I think we can all admit it, that when we have been waiting for a Ride at any park, we have heard stupid Comments or Things that Guests say at a park about Rides. I have a Few Stories. I guess you get the Idea.
<BR>
<BR>This one happened at SFWOA. I couldnt help but overhear a conversation between 2 people over by BKF, it went something like this.
<BR>
<BR>1st Person - Hey, do you wanna go on BKF
<BR>2nd Person - I dont know man, the Line looks pretty big, I would say that looks like a 1hr queue to me(All the Queue was full up, but 3 trains were running, and it was only 20 mins actually)
<BR>1st Person - Dont worry Man, Look there are running 5 Trains on it, So the line will move pretty Quick.
<BR>
<BR>5 Train Huh,If only, If only.
<BR>
<BR>And Next, I have this story from PKI.
<BR>
<BR>I was queueing up for Face Off and was nearly on the ride, when this Guy behind me realised the ride was only running 1 Train(Well, its not like it can run another Train anyway) anyway, he then turned to me, and said, Hey do you know why this ride can only run 1 Train, Trying not to laugh, I explained that the ride only have 1 Track, so it cant run anymore Trains. He then said, But Surely they could run a second train somehow, and then believe it or not, he was actually examing the ride trying to figure out why exaclty it couldnt run 2 Trains(ummmm, I just told you,lol) It was so Hilarious, I was desperatly trying not to laugh, of course when coming off the ride, I have a good laugh then, but how dumb can you get. Also This Guy seemed pretty normal, did not look Drunk, and seemed pretty serious when asking the question.
<BR>
<BR>So, any of you got some good stories<BR><BR><font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: PaulD on 2001-07-03 15:22 ]</font>

When I was in the line for Twister II, this idiot who was with another guy and two girlfriends was bragging about how much he knew about roller coasters. Then I heard him telling him that Twister II is a hyper coaster, asd it was voted as the number one coaster in the world! <IMG SRC="/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif"> He also said that there is no other coaster like the mind eraser, and that "it is the first inverted coaster built in the west" What a moron!

i heard people saying how STE went two hunded miles per hower(excusable) but then i heard sombody talking about how GASM(SFGAdv) used to go 100 miles per hour, but since some girl fell off, they showed it down. i also heard some side splitting story how you need to hold on tight on stand up coasters, or you'll fall out.

yeah, that last one about stand-up coasters has a reason behind it... <IMG SRC="/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif">
<BR>

Many funny things happen at SFGAdv. Instead of hearing funny things, actually, I <i>saw</i> funny things. One thing I saw wasn't very nice. I saw these two really big, muscular italian men beating the crap out of an innocent, cute, little poodle allowed into the park on "Family Day". I had to edit some of their words out so nothing would be inappropriate <IMG SRC="/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif">.

<BR>#1:Look over there (points to a little poodle about a foot long, leashed to a pole near a garbage can)
<BR>#2: (pause) Check this out (Kicks dog in ribs extremely hard)
<BR>(dog whimpers)
<BR>#1: Hahaha look at that little fella whine. (hits dog again)
<BR>(Beating Continues)
<BR>#2: *Darn*, here comes a *female dog*. She is <i>fine</i>. Come check her out with me.

that's funny... <IMG SRC="/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif">

You bunch a sadists find cruelty to animals funny ??

and another thing Pauld...maybe I didn't get your joke, but Flight of Fear runs four trains.

He said Face/Off not flight of Fear. And that Poople Thing, I just hate that, They should have been thrown out of the park forever!

Flight of Fear doesn't run four trains it runs three (If you were trying to be funny you might want ot use a wink <IMG SRC="/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">)
<BR>
<BR>I heard once on Batwing that it was the world first flying rollercoaster and it was the tallest and fastest in the world (since I am me I had to correct her,it was fun)I can't really blame her, on the SFA commercial for it it says "only at Six Flags America" so it is sort of misleading, for the GP.

On line for Steel Force at Dorney Park...
<BR>
<BR>Guy: Yeah so you ready for this coaster?
<BR>
<BR>Girlfriend: I don't know... its really big... I'm scared!
<BR>
<BR>Guy: Don't worry it probably only makes 7 G's.
<BR>
<BR>Girlfriend: Is that a lot?
<BR>
<BR>Guy: No there's coasters that do about 20 or so... thats just so little kids dont pass out though... we could probably take around 30 or 40.
<BR>
<BR>Girlfriend: Oh, ok... good!
<BR>
<BR>I had to turn the other way so he wouldn't notice I was holding back laughter. Luckily, that was in the station, but we got on different trains... on the way up the lift, I told my brother the story and we had a good laugh all the way up that long lift.

I was getting on Rolling Thunder and one kid claimed it was the first coaster built in the US...
<BR>
<BR>Another kept claiming that this was Medusa, and that the purple and orange one was Rolling Thunder...
<BR>
<BR>At Dorney I was told that Steel Force was inverted...

It amazes me the things common folk say

I was in line with a woman, and I told her that the back seat is most intense, because it is pulled throught he drop faster by the front of the train.
<BR> She said "Yes, thats centrifigul force!"

If you want to hear some really stupid stories that are true. Pick up "Mouse Tales".
<BR>
<BR>The book has several sections, all about Disneyland. All the bad stuff (lawsuits, deaths, scandals, etc.) and some funny stuff as well, which is why I like the book. There's some stories that are just so crazy sounding, but I know they're probably true, working around tourists for a number of years in Orlando.

OK, this isn't a guest comment, but this came from the Mantis's height stick man (at the beginning of the queue) to two kids running toward the entrance:
<BR>"Slow down! The ride isn't goin' nowhere."
<BR>I though that was bizzare, as 'ain't' would have been more typical word used in this type of double negative.
<BR>Oh, and in line for the Wildcat at CP, there were these 3 crazy girls, probably freshmen, whose conversation went about like this:
<BR>Girl #1 : Hey look, it's Mrs. (insert name)! ya know, our teacher?
<BR>Girls 1, 2 and 3 : Hey Mrs. "Murphy"! Mrs. Murphy! Mrs Murphy!
<BR>Girl 2: Look what I won Mrs. Murphy! See, see?
<BR>Mrs. Murphy: That's very nice.
<BR>Girl #1: I hope we have a blue car, but we probably won't get a blue car, but nlue is my favorite color, see there are 3 blue cars, which I wanna ride in one, 'cause blue is my favorite color...
<BR>Girl 2: Oh, looooook! There's a telephone on the wall!! (She makes a ringing noise and makes a "pinky thumb" phone) Hello? No, he's not here, can I take a message? (The other two look away, disinterested) C'mon, laugh! I'm funny! (she proceeds to laugh wildly)
<BR>Girl #1: Oh, we got a blue car! Look, we got a blue car!
<BR>
<BR>I wanted to smack them, they were unbearably annoying.<BR><BR><font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: CPFan2005 on 2001-07-03 18:35 ]</font>

<BR>Sorry but that would never happen. If it actually did happen, I hope those idiots get some amount of time in prison.

I was in line for Villan and these two guys started talking about how this ride collapsed a couple years ago. Which was funny because not only did it not collapse a couple years ago, it wasn't even built a couple of years ago(this was last summer).

Last night while in line for hypersonic a guy proudly proclaims to his girlfriend "Yeah they use inertia on this thing to blast it off from 0-90 in 1 second!" hahahaha he was serious too....

OK, I used to work at WDW and here are some of my favorites...
<BR>
<BR>1. The most common, of course, is when a Guest walks up to you in the Magic Kingdom and asks, "What time is the 3 o'clock parade?" I swear, they REALLY ask that.
<BR>
<BR>2. I was working at the Backstage/Backlot Tram tour at Disney/MGM when this woman walks up to the loading dock. She looks over at the tram (we called them shuttles) parked in the loading area which is like twice the size of a semi-truck and painted bright fire engine red. The doors were open because guests were boarding and when the doors are open, the tram's tires are clearly visible. She looks at the tram, turns to meand asks, "So what is this, a boat ride?" I said, "Excuse me?" She asks again, "Is this a boat ride?" I said, "No, it has wheels, it's a tram tour." She says, "So it isn't a boat ride?" Keep in mind this was like 7 years ago, way before anyone had even heard of Rhino Rally.
<BR>
<BR>3. Also at Disney/MGM, I was crossing Sunset Blvd and this woman is looking at the Tower of Terror and then at her map. This was several years ago when they color coded each section of the map... for example all of Main Street was the same color. She sees me and comes over to me and asks me where the Tower of Terror is. I look over at it and then make a point to look way up at it and then say, "There it is!" She says, "Oh, it's pink!" "Yes, it is" I say. She looks at her map and says, "It's green on the map!" I say, "The whole street is green on the map! Didn't you notice that things were more than 1 color in the park?" She looks at me cluelessly and walks away. DUH!
<BR>
<BR>4. At Disney/MGM A friend and I were at the entrance to the backstage tour. This woman and man are arguing about 30 feet away from me. The woman sends the man over to us and he asks, "Where is the ride where you are in a boat and then a shark attacks the boat?" "Do you mean Jaws?" I ask. "Yeah," he says, "where is Jaws?" I say, "Jaws is at Universal Studios, which is a different park about 15 minutes from here, this is Disney/MGM Studios and we don't have the Jaws ride here." "Oh, OK," he says and goes back over to the woman. They argue some more and she sends him over to us again. He says, "We are looking for the Jaws ride, you know where you are in a boat and then a shark attacks the boat. Where is that?" I say, "That ride isn't in this park, it is in another park called Universal Studios." "OK" he says and goes to the woman again. They argue again and she sends him to us a 3rd time. I say, "Why don't you just bring her over here and I will explain it to her myself!" "Good idea," he says and brings her over. She says, "We want to go on the Jaws ride where you are in a boat and the shark attacks the boat. Where is it?" Before I can answer, my friend says to her, "Listen, let's say you want a Big Mac and you go into Burger King and ask for a Big Mac. They are going to tell you that they don't have a Big Mac there, they have the Whopper. If you want a Big Mac you are going to have to go to McDonald's. Bascially, ma'am, you are here at Burger King asking for a Big Mac and we just don't have any. Have a nice day." I just crack up laughing and have to walk away.
<BR>
<BR>Those are just some... I could write a book!

one day when the park first opened this year (in april), there was a van sitting to the side of the hill of hypersonic and it was for a rap station. We turned the radio on to hear what they were saying and the announcer started telling everybody "You gotta ride this thing. It goes from 0-60 in like, 6 seconds."
<BR>
<BR>That made me mad, but it was funny how close they were to the ride and how off they were.

19 year old friend of mine: "Man, you'll never get me on a coaster!"
<BR> 10 minutes later, after riding the Vortex at PCW: "WOW! that was amazing!! Let's do it again! What was I scared of?! YEAH!!!" (The funniest part was that he was jumping up and down like a six year old afterwards.)

<BR>Somebody didn't do their research job. <IMG SRC="/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">
<BR>
<BR>I always like hearing people talk about the rides while they are in line, especially if they don't know anything about coasters and are on a particular ride for the first time. Sometimes you can have fun messing with them.

I was at PKD last year and there was this kid in line for the Anaconda talking about a "flying ride at Great America people call 'the Superman'" that's "like a thousand feet tall and goes a hundred miles an hour." of course I knew he was talking about stealth and I almost corrected him but realized it was futile. Also that day, we were on the White Water Canyon ride and my friend looks over at the rubber balloon part of the boat and says "Intamin River Rapids Ride...haha.. 'Intamin'?" while only earlier that day he was raving about Volcano and weeks earlier about S:ROS when we went to Six Flags.

One time two years ago when i was working on the patio at the pizza place I walked by this table and a guy shouted out, "excuse me, can we ask you a question?" I walked back over to the table and he said to me "We're having this discussion about tomatoes. I think its a fruit, and she (points to his girlfriend on the other side) says it's a vegetable. What do you think?"
<BR>
<BR>After pondering this, I said "Vegetable"

tomato's a fruit and that had nothing to do w/ coasters

This topic doesn't either. Re-read the topic and then tell me that I'm wrong.
<BR>
<BR>And it is a vegetable

i was at SFMW on the 18th of march and was in line for roar and these people where like lets ride V2 next it looks cool(me and my friend were cracking up) then V2 was nothing more than a pile of dirt and incomplete footers the track and supports werent even on site

<BR>Anyways, back to the subject.. At PGA, I was waiting in line for Top Gun and this group of people, a guy and a few girls were talking about a story I have never heard before.... Apparently, Top Gun has broken down in the past and suddenly started going a hundred mph.. Did it just blast out of the station or something? Yup, it must have had too.
