KIBOB Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 1st person: "we will be getting some big coaters now that Cedar Fair owns Kings Island because they also own Cedar Point" 2nd person: "What do you mean? Cedar Point doesnt have any big rides" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopThrill Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 The one I heard a few weeks ago while waiting for seat 16 on DB, the group behind me was talking about how SOB will mess your back up. And does the park close at 5pm today? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCO Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 While in line for Diamondback: "Why do they have that break going up the hill?" "Its so the car doesn't fly off the track" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronna Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 While at the park last night (5/30), after it started lightning 2 guys ran past us saying "Let's go hit the wooden coasters. No, No, No metal coasters! There's no metal on the wooden ones!" Metal.. shew.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 In line for Crypt: "This ride's like 10 minutes long!" On Crypt, before the ride started: Guest: "Mommy!" Guest's friend: "Shut up, Dave!" In line for Drop Tower: Guest, pointing to Diamondback: "What's that ride?" Guest's friend: "That's Diamondback!" Guest (surprised): "It is???" I also heard Monster referred to as The Spider again... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAHill Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 While in line for Diamondback: "Why do they have that break going up the hill?" "Its so the car doesn't fly off the track" I hope there isn't a break going up the hill. Otherwise, the riders may have more to worry about than flying off the track.

IndyGuy4KI Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Got a few while at the park yesterday. "The new Diamondback ride is just like Top Gun." I was thinking, what? - Okay they got us, they are both steel. First time riders on DB were behind me in DB queue. One goes "This is a really short ride," as they looked at the first hill, the returning helix, and splashdown. I turned around and said no this is one of the longer riders in the park, you just can not see the rest of it. Guests were happy. Saw them later in the park and asked them how they like it and they said they loved it. I did not want to be quoted on here by saying it was the 3rd or 4th longest for I am not totally sure. Anyone know the answer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedarPointer Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Today, a girl asked me how many times The Crypt went upside down. I said "two". Apparently, to her, "two" means "none". Also, on the Eiffel Tower elevator, going down... Guest: "This reminds me of Drop Tower, except it doesn't drop." Me: "Oh, you didn't hear? It's just like Drop Tower now. Drops 200 feet." Guest: "REALLY?!?!?!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiko_coaster Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Today in line for Adventure Express.... This guy said, "oh no worries... it only goes as fast as smell." and then he continued with, "You'd be better off walking the ride, it'd go faster" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofywdw Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Today I learned in line for Blue Racer (Red was not running) that Adventure Express runs backwards. The kid pointed to Red Racer and said that is the one that goes backwards (Even though it was facing forwards in the station). And then his friend corrects him by saying that Adventure Express is the one that goes backwards. I wrote that one down as a note in my phone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cortney Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 The one I heard a few weeks ago while waiting for seat 16 on DB, the group behind me was talking about how SOB will mess your back up. And does the park close at 5pm today? Top Thrill- I hate to say it but for me it did mess up my back the last time I went on it. It jerked me so hard my whole back cracked from the bottom all the way to my neck. So I agree with that statement and don't see that at a darndest thing!

brian tiemeyer Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 We've All Heard Them! All Guests and visitors to KI aren't updated with the park (wink wink, nudge nudge). We've heard things that are soooooo stupid to say are true, we just HAVE to say Ok Post the funniest/oddest/weirdest things that people say about KI "They're tearing down The Vortex, it's too outdated" "They put a loop on AE" "Isn't that the ride where the people fell off the loop?" (Directed from SOB) "Cedar Fair SUCKS SELL IT BACK TO PARAMOUNT!" (Hardy Har Har) wow the 1st one is odd the 2nd what is ae? people didnt fall off the loop and Cedar Fair will give us more rides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 AE are vowels of the alphabet. A&E is a channel on television. Seriously, AE stands for Adventure Express. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan1980 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 While eating dinner at Juke-Box Diner today, my son asked "why do they have targets on the wall". I responded with "no, those are records" before the obvious "what are records?" question came out. I started to respond before saying "never mind" and spent the next several minutes thinking about how many songs I have or had in all of the following formats: 45, Record, Cassette, CD, MP3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I heard some good ones today. The Beast is the oldest and longest roller coaster. voyager is over 200 feet. then this one tops them all, some guy in line for Vortex tried telling me that Vortex is the magnum of Kings Island lol. is was like um they are not even close to being the same lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Forgot to add this, sorry my phone wont let me edit. the guy that thinks The Beast is the oldest roller coaster was also saying that superman was the fastest lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Superman was the fastest, at one time. Magic Mountain claimed it did 100 miles per hour, and perhaps it did. If it's even a roller coaster, many claim it is not. If it is, why isn't Demon Drop? Then again, let's not get off on that here this time! ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperg Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 While standing in line for the SOB yesterday. One kid (around 15 yrs. old) told another, they took the loop & laid it sideways.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Ok so yesterday I am walking to the front gate, so i am in the parking lot, and i see a couple walking away from the front gate, looking at a map and the guy says "Amanda I think The Beast is over there", as he pointed into the parking lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Ha. Most probably he was thinking the one in New England, which is now called Bizarro. In any event, it does 77 miles per hour...certainly slower than Diamondback! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
