Gannersdaddy Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Not really said but did. At the park today, we got a nice good soaking rain. Any and all shelter spots were full. Afterward, while walking through Rivertown, I noticed a large line waiting for White Water Canyon to open. 90% of those in line were dry. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCJTheHurricane Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Similar to @VortexBFForever's situation, I was working WindSeeker one day and I looked up and just saw a puff of vape smoke go out to the side from one of the seats... Thought it was a little amusing then told the driver to spiel about not smoking or vaping on rides. Also if I had a quarter for every time I've heard a guest say or ask something about Vortex sinking, I would probably have enough money to dig the thing out of the ground. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 A group of people were discussing how DB was taller than Drop Tower in the queue for DT. Not sure if their mind was changed after seeing themselves being raised over DB? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCJTheHurricane Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I really thought it was kind of hard to believe that people think Adventure Express is somehow the Son of Beast, until I was walking to Vortex today. A woman was talking to her group and said that they used to have Son of Beast but then it became Adventure Express. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicescoot Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 At Surf Dog a child wasn't tall enough to ride and I told the parents the height requirement and they just responded with "they should really put that at the front of the line".......... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 While we were getting lunch at Coney Smokehouse today a group of guests with souvenir cups in hand was hanging around outside the exit. As soon as we opened the door to head out after getting our food, they squeezed past us into the restaurant. I told them "This isn't an entrance" and they looked at me like I was crazy. Apparently walking through the line to get your souvenir cup refilled is too hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 You don't even have to walk through the line. There is a straight shoot from the front door to the registers, bypassing the queue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently walking through the line to get your souvenir cup refilled is too hard. As I have reported elsewhere, many people do that and skip the register and don't get the cup scanned, effectively bypassing the 15-min waiting period... And in some places like International Street Skyline and Hanks and Chicken Shack, these people skipping the line actually slow down the entire line. More times than i can remember, I have literally had food in hand heading to drink dispenser and 7-8 come in through exit and jump in front of me at drinks and avoid register all together... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 While all of that is unfortunate it would be much less of a problem if the park were not so stingy with opening up dedicated refill stations. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco2000 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 ^and get their ice problem worked out LOL. When I would see this happen at Hanks, the refill station to the left upon exiting Hanks was open but empty of guests...with ice dispensed all over and non left in the machines 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixohdieselrage Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I heard some guests talk about "Kings Dominion" while I was there yesterday. They were saying "Why have another park less than 20 minutes away from KI, and why is it they advertise alot of coasters when they dont have any." I later found out they got confused with "Kings Domain" off of 350 in the Little Miami River valley. I thought it was amusing. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JubJester Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 This guy who was with his family took 4 attempts to get past the metal detector. As many people know, metal will go off if you walk through a metal detector. This guy tried to walk through with a wallet, a cellphone, a huge set of keys, and bunch of coins. Each time it went off, he would only remove one of these. Apparently not understanding "remove cellphones, wallets, and other metal items". He asked, "Is it my underwear?" In attempt to be funny. Eventually he had everything out and it went off because of his belt, but he was good to move on. Before leaving he said, "I guess it was just my belt." Apparently he still didn't get what metal was. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chad_1138 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 This is more of a did. We got off The Racer just now and observed a family having their kids climb over the fence by the troll to get a picture with it.
