HTCO Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 ^ Someone came up to me one day and said... "Delirium went all the way upside down with riders yesterday!?!!" all I could do was have another moment.. 1 Quote
SOBFOF Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 I was in line for Backlot and someone said, "Diamondback is the tallest and fastest ride in the world..." It was actually kinda funny though!! It was like a ten minute family dispute behind me about it. 1 Quote
HTCO Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 ^ I heard one of the ride operators with the loud mic on in the sation of Diamondback say the same thing as the train was leaving.. 1 Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 One of the funniest things I heard last year was as I was entering the Raptor queue. One guy in front of me said, "I hope my feet don't get cut off." His friend turned around and said to him, "You're an idiot." and kept walking. It was hilarious. 1 Quote
KIfan1980 Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 At the end of a night ride on SoB on opening day, a guy in the car ahead of me said "Wow, I couldn't feel the loop at all". His ride partner replied "Neither did I. Did they take it out?" My first thought was that it was two of y'all just trying to see if I or someone else would post it here. 2 Quote
bzahlong Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Overheard some people in The Beast station talking about how the "Son of The Beast" is "sooooo much better". I was wondering what constitutes "better" in their world. 1 Quote
Ki Man Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Someone pointed to Diamondback and asked me what that was. Someone tried to argue with me at Diamondback was "Dynamite" while we were in line for it. DyynnoooMITE!!! 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Well, you must admit many think the ride is a blast! Quote
Ki Man Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Dynamite could have worked as a cool name, too now that I think about it. You board a train of dynamite, the last train to go out and clear a path in the woods for...well, that's about all I got right now. But there'd be fire, and tunnels, and ...yeah. That'd be cool.

G-Force Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 On Sunday the people behind us thought that The Crypt was a haunted house, they were in for a suprise! 1 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 I overheard someone call SDATHC KI's haunted house. It's a castle, people...a castle! ... Quote
skaterboy22101 Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 On Saturday, I had a Viking Furry ride op try to tell me that Diamondback cost a billion dollers. I was like wow. 1 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 On Saturday, I had a Viking Furry ride op try to tell me that Diamondback cost a billion dollers. I was like wow. Hey, I'll take billion-dollar version of Diamondback! That would be 45.454 times bigger, making it either 45 miles long, 2 hours and 27 minutes long, and/or 10,454 feet tall or something! 1 Quote

PKIPoodle Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Wheres The Eiffel Tower.... Stupid People Standing By The Viking Fury... Are you seriously THAT stupid?! Maybe they can spell Eiffel though! oy they ask that everywhere....i work there....and i often get 'is this the Eiffel Tower?' and i want so badly to say 'no this is Drop Tower.' but i got a couple new ones.... in Eiffel Tower elevator after loading at the top: "is this gonna drop?" (oh tower of terror.....how i hate you....) at grand carousel: "where's the scrambler/monster?" (for those clueless, scrambler is right next to us and monster is right across the path from scrambler. at nick height check station, a brightly colored wall with measurements listed for each color, a fellow associate wearing the height band apron was asked: "where do i get my kids measured?" Quote
PKIPoodle Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 What kills me is when the ride ops announce loud and clear that they have just unlocked the restraints on purpose (while still in the loading station or before the restraint checking process), and people start freaking out thinking that the ride has malfunctioned. or the ones who think the ops will leave them unlocked since they did it on purpose....yes i have heard people freak out 'you're gonna put em back down though right???' Quote
PKIPoodle Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 One time when i was in KI's parking lot walking towards the entrance i saw someone point to Invertigo and say "look thats the new coaster the Firehawk!" could be worse. i overheard a guy on top of the Eiffel Tower talking like they're pros about The Beast being the longest wooden coaster in the world and it used to be the tallest and fastest yadda yadda a million facts and uses of the words "wood" "wooden" etc. then say "yeah its that big blue and orange one over there" ( ARE U (expletive) KIDDING ME???) Sunday when it started raining, we took shelter in the arcade next to Larosa's in Rivertown. A married couple close to my age was there too and the husband said that he missed the lake. (Ok so far). Then he asked his wife if she remembered the dolphins in the lake. She said the dolphins were in a separate theater.... The ensuing argument was hilarious! My favorite part was when the wife said "Dolphins live in SALT!! water, you (expletive) idiot" Followed by the husband; "They must have put salt in that lake then" And the wife; "Don't ever try to teach our children anything, ok" Very entertaining, to say the least!!!! ha i woulda died laughin Today at School: Kid: Haven't you worn that Diamondback shirt a billion times? Me: Only Twice. Kid: Well you really love Diamondback Me: Yea, I do. I'll wait 5 hours for it! Kid: But isn't it only 3 minutes long? Me: Yea, so? Kid: So why would you even wait half an hour for a 3 minute ride? There are those in this world who will never understand us. amen Today in School: Kid to Me: I AM READY FOR Halloween Haunt SO I CAN GET ON Diamondback! Me: It doesn't open until 2009, dude. Kid: Uh... no. I checked the webcam and it was complete. Me: What? Kid: Yeah dude, you need to stick with the program, it opens next week. Me: WTF? oh yeah. i got a lot of people pre-DB announcement saying the ride was supposed to open 'next week' (or whenever the announcement date was from when they said it.....some just always said 'next week' or 'tomorrow'...yeah, got a lot of 'tomorrow').....asking where it was etc....once the initial 'are you kidding me' blank stare from shock wore off, i usually bit my tongue and pointed to the cleared area and 'cement pond'.....if i didnt bite my tongue i think i would have gotten fired for my response lol One of the last times I went to CP, as Wicked Twister was coming back into the station, the girl in front of me said "I think I just pooped my pants." I also heard someone on TTD's train yell "MOMMY!!!!!!" right before it launched. That could have quite possibly been me! Uh...the second thing, not the first! I think it is hilarious when people start freaking out about their lap bars. Either when they are getting on the ride and freak out because they aren't latching yet or when they are getting off the ride and have no concept of 'push down,then pull up'. Sometimes I wonder why the ride ops even waste their breathe! ~Ash at the end of Vortex "I HAVE OFFICIALLY BEEN VIOLATED!" i couldnt stop laughing. and yes i too wonder. i think that is one reason the Eiffel Tower speech is no longer required as far as i know...'spiel...spiel...really long loud detailed spiel......any questions about the tower, the park, or any of the rides?' "yeah how tall is it?/yeah, are we able to get out at the top?/yeah, is it as tall as the original" i could go on..... and those are the guests who are looking right at the employee the whole time.

How fast would it be? Terminal Velocitaaaaaaaah! (I don't know how it would apply on a coaster, but somewhere in the neighborhood of 120 MPH?) ...but with $1B, I'm sure they could afford to get creative with some linear induction motors... Quote

CedarPointer Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Next time someone thinks that my first rider t-shirt means that I was, quite literally, the first ever rider (as if there were shirts that said "SECOND RIDER", "THIRD RIDER", and so on), I'm going to slap them. 1 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 I know, right? "First Riders' Club" sounds more accurate. Quote
CedarPointer Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Guests may say the darndest things, but employees say some pretty good ones too. There's a kid I know who works at the park, who was SURE that The Beast wasn't open on Opening Day, and that it wouldn't be included in the ERT, because "a bunch of the crew quit". 1 Quote
Fear the Four Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Well he isn't very smart if he works there. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 What's that supposed to mean? Terpy, who has known some very smart people who worked at Kings Island, and some even still do! Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 I think you took his statement the wrong way Terpy. I think he was trying to say he should have more knowledge of the ride since he works at the park. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Ahhhh. I feel much better now. I defend my park folk! Quote
tigellinus Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 What's that supposed to mean? Terpy, who has known some very smart people who worked at Kings Island, and some even still do! Heck, everyone at Kings Island has a Master's, right Terpy!? Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 In Fun Technology? Terpy, thinking back to the days of the 22 stars... Quote
