Oldiesmann Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 How did we get from accidentally referring to Lake Erie as the ocean to West Virginia being boring? I personally found Camden Park to be quite an enjoyable place, and John Denver liked the state enough to mention it in what is likely his most well-known song... Quote

I personally found Camden Park to be quite an enjoyable place, and John Denver liked the state enough to mention it in what is likely his most well-known song... He needed the word West for rhythm purposes. The song is primarily about Virginia. Didn't stop the state and WVU from proudly adopting it. At least the lyrics are not controversial, unlike, say My Old Kentucky Home or Carry Me Back To Old Virginny. 2 Quote

amandagail13 Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Walking out of flightdeck a little girl pointed to the SOB station and asked her mom what it was. Her mom said "Oh that's the in line concession stand for when the Flight Deck line gets really long." 10 1 Quote
PhantomTheaterKiss Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Walking out of flightdeck a little girl pointed to the SOB station and asked her mom what it was. Her mom said "Oh that's the in line concession stand for when the Flight Deck line gets really long." In two visits this year, I have heard three different explanations of what SOB station is. One 8-9 year old boy told his friends it was The Beast's station, and when further questioned by an inquisitive friend he said "Well The Beast used to be over here but they had to move it because the land made it break". I also have heard "it's where they keep extra Flight Deck pieces" and "it's bathrooms that only open when the others are broken". 2 Quote

Jr for Birdy Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Walking back from riding flightdeck the other day I heard a teenager ask her mom what the SOB old station was and she said she didn't know? I told them what it was and what it is now. Then as they kept walking in front of us I heard the mother tell the daughter how several people were injured and died on that ride so they had to tear it down. I just bit my tongue and released a yawn. 1 Quote
YoungStud Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Youngstud cannot stand when enthusiasts but into guests conversations with useless info. You know the enthusiasts that will go up to a hot girl in line and quote ride height, speed, duration, element names, etc. 7 Quote
disco2000 Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 not new to this topic but a "confirmation"!, but on sunday while in The Beast line, a couple of teens informed me that their dad worked in maintenance and confirmed that Vortex is sinking "like 5 inches a year and used to be taller than Diamondback" 1 Quote
YoungStud Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 A couple years ago a rather obesed enthusiast was in line in front of me waiting to get into the park. He was dogging ttd claiming it sucked cause he got no airtime on the drop. I agree with him but called him out on there was no way he could have even gotten on the ride. After i called him out he then changed his story and said that was what is buddy told him. 6 Quote

MDMC01 Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 "Hey where is applejuice?" "Uh, you mean Alpengiest?" What's funny about this is that I was just drinking some apple juice a few minutes ago! 3 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Perhaps the kid was really looking for apple juice! (That park man thought I meant a coaster. Didn't want to embarass him, so I humored him. Now to find some apple juice!) 6 Quote
Merthecat Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Carowinds People call the nighthawk so many stupid things. Nightwalk That one that flips you upside down (WHICH one that flips you upside down, there's four others that do that!) The blue and yellow one And then there's the intimidator. "Let's go ride dat intimidata y'all" "That one that's 400 feet tall" And my neighbor, who has been to both Carowinds and Kings Dominion, is SURE that the tallest coaster in the world is at LEAST 500 feet tall. I don't even try to correct her anymore, she's very stubborn about it. 1 Quote
fryoj Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 In line for a ride I heard a kid tell another kid that they are tearing down Vortex and rebuilding Son of Beast! Not a bad idea, but still... 1 Quote

jackparanoia Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 On My way up Eiffel Tower two weeks ago, an adult guest insisted that "they were building a wooden exact replica of Millenium Force". He pointed out the footers to me, and said "those footers are for a wooden coaster". I politely nodded, and walked away. I don't want to be the one to kill someones dreams. 6 Quote
Cedar Point Gal Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Yesterday while waiting to get on Flight of Fear, the people behind my sister and I were talking about Cedar Point and Top Thrill Dragster and they said that Dragster is like 80 or 90 feet tall. I was like and just chuckled and asked my sister if she believed what she was hearing. 1 Quote
