apollo's Chariot"
"Get ready to travel at the speed of fright"
"Enjoy your ride on the legendary Loch Ness Monster"
What makes that one cool is how it echoes throughout the station. I also love the loud sound the station brakes make when it's coming in.

| | | That's not the only one we have at Alpie - there are many more...and they're cool! I'm not going to say the Alpie loading or exiting spiel, because that would take WAY TOO LONG!

| | | ^And we have the mega-awesome safety video in line..."Welcome to Alpengeist, one of the world's tallest, fastest, most twisted inverted roller coasters..."
And my personal favorite..."Enjoy your avalanche of adventure on Alpengeist", but John usually does his own thing ("There goes the floor, and you're out the door") and I like him better...the voice gets aggravating when you listen to it all day, everywhere.

| | | You're right about that. That one is kind of annoying,but at the same time,very catchy,also.Does anyone remember the female voice from Volcano. While you're waiting in line,you hear that female voice with the accent. I miss that one,but they still play it from time to time.

| | For Tower of Terror at Disney-MGM Studios:
As bellhops, in any position, we are basically allowed to say whatever we want as long as it goes with the theming, so there are litereally endless different things you can say, or come up with on the spot for certain questions guests have. For example, fastpass return is "hotel reservations" and you can say "thank you for making reservations".. or "ah, yes, we've been... expecting you. Please, do enjoy your stay." That sort of thing.
The biggest speech you do is in the load position, because for each of the four load lifts, there is one bellhop who groups, spiels, loads the elevator, and sends it. So, everyone comes up with different things to say, and I change it up often, but this is what I've been saying lately. If I have time, I say the whole thing, if theres less time, bits and pieces of it. Another factor is how much the group is listening. If they stop listening then I shorten it and hit the autospiel button, which you have to hit anyway, or the system won't let you advance the elevator. Quote: |
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Hollywood Tower Hotel. Of all the hotels in the area, we are so pleased that you have decided to stay with us this evening. My name is *insert name*, and I will be your bellhop for the remainder of your life-I mean... stay. *sly grin* In just a few moments, an elevator will be dropping by to take you to your rooms (optional - if the group looks like they'll laugh at it - "where you will find a breathtaking view of Hollywood..." even more optional - believe me when I tell you.. its to die for!) Once your elevator arrives, please wait for your row to be called before boarding, and once you are seated, remember to fasten your seatbelt from your left to your right *while demonstrating what left to right is, because you'd be amazed how many people don't know*. (Optional - because if you fasten the seatbelt on your right to your left, your friend or loved one might not have a seatbelt... and you might never see them again.) Remain seated at all times and hold on to all luggage you wish to check out with, because our elevators are a bit... unpredicable these days." (Or, theres the classic - hold onto everything you cherish such as your hats, glasses, cameras, and of course... small children *look towards small child and grin*).
| **elevator arrives, doors open** Quote: |
*call their rows until they are all seated*. "Remember, your seatbelt fastens from your left to your right. Once it is fastened, please double check it by tugging on the yellow strap. We wouldn't want you... checking out early... or worse... and are there any further questions/final requests (optional - cheesy joke, something like "before I send you to your dooms.. I mean.. rooms") ?? Then on behalf of the staff of the Hollywood Tower Hotel, please... do enjoy your stay. If you need anything, don't hesitate.. to scream." *send elevator* | All said with a proper, condescending, snobbish tone & accent. Yes, if I have the energy, I go all out! It may seem like a lot, but keep in mind that the time for your load interval is much longer than a roller coaster's. Between the time you send an elevator and the next one arrives, you have several minutes.
Oh, and the auto-spiels! Quote: Library doors: Ladies and gentlemen: In just a few moments, the library doors in front of you will be opening. Please stand back from the doors, as they will be opening toward you. Thank you.
Load platform: To our valued guests: for your safety once onboard, please remain seated, keeping your hands, arms, feet and legs inside the elevator at all times. And do take special care to supervise your children... thank you. *spanish translation*
Exit: Ladies and gentlemen: please gather your belongings and watch your step as you exit through the elevator doors. We trust your stay at the Hollywood Tower Hotel has been a pleasant one, and please... do come back and see us again. Thank you.

| | | ^Whoa, you have to say that over and over? Wow...
Here's a classic taken from Whizzer at SFGAm:
"Welcome back, riders! How was the whizz?" (at this point everyone in the train cracks up and the op stands there, trying to figure out what he said)
I was at WoF about a week ago, and Mamba's autospiel was broken. Poor guy.
