starlitfire Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Definitely not related to coasters, but someone was screaming "Don't forget to like and subscribe!" on Delirium while I was passing yesterday, and while I'm sure said person was joking, it was still funny.

Any single riders?!? Anyone riding alone today, I need 1 single rider please to the front of the line!?!? Guy behind me: We've got 3 in my group!

WhatTheBlazes Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 The gentleman that said that was thinking that since he had an odd number of people they were going to be let through in front of the current group of 3 in front of him, even though the Line separator was just asking for 1 in order to fill the train. I do not think after reading my post again, I had made it very clear that the man saying it, was thinking that having 3 was going to help him and his group get whatever the separator was giving, and was not, in fact, simply answering to let the separator know that they should be disincluded for being a group of 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Because, especially when it is the first people on a new train, two groups of three can be placed together, time and effort doesn’t need to be wasted finding a single rider. And crap like that is how micromanaging separators manage to send out half-full trains often enough to completely obliterate any of the perceived benefit of “full trains,” at the expense of anyone getting to sit where they want. Guests enjoying themselves and getting through the line in a reasonably quick manner should be the goal of the separator position. When they are told or get it in their own heads that their job is “full trains” things usually fall apart. Edit: I see there apparently was room on the /prior/ train for a single, so it wasn’t completely wasted effort. But the above scenario is probably what the guest who said they had three meant, it wasn’t necessarily a stupid thing to say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryoj Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 The guest who said he had 3 may have been the smartest one in the situation. 3+3 and 3+1+2 both equal 6. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 BUMP! I was inspired to post something funny I overheard while in line for Drop Tower today... Some older kid chickened out on Drop Tower and as he got out of line, he said something to the effect of "I'm not tryna die" (meaning he thought he'd die on DT) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodistict Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I went to Kings Island the other day and I was heading over to Banshee when I saw a person throwing mayonnaise packets off of Delirium and screaming on the top of their lungs MAYOOOOOOOOO!!! That was the highlight of my day. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 After his restraint was checked on AE, the teen in front of me looked to the one next to him and said “wait, is this a ride?” In the same group of teens, the spokesperson (only one who had ever been to KI before from what I could tell, but her awareness was pretty sketchy) went on to explain its just a gentle train ride through the woods, nothing to be afraid of: “I mean, it’s called the (sing-songy voice) Adventure Express!” She kept apologizing to the others through the whole ride, saying she didn’t know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TombRaiderFTW Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 ^ I'm now realizing that would have been a great name for Firehawk. Flight of Fear and Fear of Flight. And then name X-base "Flights and Fears". 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Was waiting in line for kings Mills Autos and guy behind us talking to his wife/ kids.

sixohdieselrage Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I heard someone in line for Diamondback a couple weeks ago telling his family how much more reliable Intamins are than B&M. I wanted to correct him, but refrained. Haha 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowball Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Working in KillMart in 2016 or 2017, we had a line that was about 2 hours long. I was in the first room with the registers and the carts. Midway through the night there were a couple of girls standing outside the entrance, already looking frightened before even entering the attraction so I decided to tease them a bit by slowly walking closer and closer to the entrance. Upon entering the maze, as soon as they got their first look around in the front room, they both yell "WAIT THIS IS A HAUNTED HOUSE?!", and ran back out of the entrance. I never saw them again. Somehow they waited two hours in a line for a haunted attraction, hearing all of the screaming and various zombie noises, and the thought never crossed their minds. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JubJester Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 It's amazing how many times I've seen people think the elevator button on the top of the Eiffel Tower will do something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ding Dong Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Not park related but seems like the beat thread for it. Sitting in the lobby of the pediatrician’s off ice and the mom behind me while reading a book to her child is explaining that AD stands for “After Death”. Was just cringing and took every thing I had to keep my mouth shut, but I did. I feel much better now posting about it. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anno Domini (the year of our lord) In addition "After Death" makes no sense as the modern calendar starts the year Jesus was born not after his death. Though of course there is academic argument over the exact date of his birth. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
