WHODEY2007 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 A case of an employee saying the darnest thing... Around 1pm, on a rather busy day, a deer was running through the park, close to where Diamondback is now. A security officer happened to see this, keyed up his radio, and instead of asking for a park police officer or security supervisor, he asks for one of the firefighters. The firefighter's response was classic! "Is the deer on fire?" I went home with my face hurting from laughing at that visual! Maybe this could be used for an idea for the next Halloween Haunt attraction? 20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB1 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Deer On Fire... I'm going to start a band and we're going to be named "Deer On Fire!" If you need someone to play the didge, call BB1, he is probably one of the few in the Tri-state who can! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Totally forgot to share this here - while working, a kid - 12 or so - came into the Banshee store and asked, "Is Banshee a water slide?" Once he was gone and we respectfully told him no, I think we all died a little inside. A water slide... 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_Plummer Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I was in line for Firehawk last year and a family from California behind us said, "I remember when Kings Island had Top Thrill Dragster. I rode it when I was a little boy." I was about to start laughing because one, the man was around 47ish so in no way would he have ridden it even if it was at KI, and two, because his son (around 10 or 11) asked his dad if they could go on Firehawk after this, even though they were in line for Firehawk. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonofbeast2.0 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 So I heard one when the train rolled back in from AE. I found this a LOT funnier than I should of...The Ride Op asked "How was your ride?", and a kid yells "turkey!", then ride op said something like "Sounds good!". For some reason I found this really hilarious. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticsTimber Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I always overhear guests say ride names like The Banshee, The Diamondback, The Firehawk, etc. Shameful. McThwaggy used his iPhone using Thwaggatalk. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Heh, last time I went, during ERT the operator on the mic was telling us all to enjoy our rides on The Banshee. I thought about the people here that drives nuts 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 They'd have loved the many, many people who called it "The Son of The Beast." And that was BEFORE riding it. You should have heard what they called it afterwards. Or not. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyTheDinosaur Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 My wife likes to tease me by adding "the" in front of every ride name. Also when we're at a Dragons game singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game, she adds an "s" to the end of Crackerjack just to irk me. Grrrr. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBandjammin3 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 You won't believe the things I hear at work there on a daily basis. "Where is the Eiffel Tower?" -No explanation needed. "Can you see if the parking is on my Gold Pass?" *facepalm* "I'm not paying $15 for parking. I'm turning around." my response..."Uhh, no you're not.." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Back VII Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I heard someone in line for Intimidator 305 say: *Drum roll please* "Is this a roller coaster?" -I wonder Someone on Griffon asked me: "Is this that Griffon thing we heard about in the line?" -Does it look like it? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people make this question seem really stupid, but in a way, it's a valid question. Most likely they're asking how they can get to it... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 ^You COULD tell them that it's in Paris. Or Doswell, VA. Or Las Vegas, NV. You wouldn't be lying to them. I don't recommend doing so if you work at the park, however. Having a job is typically a good thing. -Homestar92, who used the word "typically" because he has worked at Cracker Barrel. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermillionlove Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Guys, I'm one of those people that says "The" before ride names. Also I sometimes don't capitalize titles. I'm so sorry. :blush: I also get old names mixed up with new occasionally. Hehe, my friend will call Firehawk Firefox sometimes, not trying to be funny, it just comes out that way. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myklhicks Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 guest exiting Banshee: "you wanna know an even better ride? Magnum at Cedar Point. it has the biggest drop of any roller coaster and goes 86-90 mph." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterOhio Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Guest looks at Banshee, and asks operator"Does this ride go upside down?"I heard that once, and I almost turned around and said "Nooo, that is a completely different ride." 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 You'd be amazed..on Corkscrew, at crowd (turnstile) people ask that. Sitting in my chair looking, hmm, what do I see in front of me.. Sigh..you have no clue how much faith in humanity I lost there.. To get to Cedar Point, you have to cross the Ocean Erie then once there, make sure you ride Magnum Force. Easiest way to get there is take the train and get off at the second stop 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfanatic83 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I had a coworker tell me yesterday that 2008 SFOG Batman: The Ride incident happened on Vortex.

Ride On_17 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 One time someone in line by us at Millennium Force asked me if Dragster had an underground tunnel, and was freaking out because she thought it did. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markr Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 This past Sunday while waiting of Banshee, a girl in the neighboring switchback signals me and asks "Can I go ahead of her?" When I look at her with a puzzled look, she continues " I'd like to ride with you"-not sure if those were the exact words but they were something like that. I continued walking and ignored her. That was absolutely creepy. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 A few guys behind me in line for Banshee were discussing Flight of Fear being down. "But what caused the fires?" (At this point I was rolling my eyes about crappy news coverage and wanted to shout "there were no fires!") Another one of the guys answered in a self-assured manner "they were running it too fast, to make the line move more quickly." He said it with such conviction, it ended their discussion, because the matter was resolved. If he was making it up on the spot rather than repeating bullcrap he heard somewhere, he should go into politics because even I thought for half a second "whoa, really?" 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
