Cmhornblessed Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Yeah its very sad but I don't think i'll be getting on AE anymore after this season. It was terribly rough and jerky. I've discovered that in the front, after dark with sunglasses on to make it totally dark makes AE a really great ride..Sent from my SM-S767VL using Tapatalk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeastFarmer Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 @Maverick44, you just have to know where to sit. As much as I love The Beast, I have ridden AE more this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I was... um, I mean, Sam was... the host of Slaughterhouse on Saturday, counting out the groups and letting them in the door. As she was going into the door, the last woman in a group asked Sam, "Didn't this building used to be Tomb Raider?" Sam asked her back "Does this building really look tall enough to you?" The guy at the front of the next group started laughing and Sam said "Just look at this building..." (pointing to Slaughterhouse) "...compared to THAT building!" (pointing to Madame Fatale's/The Crypt/Tomb Raider). 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGatorHead 8904 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I remembered another one from this past weekend: I / Sam the Butcher was letting groups into Slaughterhouse and a couple with two small children, about 3 and 5 years old, came up with the children wearing No Boo necklaces. I told the mom, "Just to let you know, the No Boos aren't valid in the houses and you have to turn them off." The mom proceeded to turn the daughter's No Boo off and told her "Don't worry, they won't scare you, they'll still be able to see it." I told her "No, they WILL scare anyone who comes into the house, the No Boos don't work in there." The mom then told the girl again "No, they won't scare you." I let them in... I said "Well, I warned them..." to the two groups of guests that were next in line in the regular and Fright Lane lines. That then started a conversation between us about the No Boos. We don't purposely target those with No Boos, we target everyone, but a lot of times we'll go easy on the little kids. However, with the pop scares it can sometimes be impossible to tell who you're popping out at in a group. Needless to say, the kids came out crying. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Wow. Kind of surprised there aren’t age requirements on some of those mazes, especially that one. 3-5 is really young for that kind of thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JubJester Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Just heard a guest say that they're building "The New Beast" and it should be ready by next year. Why did no one tell me this?!? I should listen to the Dippin' Dots guy more often. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaestroJr Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Today I figured out that not only is Orion over 500 ft tall but it’s also the tallest in the world. If only they knew that it wasn’t even tallest in the State. Where do they hear this stuff? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t gonna explain to those kids that they were off by 200 ft and spoil they’re day by looking like a know it all, but I still think it’s funny how dumb and misinformed people are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be funny how misinformed they are, but it's sad the way they're all in on that misinformation... Odds are you could have explained it and they'd think you were the one who was wrong... They'd rather not learn than appear wrong in front of their friends... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the few times I did interact with young kids, I tended to use my nice farmer voice (as opposed to yelling at them in my scarecrow voice). As a point of reference, this was when I was placed midway through the maze and I was scaring and giving directions. EDIT: As a last note, that was my favorite spot, Spoiler at the end of the haybale room as there were so many options. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thabto Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 On opening weekend, while waiting in line for the Banshee queue to open, I heard someone say that they thought the Delirium tower was part of Banshee. And then later while in line for Racer I saw some guests in line looking over towards Adventure Express, they said that was the old Vortex station. Since that was passholder weekend, I would think that they would know those things. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion13 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 This was at Cedar Point by the way So I was in line for Steel Vengeance and this was my first ever visit to Cedar Point. I could see Corkscrew's lift hill, but since I was new, I didn't know what it was. So I asked my friend: "I wonder what ride's lift hill that is." And the kid that was in line next to me said: "That's Mean Streak's lift hill." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Meyer Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Overheard a lady talking to her kids after a ride on Diamondback saying how Backlot Stunt Coaster has been around since 1989. I think she has the wrong park and ride lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Walking towards Mystic Timbers today. Guest to another one of their group: "They added an extra 1,000 ft to The Beast." Luckily they got corrected by another in the group 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyGuy4KI Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 So I forgot to post this from a few weeks ago. Over near the height/help center up front and a person A said: "We are going to go ride The Beast." Person B: "It's not open yet. Person A: ok we will ride Son of Beast, is it open? Person B: No, (avoiding that question) The Beast is getting track work and won't open till May. Person A: OK 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyGuy4KI Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Overheard a conversation this past Sunday that The Beast goes faster at night. The reasoning: because during fireworks maintenance turns down the trim brakes so they can get the rest of the line through faster.

"It's tall enough that you DIE at the bottom!!!" "REALLY??? WHY IS IT OPEN?" honorary mention to people who add "The" to every ride The Flight of Fear The Diamondback The Orion The Invertigo The Adventure Express The The Beast (I've heard it once!) 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
