May 25, 201214 yr Some people cant wait to do some of the most outragest things on rides! What is the wierdest/awesome thing that you have seen someone doing on a ride? I once saw a man looking at his phone on a ride, i think he was typing a text or something!
May 25, 201214 yr Author No.....To think that is like thinking that unicorns neigh out rainbows, BB1 who does not partake in phone technology, but enjoys the ride! Probably*
May 25, 201214 yr To be honest I text while on rides all the time... but its when its over and just sitting on the brake run.
May 25, 201214 yr Author To be honest I text while on rides all the time... but its when its over and just sitting on the brake run. Now that I think is acceptable at a park thats not KI, he was doing whatever on the first drop.
May 25, 201214 yr Some of the craziest I've seen: Rehearsed, synchronized "overreaction" on Adventure Express by about 12 guys as it pulled out of the station. Same words, arm movements, etc. "Aaah! Make it stop! We're gonna die! Aaaaaaaaaah!" Dork in front car on same ride, reaching up with his finger and acting like he's getting a little sample of the "lava" bucket in the monkey temple. Yeah I call it the monkey temple. Whaddya gonna do about it? Choir kids (trying to) sing Train while riding the BLSC. ...("Hey, soul sister, ain't that 'Mister [launch] Mistoooooowwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!")
May 25, 201214 yr Try and touch the tunnel on the first helix on The Beast.... Always ends poorly.....
May 25, 201214 yr One time in line for Flight Deck, the ride op wouldn't dispatch because a kid had his cell phone out; he of course called him/her out on it. I LOL'ed.
May 25, 201214 yr The evening of opening day, this group of college students marathoned Adventure Express something like ten times in a row because of the nonexistent line. Towards the end of that marathon, they started yelling random things as the train left the station, such as "FOR NARNIA!" I'm pretty sure the ride op asked the people who finally entered the line a couple minutes before closing to get in line for their rows so they would leave. ...I may or may not have been one of said college students. Pretty sure that night was one of the best times I've had at KI in recent memory.
May 25, 201214 yr Its always fun to do stupid stuff on rides... synchronized dancing, yelling strange things, etc... haha
May 25, 201214 yr You know that awesome moment on The Beast where the timing is just right and you see another train going down the first hill right before you pull up into the final break run? Everybody waves and smiles and laughs. This happened to me a few times, but on one particular occasion, a kid a couple rows behind me decided to throw a basketball at the oncoming train. It hit one of the supports and shot off in the other direction. Now a few points: 1. How the hell did he get on the ride with a basketball? It was one of the smaller ones that you can win as a prize, but still. 2. Kids are idiots. I know for a fact that I wasn't that much of an idiot when I was younger. I blame hip hop music. (kidding about that last part... Kind of. ) 3. Kings Island security guards are boss because for whatever reason they were waiting outside of the station for the little punk when he got off the ride. I have no idea how they found out so quickly, but they were there. - Collin
May 25, 201214 yr Author monkey temple. Yeah I call it the monkey temple. Whaddya gonna do about it? I call it the fist pump temple.... Its always fun to do stupid stuff on rides... synchronized dancing, yelling strange things, etc... haha Especially when its in dark tunnels in the back and when your on a kid ride and start screaming like your freaked out!
May 25, 201214 yr 3. Kings Island security guards are boss because for whatever reason they were waiting outside of the station for the little punk when he got off the ride. I have no idea how they found out so quickly, but they were there. - Collin Closed-circuit surveillance is your friend. Throwing objects of any kind at an occupied, moving vehicle constitutes assault. I hope they threw the book at... I mean, carefully opened the book and administered level, fair justice upon said miscreant.

May 26, 201214 yr ~never fails; i almost always here someone when they ride a ride @ any given park that is close to the parking lot, & they make mention of seeing there car.
May 26, 201214 yr Not on the ride, but in line for Flight of Fear last week (keep in mind the whole queue was full), this group of kids started clapping, and it made the whole building clap - it was amazing!
May 26, 201214 yr Use of your cel phone while riding whether texting or talking is both against park rules and downright dangerous to your fellow riders-your phone can fly out of your hands and seriously injure another rider. We have repeatedly discussed this on other threads. oops-just noticed that the poster who said he texts while riding waits for the ride to stop. Sorry I didn't read your post carefully.
May 26, 201214 yr ^ And your point is? Maybe they really do see it. His point (I'd assume) is that he finds it either weird or awesome. That is the question raised by the OP of the topic.

May 26, 201214 yr Getting the entire beast train singing john jacob jingleheimer schmidt through out the entire ride. (its only been done once in my presence )
May 26, 201214 yr Author The list rolls on, and on, and on, like this one guy who got stuck in the Down Under Thunder.

That is why those darn basketballs need to be out of the park. Funniest occurence on a ride? Approx. 1985 we had just reached the top of KCKC-and some 12 year old (guess) was standing up and taking a leak from the boat. Far as I know, nothing was done.
May 26, 201214 yr Number One, something should have been done. I actually saw a kid dive into the flume chute at Americana. A security guard fished him out. That thing was so turbulent he's fortunate he survived.

That thing was so turbulent he's fortunate he survived. I am wondering if they had cameras back then, and number two boys urinating in inappropriate places in the park happens more often than you could imagine.
May 26, 201214 yr There are so many, many potential jokes hidden in the last few posts. I don't want to go there! ..."Go there." See, there's another one. Sheesh!
