Teenage boys who flip off the ride cameras. Just rode behind one on Diamondback who didn't know where the cams were so just rode with his middle fingers up the whole time. Wow. You're such a rebel. Nobody else has EVER thought to do that before. Yawn.

People who walk very lethargically in the MIDDLE of the walkways, not to mention theres a group of 6 of them and they walk shoulder to shoulder. People who have no idea how a seal belt works when the train returns to the station, and take 2 minutes to unbuckle their seat belt. People who dont know how the exit gate works. People who scream at the top of their lungs as if they are being stabbed when the train is leaving the station. People who try to tell me "someone died on this ride".

Indeed. Those people should do like I do that time of year--stay home. Let the target market be targeted. Don't spoil others' fun. It's not appropriate. And to those parents who bring their little ones and then want everything tamed down to avoid scaring the wee ones...STAY HOME. This is not the time for timid little ones. If it's not appropriate for your kid, don't bring them.

Biggest Pet Peeve: People who DO NOT use DEODORANT/ANTIPERSPIRANTS!! I can only hold my breath for so long in line

^Buzz bars, no head rests, no seat dividers, comfy seats and skid brakes... those were the days!

I have determined that the reputation surrounding Beast being a great coaster comes from those who were able to enjoy it back in the 70's. Not because the ride has drastically changed over the years, but because it was so different compared to most coasters back then. Beast may not enthrall today's enthusiasts because they have no choice but to compare Beast to today's coasters that have a HUGE technical advantage; but as a six year old back in 1979 there is nothing, and there will never be anything, like it.

I am on vacation visiting family in Charleston South Carolina. My brother and I decided to make the trip to the park for the day for the first time either of us had been there. We left at about 6am and made it to the park a little before 9:30 a.m. it was odd to me there was a line of cars just sitting parked waiting to be let in. I had failed to read they only do ERT on specific days. They didn't start letting cars into the lot until a minute or so after 9:30 a.m. We got parked and headed to the ticket window where thanks to the Platinum Pass we were able to get him a ticket for $37. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the park, some things I really enjoyed, like how compact the park is so it was easy to make rounds and explore instead of trying to plan all of our moves. Then some things I really didn't care for. I dont know if this is normal practice or what but there were four coasters running one train. This was very frustrating as short waits became annoying and much longer than they are supposed to be. I'll just give a run down of my thoughts on each ride, of which none of them are overly good and just kind of mediocre. Intimidator - front seat is boring as can be the back however was a lot of fun just like Diamondback. I did enjoy the turns on Intimidator more than Diamondback but they are pretty much the same ride. They are fun but not great. Afterburn - this was my favorite ride of the day. I like it more than I like Raptor or Montu actually. The exact reason I like it better than Raptor is it doesn't slam your head incredibly hard in a couple of spots like Raptor does. None of the inverts touch Banshee though. Southern Star - it was alright. For some reason I thought it would be more fun. Thunder Road - one train operation. Boring ride, but at least it wasn't rough until the end. Nighthawk - I liked it better than Firehawk but I'm not really a fan of Firehawk and they were only running one train which made me want to punch a Nun. Hurler - This ride was just dumb, the terrible off vibration made me never want to go near it again. Carolina Cyclone - boring and rough. Carolina Cobra - I actually liked this thing. It had me so dizzy with the forces. Ricochet - little coaster was really fun. Vortex - I expected the worst and got a halfway decent ride. I'd ride it again. We also did some of the water park including Dorsal Fin Drop. I really liked that slide and thought they had a pretty nice waterpark going on. It will take a pretty phenomenal ride to pull me back to the park again soon. We were able to get rides on everything despite all of the one train operations and a decent crowd for a Monday.

I know this thread is about pet peeves but please pardon me from deviating to say something positive. I know a lot of of pet peeves have been about disrespectful youth. I have to say that while I have experienced this, I must say that I feel most young people are basically good. I would like to share an experience I had at the park a couple of months ago. Near the front entrance of the park I tripped and fell. ( I won't go into it but it was my fault folks.) There was a minute or so when I was in such pain that I could not move. Then, four young people whom I would say were about 17 checked on me to see if I was ok. One of them said that he would not leave unless they saw that I could get up ok. After I was feeling better, I started to get up and one of them helped me by pulling me by my hand. Luckily, I did not have to go to the doctor-just some bruising. I wish I could have found out those young people's names so I could get in touch with their parents to thank them for raising such decent, kind human beings. Another good example of the goodness of our youth is the awesome staff of KI-need I say more?

^^As someone who works in retail, I must say I am amazed at how often people use bad language in public. When I hear customers drop f-bombs in front of their own children, I am bewildered. It's called decency, and being in a public place. Cuss at home all you want, but not at a place primarily full of families. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Who hear is asking for more breaking? Not Intamin!

Hey opinions are opinions. Since I run KI's fan site, people are always shocked that I don't get a Platinum Pass and don't particularly like Cedar Point. Nothing wrong with the place, I just don't like it. It's just my opinion, and it doesn't necessarily have to be justified all the time.

Hey guys. Made a quick stop at Coney Island in Brooklyn this week, so I wanted to share my experience briefly! First of all, Coney Island is a neighborhood famous for its amusement parks and beaches, which are all located on a few square blocks together along the Atlantic Ocean. The amusement parks mostly blend together, but there are a few different operators. The most famous and historic was called Astroland for many, many years, but stumbled in 2009 and closed. In 2010, Zamperla (a coaster / ride manufacturer) won a bid to operate the old Astroland for 10 years, and has been stuffing the park with its own rides ever since. So most of the rides at Coney Island are part of "Luna Park" (that's Zamperla's park, formerly Astroland, and formerly Luna Park again before that in Geauga Lake style), but there are other operators and attractions strewn about too. All are free to enter and walk around. Luna Park's rides take credits purchased and loaded onto a refillable Luna Card. Those credits can be used on coasters, food, and games. The other amusements take tickets purchased at little kiosks. Here's a map just showing Luna Park's rides, with the grayed out plots representing other blocks managed by different companies or independent attractions. (Click here for big, interactive version) In this map, the beach / ocean is at the bottom with Brooklyn at the top. What's so cool about Luna Park is the history. Not much of it can still be seen (except the world's first Nathan's Famous hot dogs... Is this were "Coney dog" comes from? I mean, probably, right?) but this was a magnificent era back in the 1920s. Like, the kind of place Gatsby would've gone. That last image is from 1905 and shows the park's famous Electric Tower. For those of you who have been around long enough to remember my Tokyo Disney Resort photo trip report (shameless plug, hoping someone comments on it and bumps it), it will look a little familiar... Luna Park was the inspiration for Tokyo DisneySea's INCREDIBLE version of Toy Story Midway Mania, which is located in the park's 1920s-New-York-City themed land. Obviously the park today is not what you'd call "regal" or anything. It's basically a collection of flat rides, carnie vendors, chain link fence, and New Yorkers all jumbled together. The coasters have big flashing signs that really are purely to draw you in and convince you to ride them, because this is a pay-per-ride park where weak performers don't make enough money to justify their operation. Remaining from the old days (1927, in fact) is the Cyclone coaster (POV video), designed by Vernon Keenan and built by Harry C. Baker (means nothing to me, but maybe it will to someone here!). I was speechless at how smooth and wonderful this incredible coaster is. Ultra-padded seats on plywood trains, manual brakes. It's got it all. The Cyclone was 9 Credits, or $9.00. I took pictures, but who's got the time to upload them when they're just mediocre? I'll use some RCDB photos instead, all with copyrights and source URLs. Ask if you can't find the source. (Check out the girl in the front... ahah!) The rest of the park's coasters are Zamperla models. Thunderbolt was the new addition just this year. 125 feet, vertical lift and drop, three inversions. It's a pretty simple out-and-back layout, but with a few neat features. The coolest part to me was a relatively simple move: the "turnaround" part of the coaster is like, 3/4 of a corkscrew that turns into a slanted helix. Check it out in the POV video. It does knock you around but... it's Zamperla. Speaking of which... Soarin' Eagle is a Zamperla Volare, aka one of their notoriously uncomfortable flying coasters. Honestly, I didn't think it was bad. It was definitely a favorite among Luna Park's rides. Is it janky looking? Yes. Is its loading procedure odd and uncomfortable? Does it jerk you around? Sure. But it was fun. It's odd to have to climb a ladder into a moving train car and feel stretchy seat belts lower across your back. Given the option of slowly climbing a lift hill face-down like B&M's or the quick spiral lift, I'd take the latter. To be fair, a recent TPR trip report of Luna Park says this Volare is much smoother than most. It's the only one I've ever been on, so I can't say. But it wasn't bad. By the way, it's relocated from Elitch Gardens where it was simply called The Flying Coaster. (POV video) The park also has a spinning wild mouse called The Tickler and a Circus Coaster for the kids (along with many flat rides), but the only other coaster I rode was Steeplechase, a Zampera Motocoaster (and my second after Knott's Pony Express). There was something so great about this ride, and it was definitely the surprise of the park for me. Pony Express is alright I guess, but if you think Backlot Stunt Coaster is disappointingly short and anticlimactic, try Pony Express -- oh, that's right, some of you can't because glasses. Sorry! Honestly, Steeplechase probably isn't much longer (aaaannnnddd RCDB shows it's 100 feet shorter, actually) but it's a nice, classic experience. The ride looks like an old white coaster, and it's lit so well at night, and it just feels great. The first launch is surprisingly intense and wraps around to the top of the coaster. From there, it's a bit like Volcano (which is probably the weirdest comparison ever made between coasters but what I mean is) because it's smooth, quick, and steady, sort of slaloming and twisting in a very predictable and rhythmic way. See the awesome launch? The coaster looks beautiful and it's just so classic and wonderful. I enjoyed it tremendously. A great throwback to the rides of yesteryear, and a thrilling family ride. It's actually a flywheel launch, too, which is sort of cool to see it on a small scale. (POV video... Compare it to Pony Express' POV video. Pony Express just lacks action. It's a coaster for the sake of being a coaster. Steeplechase has personality and looks beautiful. It feels like a complete ride, even if it's 100 feet shorter.) I guess thematically Steeplechase may be a little to early for Coney Mall, but who really cares? I'd have this ride installed there immediately if I were behind the decision-making at Kings Island. It has a gimmick, family statistics, and a wonderful classic look that fits the Kentucky Derby style. It would look beautiful lit up at night along Coney Mall. Wow. So if you're in the New York area and have an afternoon to kill, four train lines dead end at Coney Island. It's about a 30 minute subway ride from Manhattan, so $2.50. For $40, you get 46 credits which is enough to ride all the major coasters and then some. It's not the reverent and beautiful and historic place it once was. It's a local spot with that Jersey Shore attitude and it's heavily patrolled by security come nightfall... But altogether, it's a nice aside and a cool place to visit with some great coasters. The town owes Zampera quite a debt for taking over and straightening the park out. Also, I should mention. Though it's not part of Luna Park (and thus you need to buy tickets separately from Deno's Wonder Wheel Park), the historic Wonder Wheel at Coney Island is a beaut. The ride with its sliding gondolas served as inspiration for Disney California Adventure's Fun Wheel, which sits on Paradise Bay instead of the Atlantic Ocean. Deno's also has a few haunted house dark rides ($6 each) which looked pretty historic, so if you're a dark ride person, you could have a blast.

My biggest pet peeve at KI is bad language. I've heard such words mainly from other teenagers on too many of my visits, especially this year and the last. If you know me, you know I absolutely detest bad language! I try very hard not to let it ruin the fun I have. And thankfully, I've succeeded.

We can't be friends.

You remind me of two more, Those who hold hands in a large chain the goes the width of the midway. Also those who don't know how to buckle a seat belt. They then ruin the picture for the people behind them, as it cannot be displayed as said finger is in that frame as well.

The Krofft puppets first gained US attention at the 1962 Seattle Worlds Fair. There, they presented a show called "Les Poupees de Paris" that included puppets/marionettes impersonating popular celebrities. They then toured the show throughout the US to great popularity. In 1964-1965, they once again presented the (updated) show at the Worlds Fair in New York. Here's a pic of the 1964-65 Worlds Fair Krofft Pavillion: The show was later presented in 1968 at a large fair in San Antonio. Here is a pic of the pic of the Sid and Marty Krofft Pavillion in San Antonio, where they presented a show called "Kaleidescope." It was at the show in San Antonio where one of the heads of Six Flags saw the production and contacted Sid and Marty to design a show for SFOT. They did and the show ran for years at the park. Originally, the show had a circus theme but it was changed over time. Here's pics of the Six Flags theatre: Other parks took note, such as Cincinnati's Coney Island, and had the Kroffts design shows for them as well. The Cincinnati Coney Island Theatre was located to the left (facing down the mall) of the Lost River, near the parking lot. It was only there one or two seasons, until the park was dismantled afaik. I didn't see the show...( I wasn't born for another year...I am the same age as KI.) But as I understand it, the Coney Show probably originated at Six Flags Over Texas and was likely a duplication. Here's a pic of the Cincinnati Coney Island Sid and Marty Krofft show: The Krofft's transferred the show to Kings Island where it operated in the giant red inflatable Theatre to the left of the Eiffel Tower. Here is the only pic I know of, from the King's Island Krofft Production. I believe (don't hold me to it) the elaborate puppet show that ran at Busch Gardens: The Old Country during it's first season was also a Sid and Marty Krofft production. (I saw this show when I was a kid!) It was through their associations with the Amusement industry that the idea for their ill-fated amusement center "The World of Sid and Marty Krofft" in Atlanta was born. In the meantime, they achieved mainstream notoriety... and lots of cash to fund it... via their immensely popular 1970's television children's shows and variety programs. (PuffnStuff, Krofft Supershow, Donnie and Marie etc) Here's a pic of the map of the "World of Sid and Marty Krofft" in Atlanta... which opened in 1976 and lasted a mere 6 months. I actually work with someone that visited it as a child... and was able to ride the infamous Pinball ride! (Also pictured below.) Does that help?

I'm almost 14 and I hate haunted houses. I've gone to Haunt once and that was just to ride Diamondback and The Beast at night (Both rides were a 2 hour wait btw) and I don't think I'll be going back. I mean I have nothing against Haunt it's themed amazingly but I just don't like it. I like going on Sundays in October and looking at the scenery in the day and that's about it. My dad is the reason we went last time because he is obsessed with haunted houses just like my brother Rick. My brother works at Land of Illusion. I just hate getting scared like that. But for right now, I'm looking forward to going to the park today and get scared the one way I like to get scared. On roller coasters!

Some thongs are for little boys to ask questions about? Oh my! Oh my my my!

And, having said THAT, likes Raptor? Of all things? Then, with that as context, mentions Great Bear? My head hurts.

Teletubbies marathons aren't exciting?

Didn't like Banshee but thinks that Firehawk is "Decent"? That is comedic GOLD right there.

First water rafting ride to have an inversion Too soon?

I enjoy Banshee not having storage bins. Shorts with zipper pockets will never let you down. I also have a pair of pants with zipper pockets for April/early May and October.

^Sadly, teenagers are not the only ones that do so. I have seen a mom...with her young daughter...flipping off the camera. Several times.

Some thongs are for little boys to ask questions about? Oh my! Oh my my my! Thanks. Fixed. WHEN we meet, and we will, ask me about my Dad, me, a Kroger store, and a gorgeous woman in a flashy sequined dress. Thong, indeed.

Sorry for double post but I just thought of one which I might forget. Something that really drives me up a wall is people that complain about haunted houses being to scary! This is probably my biggest pet peeve out of everything. As long as they aren't like physically grabbing you/ hurting you, a haunted house is supposed to scare you! An exception would be if your at a place like Disney World... I've heard this being an issue at Universal Orlando, about a lot of people saying it's to scary and then UOR, toning it back. But if that's true ohhhh the words i'd say to them...

All year I've been told to have a FUN day, to have fun at the park no matter what. To be honest, it's true I do have fun at the park, whether in memories, marathons, or even the semi occasional stroll around Kings Island taking in the sights and sounds of my home park. So, I thought it would be a good idea to share what are things that are fun to do at Kings Island, or any other park. For me, having fun is like I said. Riding The Beast, it just is an experience that makes me smile. Going down into the pit that we know as the first tunnel, or going through the woods at a (somewhat) rampant speed. Or how about starting out my day at Delirium with Early Ride Times, going back and forth, and spinning round and round reminds me of being a child and riding the swings while twisting the chain. Plus, I'll admit it, I'm a fan of spinny rides that go really fast. But, of courseI cannot forget the waterpark. It's the same old slides that I rode long ago, bringing vivid memories of going down my first time, or getting the thrill of my life on Tropical Twisters and Rendezvous Run. It just brings about that warm fuzzy feeling of peace and happiness being at a place that I could unwind at, and have fun at, in my opinion, the best part of the park's property. Oh, might I add a special thanks to everyone at the park who makes the fun work and run properly and safely! #KIBestDay !

I have way more fun "just hanging out" rather than riding particular rides or whatever. Some of my best memories are, and always will be, spending time with friends and family at KI. Those are irreplaceable. To me, Kings Island isn't just a park or a place... it's like home. I've dedicated most of my adult life to that place and I don't say that with regret. I have a degree in marketing, but I can tell you that I learned far more from the park than I did any text book. That worked, what didn't? Why did they do that? Why did that program expand, or why didn't it come back? To me, that sort of thing is far more interesting than what new ride is coming the following year. Checking the promotions page on KI's web site is as exciting to me as actually visiting. I am fortunate to call home to a park where they see the value in adding more and more reasons to visit constantly. I really don't care to see The Avengers in July, but I'm excited to see how it's promoted and ultimately how it pans out.

As my dear father used to say when I had asked "Why?" one too many times, "Some things are for little boys to ask questions about." Terp, whose first word, honestly, was not MaMa or DaDa as his parents were respectively rooting for, but "Why?" He's been asking questions ever since.

I think you nailed it at the top of your post... It's a 3rd party company that has paid for the licensing to solicit character appearances. I think you guys are reading too far into the Disney connection on this one. Yeah, they bought it but it's not integrated into their ecosystem yet. I think it would be a totally different conversation if Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto were making an appearance.

Is this a joke? Like seriously... Really? Think about what you said.... You are on a theme park and roller coaster enthusiast site and you "don't care for the relentless inversions without a break?" You sir need some serious help....

I spent two days at Canada's Wonderland this summer. The Platinum Pass upgrade was almost exactly $100. One day ticket at Canada's Wonderland is $39.99 CAD (or about $37.50 USD) if purchased three or more days in advance. Two days and we're at $75. Now, consider that parking at Canada's Wonderland is $20 CAD (18.75 USD) per car per day. For two days, I'm up to an additional 37.50, bringing the total up to $112 USD. At this point, I'm $12 ahead of where I would have been buying a Kings Island Gold pass and paying my way into CW with a day ticket. Now factor in the 15% discount on all purchases at Canada's Wonderland, and I get to save even more money. It definitely depends on which parks you plan on going to, but a Platinum Pass can more than pay for itself in two days at many of the Cedar Fair parks. You can't forget to factor in things like parking, in-park discounts, and special perks, as those are definitely part of the value. And now, my Platinum Pass has already made itself worthwhile, and if I chose to take a weekend trip to, say, Cedar Point, Michigan's Adventure, Worlds of Fun, or any of the other reasonably nearby parks, it's almost like I'm going for free.

So, so far: Schlitterbahn (which operates water parks exclusively) claims that they expected roller coaster dynamics to work here. Schlitterbahn admits or does not counter news articles that state that test sandbags flew off the slide. Schlitterbahn does not deem it sensible to queue folks on the ground and use an elevator to take one group at a time to the summit. I did not see the Travel Channel special - was this footage of a test raft flying off provided by the park or obtained by an outside source? Again, just looking at the thing gives a particular impression of someone shooting right off the airtime hill. In this day and age, it seems more or less inexcusable that an attraction - even a water slide - would be constructed without the dynamics being worked out long beforehand. Every element of force at every inch of that slide should have been calculated long before it was even announced, and for every potential rider of appropriate size. Then again, Maverick. Drachen Fire. Etc. etc.

Last year's Haunt was my favorite year. I hate the mazes but I love the shows. Last year the had Ed, Hot Blooded, Blood Drums, Graveyard Shift, and the Scream Like a Banshee contest. No matter how busy the park gets you can still enjoy yourself without really waiting in line. I really hope they have a selection like that this year.

You had me at Vekoma.

Go to a park expecting great rides and a great time, you'll probably get it. Go expecting crap rides and not to be impressed, that's likely, too. Enjoy Raptor!

Actually my daughter had a few good experiences with the "Kiddy Pens". She actually asked me to go ride AE(which she wasen't tall enough for yet) while she waited in the KP because she wanted to watch her daddy ride it to see what its like, even if she only got to see me leaving and coming back to the station. She said it looked neat afterwards and told me she wanted to ride it when she was tall enough(which she did, over and over and over :-) )

Good news coming out of Great 'Advencha'. http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2014/06/zumanjaro_six_flags_to_open_july_4.html

^ I get what dtk1376 is saying. The top tier is identical to the middle tier, just with free parking and admission at other Cedar Fair parks. But in your home park, a Platinum Pass looks no different from a Gold Pass (right?). At Disney Parks, a middle tier [Gold] pass gets you 10% off food and merchandise across the resort, while the higher tier [Platinum] pass gets you 15% off. Something like that is a no-brainer and an incentive to upgrade even if Cedar Point isn't in your future. (I think Kings Island is doing something like this now... years ago, passes did not provide a percentage discount, only odd meal combinations impractical for most of us... Anyone else remember the days of "GOLD PASS EXCLUSIVE: Buy 4 Subway footlongs and 3 bags of chips, get 1 Subway footlong and 2 cookes free with the purchase of a large beverage." At Universal Parks, the percentage-discounts mirror Disney's, and the highest tier gets you something like 4 free bottles of water throughout the season and free Express access to attractions after 4 on weekdays. Now, obviously that latter perk wouldn't work at Kings Island necessarily, but remember Kings Dominion's Re-Ride Wednesdays (not sure if KI ever had it) where flashing your Gold Pass let you stay on select coasters for a second ride? Something like that exclusive to Platinum Passes might get people excited to upgrade - again - even if they didn't plan to travel. And think about this: Would it really kill Cedar Fair's bottom line if Platinum Passes were pre-loaded with a one-day Dining Plan? Platinum Passholders are part of a group that has intrinsically demonstrated a desire for a premium experience and a financial ability to pay for it. They seem the most likely to purchase a Season Dining Plan, right? And in that case, giving them a day for free will 1) incentivize purchasing a Platinum Pass over a Gold Pass and 2) let them see how hassle-free** unlimited dining can be so they consider adding it on to their pass. The incentive to upgrade from Gold to Platinum now is entirely based upon whether or not you'll visit other parks, which is fine and works! But probably they could build a more dynamic system that does better, and lures in folks who don't anticipate traveling but still want a premium experience at Kings Island all season long.

May I introduce you to three groups of people?Bean counters Maintenance Senator Markey and trial lawyers Nice to meet you guys.I was, of course, talking about an oblivious average guest.

there are also coasters that pushed the envelope and ended up being a success, Millenium Force, Magnum XL200, The Beast, Flight of Fear the mailman pushed the envelope and many more.

Not that I'm aware of. The park has handicapped parking. The preferred lot is not designed for that. Handicapped parking is. The standards are very strict.

And, in the early days, Cedar Fair tried to change the Paramount Parks season pass program to be more like Cedar Point's. Pass good only at park where purchased. No included parking. It was an abject failure. They quickly learned the Kings Island market is not the same as Cedar Point's. The same was learned at Carowinds, Kings Dominion, etc.

I don't think anyone has ever gotten off of a ride and thought, "I wish they'd add a few brakes" but brakes have certainly been added in response to complaints of rides being too forceful. That's kind of the same thing....

^ That was a really good post.I don't think anyone's discounting the value of a Platinum Pass. You either plan on going to other parks or you don't. If you plan on doing a CP trip (or wherever) it's a no brainer. I just think that Platinum should be just that - a park hopper. With augmented benefits at a single park it's enticing people make a purchase in which the main benefit isn't something one would take advantage of. You want to know why we have Gold Passes? Studies have shown that if you purchase earlier in the season it increases your total amounts of visits. So if you purchased in April you'd make a few extra visits in addition to the ones you'd make if you purchased in early June, and it does not necessarily detract from your late season visits. Whatever Cedar Point does seems to work for them. They're a resort-type deal so it changes the mentality a little bit.

^ The price doesn't start low at Cedar Point's existing pay-per-ride attractions (at Challenge Park). I wouldn't expect any further discounts (beyond the platinum pass 10%) here. If you want to ride it for free, my recommendation would be to try to win a Tweetup. Personally, if I were going to drop $25 at Cedar Point, it would probably not be for a SlingShot ride.

...and better topography, but for Lake Erie. No seagulls were harmed in the making of this post.

Line cutters... A group of girls cut in WindSeeker's line without getting a number. They tried to sit in someone else's assigned seat. Needless to say, there was a lot of arguing.

From the article linked to the in the original post: ... Really? I think Action Park made the same assumption.

People who know they get sick on certain rides and still go on them and then proceed to vomit on my shoes. (Never really happened just a nightmare)
