| | | Ride speeches.
Do you have the speech from your ride memorized? If you do say it. Here goes.
Welcome to Talon. Oncoming riders please secure all loose items you are carrying with you. Enter the train, pull your shoulder harness securely down to you and fasten your seatbelt. Sit up, facing forward in an upright position with your head, back, and shoulders against the seat and hold on to your shoulder harness until the ride comes to a complete stop. Also please keep all parts of your body inside the train at all times. If you need assistance notify an attendant to help you. Thank you and enjoy your ride!
Welcome back! We hope you enjoyed your ride. At this time unfasten your seatbelt, lift up on your shoulder harness, exit to your left and walk carefully down the exit stairs. Thank you for riding talon and enjoy your stay here at Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom. |

| | | They made us learn them during training. We call them verbals. I know all my verbals for all the rides im certified on. So this post isn't huge, I'll post my favorite one...Thunderbolt.
Attention riders! Welcome to Thunderbolt. Please secure all lose articles as clementon park is not responsible for lost or damaged items. Please remain seated at all times and keep all arms hands and legs inside the car at all time. Do NOT ROCK THE CARS, I repeat DO NOT ROCK THE CARS. This ride travels in two directions, forwards and backwards. Please remain seated when the ride comes to its first stop. Thank You, Enjoy your ride on Thunderbolt.
--Then the ride comes to its first stop--
Attention riders! Please remain seated the ride is not over, I repeat the ride is not over. We're just slowing you down to take you backwards. (I swear thats the corniest line I ever heard)
--The ride is over--
Attention riders! Please remain seated until the ride comes to a complete stop. When the ride has come to a complete stop you may push down on the yellow button and push up on your lapbars. Please exit to the left of your vehicle onto the red walkway. Walk DO NOT run and enjoy the rest of your day here at Clementon Park. |

| | They're called spiels  .
I can do the Magnum one from heart. The sad thing is it's since been replaced by a sucky autospeiler... I hate those things.
Loading riders:
Oncoming riders, welcome to the Magnum XL-200. Once you have taken your seat be sure to fasten your orange saftey belt and push down on your black lapbar until it is secure against your lap.
Please secure any and all loose items, including hats, glasses, keys, wallets, phones, or bags. Cedar Point cannot and will not be responsible for lost, damaged or stolen items.
For your safety, picture taking is strictly prohibited so please secure your cameras. Also, keep your hands and arms inside the train at all times.
Tonight we'll be taking you up 205 feet, dropping you down 192 at a 60 degree angle at speeds of up to 72 miles an hour. Sit back, relax, enjoy the view of Lake Erie tonight on the Magnum XL-200.
Returning:
Welcome back (color of train) train, how was your ride? <yeah!>. Once the train has come to a complete stop unbuckle your seatbelt and pull up on your lapbar, then exit to your right. Be sure to check out your photo at the Magnum photo booth and enjoy the rest of your day at Cedar Point, America's roller coast. |

| | | Only some of our rides have those automatic verbals. Joe should really get all the flats those things. Although they're annoying sometimes, it would come in handy. No more worrying about ops screwing up verbals. J2 has the buttons for automatic verbals, but they don't work this season??? The Inverter verbals crack me up, they sound so...odd. |

| | | SFAW's infamous Ultra Twister has an infamous speil. "Moving conveyor, please watch your step." When you wait in line, you hear it, at the least, 30 - 45 times... It sure gets stuck in the head fast, but after riding, you definitely forget it until you unfortunately hear it again by accident... Does anyone know if SFGadv had that same speil?

| | | well we all say something different. It's basically the same thing but with our own little twist. Here's my racer speech
"On coming riders,please find a seat quickly and fasten your saftey belt. If you're a single rider please fasten the seat belt next to you."
After the seat belts have been checked i say:
"At this time please push foward and pull down on your saftey bar. Once your bar is down, please keep your hands and arms away untill one of our attendents checks it."
Then when i get a thumbs up I say:
"All clear, enjoy your ride"
When they get back i say:
"Welcome back riders, when both trains come to a complete stop exit towards the outsides Thank you for riding the racer and enjoy the rest of your day here at Kennywood.
The Jack rabbit speech is
Riders on the platform please stay one step behind the yellow line untill the train comes to a comlete stop. All clear enjoy your ride
Welcome back riders thank you for riding the jack rabbit, when the train comes to a complete stop exit to your right and enjoy the rest of your day here at KW.

| | | Well I'm not gonna list all the speeches I have, but I will list my favorite one which is for the Wildcat Roller Coaster. Now keep in mind, this is my personal speech, which I switch up from time to time. I like to be creative and orginal with them sometimes so people don't get bored listening to the same thing over and over. But I still get them all the information they need.
Platform Speech
"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the Wildcat coaster. While on the platform we ask that you do not eat drink smoke or sit on the railings. Please remain behind the yellow lines and inside the que gates with the doors closed at all times. As a remind you must be atleast 48 inches tall to ride and must be wearing shirt and shoes."
Loading Speech
"Please fasten your seat belts and lower your lapbars. Keep your arms and legs inside the car at all times and remind seated for the duration of the ride. Don't forget to secure all loose articles such as hats, bags and glasses. If you loose anything on the Wildcat coaster it is gone forever and will be auctioned off on eBay. Thank you and enjoy your ride.
Unloading Speech
Welcome back, how was your ride!!! Please unfasten your seatbelts, raise your lapbars and exit to the left. Don't forget anything you may have left behind. Thank you for riding the Wildcat coaster and enjoy the rest of your day here at The Lake.
The eBay comment goes along with the eBay commercial songs I periodicly sing over the mic. And yes, I am crazy, so you don't have to ask, lol.
