KI Kevin Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Yesterday in line for SOB some I overhead some girl asking "Are we in Ohio?" You should have said, " Yes, but this ride is so big that it travels underground through KY, and IN!!!! It's the only coaster to travel through 3 states!!!! Thats why it's in the Guiness Book!!!" You should have said CA and MA. thats 3 states right there. not to mention the part of the ride where it goes to St. Petersburg. Thats not a state though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creed Bratton Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 In line for the Carousel I heard "Daddy, what's the swine flu." "I'm not going to explain it now, here have some hand sanitizer." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 While in line for The Beast, a kid asked his dad why there were so many pennies laying on top of the water spout thingy. The father told his son that they usually have a water fountain going there, and people toss their pennies into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor66 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 On Friday my girlfriend and I were riding FoF and as we hit the final bunny hop she exclaimed, "OMG they put the last loop back in!" I gave her the weirdest look. I tried to convince her that they never took the corkscrew out last year and she didn't believe me, telling me to ask KIC about it... If she sees this I'm dead... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast1979 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 In brake section for Diamondback: Guy leans over to talk to his friend, "Gee, this sure is a great park you have here, Mr. Wally!" I knew he was just joking around but I still found it funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 At Cedar Point last year I heard a guy tell his family that they better get over to Raptor while it was an hour wait because it's normally a 4 hour wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 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. A couple people asked me at school if I was the first rider. I told them no and they said ok. I mean they weren't idiotic and think there would be shirts saying first, second... Also, someone who works at the park told me there would only be 500 first rider shirts on Friday, April 17, the day before The Day. I was going to argue with her but someone else said she worked at the park, so I dropped it (I already knew she did). Then on Monday 20th, I asked her about it and she said she was wrong. But, she isn't stupid and she is quite nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 However, there are quite a few people with those shirts at my school, three of which were present for the offending comment. Actually, one was standing next to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 On Saturday right after we got off the train, I was standing there taking some DB shots with my cell phone (I'd accidentally left the memory card for my digital camera at home and didn't feel like leaving the park to hit Kroger or Wal-Mart for a new one). A random guest walks by, sounding like he knows everything there is to know and explains that if we want to get some good pics of "the Firehawk", we should go further down in Rivertown to where the final hill is, and that it shoots up a huge rooster tail of water (as if we didn't already know that...).

Oldiesmann Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 A few more funny things I heard today: While standing in line for Drop Zone, I heard a kid talking to his friend: "I can't believe we've been here for 3 1/2 hours and the only thing we've ridden is Spongebob 3D!" Same kid, while talking to his friend about Firehawk: "It's like 30-40 miles an hour slower than Diamondback". This kid also said he thought Firehawk was way better than Diamondback... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firehawk goes 51 miles per hour, Diamondback goes 80 miles per hour. So, really, he was correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I didn't realize Firehawk was that slow. I thought it was closer to 60 or 65. Thanks for the correction though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 While in line for The Beast, a kid asked his dad why there were so many pennies laying on top of the water spout thingy. The father told his son that they usually have a water fountain going there, and people toss their pennies into it. At one point, there used to be a 'pond' like thing after the train leaves the station and goes around the curves to get to the lift hill. I saw a picture of it, I'll be lookin for it and post it once I find it. In line for the Carousel I heard "Daddy, what's the swine flu." "I'm not going to explain it now, here have some hand sanitizer." haha kids are getting to caught up over things these days.... I agree...gotta love what parents feed their children. *Cough* 'Oh no little Billy, hurry up go wash your hands, if not you could get swine flu!' People get way too excited over that stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the correction though. Which proves one of my favorite points. Speed is not everything. Height is not everything. Records are not everything. Size is not everything. See Cyclops, Cornball Express, High Speed Thrill Coaster, Avalanche at Timber Falls Adventure Golf, Space Mountain...or, parkwise, Stricker's Grove, Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Knoebel's Amusement Resort, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigacoaster2k Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 "Magnum has a loop at the end" "Millennium Force goes 80 mph" "You're tall enough to ride that Top Drag Racer" After exiting MF: "Diamondback was faster" (bull****) "How do you get to that big blue one?" "You'll run into a burning building, but you won't ride a coaster that goes upside down?" In line for MF: "This is just like that other one, but it's blue instead of red." (NO IT IS NOT!! And it's not RED, it's MOLLY ORANGE!!) ALL heard on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSalsa Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 While in Eiffel Tower, I saw 2 kids look at SOB and say "That's The Beast". Probably a common mistake, but still...I chuckled a bit, knowing that the original Beast was well hidden in the woods, not plainly obvious like SOB is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGatorHead 8904 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Overheard a few weeks ago while waiting in the brakes before pulling into Beast's station: "What's that building over there?" "That's Tomb Raider." "It's that tall? I thought it was all underground!" (Funny... I don't remember the queue line taking a downward slant anywhere... although the ride itself does tend to be down a lot...) Overheard during The Racer walkback at RWW, near the old Flight Commander site: Father to son: "That right there used to be the queue area for Flight Deck." (I know Flight Deck has a long queue, but all the way back to the opposite end of Coney?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 A young mother, loudly trying to brag about being a local, to her little child: "Ashley, it's nice that we only live a mile away, and can come here anytime we want, unlike some people who have to drive a long time and can't come everyday." Little girl: "Mom, quit saying that! You've told me that three times already!" Mom: "Shhh!"

In 2007 Nickelodeon was filming at Kings Island and it was about Beast. The person on the show is on the Eiffel Tower and is talking about Beast and the whole time the camera is angled at Son of Beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
