LimeRockstars Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 What is lame to one, can be awesome to others. What's lame to me.. is usually even more lame to the people I'm explaining it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Honestly, even though I loved the old system, and wish it had never gone away. I still kinda like the crypt. I like the 2 times you go upside down, how it's all slow and you're pushed against your restraints. Sure it's not as exciting, but it's a nice cool off, it's fun on the flips, and you can actually have a nice ride if you would lower your expectations a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGatorHead 8904 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Guy behind me on Adventure Express to his girlfriend, after the last lifthill: "This used to be an Indiana Jones ride." Intoxicated man walking through Snoopy's Starlight Spectacular: "Look at that! The tower's even f***in' Charlie Brown'd up!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, that was my first thought... LOL. Then I saw it at night and all was made right. (sorry for the cheap rhyme there!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyMan98 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 On Backlot Stunt Coaster, awhile back - The train was launched out of the station, but I guess it didn't get enough speed, so it didn't make the top, then went down backwards. The ride had stopped, the guys were saying, "Sorry for the inconvenience", and one lady says, "I didn't know it went backwards!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedarPointer Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Yes they do but instead of saying you need to turn around you could have explained to him why he had to turn around and how that was reserved parking. A lot of people do not read signs nor do they go to websites. Not everyone is in the web world as we know it. So a guest ignoring a clearly posted sign is the parks fault?

Purplehaze Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I did not say it was but as we all know guests do not read signs and sometimes you have to give explanation. And when a guest is just told to turn around it would have been appropriate to explain why so they understand. Once again it is about the patron employee relationship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I know. Thats why it looks like that. But not a real "Haunted House" like the one at Camden Park or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markr Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I guess this should be under guests do the darnest things. At any rate, has anyone noticed a trend of junior high age boys taking off their shirts during a coaster ride and waving it around? What's that all about? One of these days I'm going to grab that shirt from their hand and throw it to the ground. Then they will have some explaining to do when they get back to the station. It is really downright annoying to have someone's sweaty shirt waved in my face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me like you answered your own question I had a problem with that while I was in the park yesterday, and I was actually talking with my ride partner for the day about doing the same thing you'd like to do, but the fact of the matter is that it's really not going to do a whole lot to stop the problem, sadly enough :\ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin_M17 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Well, they took their shirt off. So they CLEARLY didn't want it anymore. I'd say you'd be doing them a service by taking it off of (out of?) their hands 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BavarianBeatle Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Guy at gold pass parking where I was this morning... ME: Sir, Can I see your gold pass??. Him: I don't have a gold pass. Me:well, then you need t o turn around. He gets angry and drives off cursing me. Moral is: people WILL NOT time to read and understand and yet they get mad at me...Like it my fault you cannot take time and have patientance to read the website. You should have called the police and had him arrested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldiesmann Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 On Delirium yesterday, I heard a girl telling her friend that CP had the same ride, but it's bigger and holds 100 riders at a time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lj89 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 A few weeks ago while I was walking past picnic grove to BB Some people holding park map asked us " Is this the way to The Beast?" and I kindly told them they were on the complete opposite side of the park and showed them the right way! I guess sometimes when you go there a lot it is easy t forget that even with a park map people still get confused! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 On Delirium yesterday, I heard a girl telling her friend that CP had the same ride, but it's bigger and holds 100 riders at a time. And next summer, you KNOW guests are going to tell other guests that WindSeeker at Cedar Point (or Canada's Wonderland, or Knott's Berry Farm) is far, far superior to the one at Kings Island...it's bigger, it's taller, it goes faster, it seats more people, and on and on and on....and there will be no telling them otherwise. I, for one, won't even try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 In line for Mantis at Cedar Point, a mother says to her daughter, "I wonder how many times they lose Top Thrill Dragster in the clouds..." Luckily for me, the train for mantis was about to fall down it's first big drop, so when I immediately said, "Wow!..." (In a tone that clearly show's how surprised I am) I was able to point at it, as if I wasn't replying to her comment. I would've kept my mouth closed... but I just blurted that out so fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
