goofywdw Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I went tot the park today for a couple hours before work with some friends and we decided to take a nice ride on Red Racer. We were pulling out of the station when all of the sudden a huge glob of spit comes flying down from the exit bridge and lands on my shirt. I was extremely disgusted and didn't get a look at who did it. We came back into the station and there was no one on the bridge anymore. This was the most disgusting thing to happen to me at Kings Island and I cannot believe the incredible low maturity level of some people. Other than that I had a fun day!

CoasterFreak45 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I hate when people spit like that. Ugh. On opening day, in line for Db this guy had spit so much it was almost a puddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoeter Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 That sucks, man. Sorry to hear that but someone did something similar to me on The Beast on opening day. Coming out of the helix and into the brake run, the person two rows up from me thinks it would be cool to hawk a loogie. Said fluid hit me right in the face. I was so ticked.....

HTCO Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Oh my. I'm sorry that happened to you. I would have been frustrated! Yes, I see a lot of spitting at parks and its nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Earlier this season, I saw a security guy grilling three teenage boys about how they would like it if someone spit on them. All three were claiming they had not spit on anyone...but the security guy was there for some reason. I doubt Flight of Fear's roof was leaking on a dry and sunny day...

DaveStroem Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 That is so nasty. Some people are just so gross. Earlier this year I was up in the Eiffel Tower and there was a 20 something ahole that was spitting from the observation deck then he proceded to reach up his nose and pick a winner.

rhoustonh Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 it's a lack of respect. I know what my parents would have done if I spit on the ground at KI let alone at people, it would be an unpleasant hour home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywriter Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Spitting is very vulgar and disrespectful in my opinion, I hate when people do that and it's really getting out of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCO Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 This is just another one of those things where people do it, and its frowned apon by 90% of guests at KI. (Ex: giving the on-ride camera the bird.) And nothing can really help except telling them to stop, which usually won't happen. Due to the fact people are very ignorant now-a-days.

Beast Man Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 While I was on Delirium Friday,some idiot thought it would be funny to spit while on the reide.It flew over and hit me on the wrist.I wasn't too happy at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchdown62 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 If you confront someone who spit on you, do this... Have the ride ops call security or the deputized officers in the park. Tell them what happened, with the other party there, then ask that they be arrested and charged with assault with a body fluid. That could change someone's tone really fast.

TOPGUN1993 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 That reminds me of a incident last season we were next to get on Racer, our train pulls in Then we find that there was a couple boys spiting during there ride and ended up completely covering the seatbacks of the seats behind them. We refused to ride in this train as did everyone else next to get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iChase Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I absolutely hate when people spit in public. It's a sign of low class and disregard for the park. I was in line for Beast Friday and was treated to a sort of special olympics. A group of basketball d****s with Burger King crowns were trying to spit through a hole in the station floor... after drinking a red ICEE! Ugh! They missed every time but once, resulting in a pile of red saliva coating the highly populated front seat queue area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellpo202 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 People still do that??? Gross, when I worked on The Racer back in 96, it was always the Manson crew, the people that were Fans of Marilyn Manosn, and would try to intimadate people, usually one of us would follow them off The Racer if we could, to make sure they did not spit, I remember cleaning all the spit on the back of the seats too, yuck!!

HTCO Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 ^ I thought the same thing yesterday while in line for Diamondback. This 4' 5" probably 13 with no parents, teenage boy was in front of me with a few of his friends. All of relative age and hight. There spitting and acting "cool" and when they made fun of a girl and the way she talked I had to say something. After that they were pretty much dead silent the entire rest of the wait. Sometimes peoples ignorance bothers me... a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianapolisman Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Spitting is something that should go in the trash can if you must. When someone intentionally stands over you and spits on you its a crime as someone already stated. And not one of the bogus crimes like smashing a penny. In a side note, those birds can be rather gross and bothersome too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Cicadas are cyclical, with some on 14 year cycles and others on 17...different broods in different areas...and an extremely mild winter can cause an early emergence, but it is rare...

Coaster Kid Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I was on SoB and i had my hands over the rail near the bottem of the q-line and someone above me spit and landed on my hand I saw who did it and he waited at the end of the ride for me to get off just to apalogive. It was nice for him to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaterboy22101 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Thats why I hate waiting in SoB's queue. Everybody spits off the railing and it's just so nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldiesmann Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 When I was at KI for RWCW, I saw a guy cram a huge wad of chewing tobacco in his mouth. He then proceeded to spit in the bushes every so often... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Last Saturday, while running the Ferris Wheel at Coney, I stopped the ride and kicked off a kid after I saw him lean forward and spit. He was probably 14, and was trying to hit his friend who was riding in another car. When his friends who were on the other site of the ride asked him why he was off the ride, he responded with "I was spitting and got caught." Those same kids later got yelled at by the rides manager after they cussed out one of the workers at the bumper boats. Some times, there are just obnoxious and bratty kids that come to amusement parks, and do not have any consideration of other people around them.
