StXBomber Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 After seeing Boddah's sig, I thought of making a list of the top 10 things you hear repeated at PKI on a daily basis. Right now I am just asking for suggestions, and me and some PKIC staff members will vote on the top 10. Of course, I haven't asked the PKIC staff members to help vote, since this was a spur of the moment idea, but if they don't vote, I'll make the decisions. "This is just a friendly reminder that all shoes, sandals, and flip-flops must be worn throughout the entire ride on Zephyr. Once again, You MUST wear footware to ride Zephyr. If you have taken your shoes off, please put them back on at this time." "But they're gonna fall off!" "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." (only heard repeatedly on a busy day, or if you like standing in the FoF hanger when no one is in there for no apparent reason) "The greatest game in the world!" (Fifty billlionz imaginary dollarz to whoever can say where this is heard) Last, but definatly not least... "For your safety as well as the safety of those around you, we ask that you please to not sit, stand, or climb on the handrails." Quote
DragonLord Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 There is nothing more annoying than Lucky Striker screaming that out into the night when the park is closed and there is no one around. You can hear it on the other side of the park for crying out loud! Hmm... something I hear everyday... "I lost my baby!" Of course "baby" can be filled in with "friend", "husband", "wife", "kids" and a slew of other things. Quote
Skylab Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 "Welcome back riders, Gillette Mach 3 hopes you enjoyed your ride on Top Gun." Quote
StXBomber Posted January 24, 2004 Author Posted January 24, 2004 LOL! Good one there. "What do you mean there is no smoking in line?" (thanks of Dragon Lord) "Help! I can't get out of my seat!" Quote
AZ Lifer Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 After getting off of sob: "My head hurts." Quote
M & M Productions Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 I forgot to add to that..............after they throw it around and loose it. Hey can you get my basketball for me? Quote
Coney_man Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 "Keep All Hands And feet in the car @ ALL TIMES" thats the one i can remember.... but not all of them Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 I can only speak for myself, but I think it's a great idea! I'm in. Here are a few that I hear from a frequent guests' perspective: "Hey, don't you want to win your girlfriend one of these stuffed animals?? Oh, come on! Look how easy it is! I know you can do it! Come on! Why are you walking away?" "Hey, do you really work for Arrow?" I get that about 10 times a day whenever I wear my Arrow Dynamics polo shirt. "Welcome back riders. We hope you enjoyed your ride." "Attention ladies and gentelmen, in just 15 minutes Paramount's Kings Island will present 'A Fireworks Spectacular'" ::Someone cuts into a conversation:: "Actually, the King Cobra IS still here. I assure you, it's still in the park!" ~That one's for you, CoasterGuy "This ride is nothing like Cedar Point's..." I hate those guests. "Where's Top Gun?" "...the Eiffel Tower is approximately 1/3 of the size of the actual Eiffel Tower located in Paris, France. [bad joke] [bad Joke] [bad Joke] Please exit to your left and you are welcome to stay on the observation level as long as you would like." "Oh, my God! It almost goes vertical!" That was my ex girlfriend's famous quote after seeing Delirium for the first time. "I heard they're getting a floorless coaster in 2005 that's 680 feet tall and has 115 inversions." Quote
goldeneaglecal302 Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 "Sorry, but this ride is being shut down for the rest of the day" Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 "Sorry, but this ride is being shut down for the rest of the day" Actually, what I hear a lot is: "Attention guests, this ride is experienceing technical difficulties, it will reopen as soon as it is deemed safe for your enjoyment." Quote
StXBomber Posted January 24, 2004 Author Posted January 24, 2004 LOL @ the first one. Gotta love the games people for trying though. Quote
M & M Productions Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 Attention Tomb Raiders......We are experiencing technical delay............... Quote
goldeneaglecal302 Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 3,2.................... (You get launched at 2 without you knowing.) Quote
m@ilman Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 My all time favorite is with little kids: "..uh....uh...UH....THE RESTRAINTS WONT GO DOWN!!!!...EXCUSE ME!!!...MY RESTRAINTS (crying) MY RESTRAINT!!!...PLEASE HELP!" and everyone else on the ride/staff is laughing...lol Quote
goldeneaglecal302 Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 "Please dont take any of the items off of the exhibit that is here: Quote
delirium123 Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 "CAUTION. The splash pool depth is only 12 inches. Please remain in you boat until the lifeguard assists you" -Rushing River something like that Quote
StXBomber Posted January 25, 2004 Author Posted January 25, 2004 Wow, we are getting some good ones here! I'll make the final list sometime during the week. Quote
PKIDelirium Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 How about the "As the ride begins to lower..........." line from Zephyr? I hear that every darn time I go to Coney. Quote
StXBomber Posted January 26, 2004 Author Posted January 26, 2004 Haha, it was prolly me saying that alot. I loved working that ride. But I would bet the lucky striker went "Greatest game in the world!" more than I said the end of ride speil. Another one I just thoght of that happens at Lucky Striker... "WE HAVE A WIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!" Quote
SixFlagsNow Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 As a former GR employee I can say... "Have you seen a cell phone?" As a former Ecology employee I can say... "You couldn't pay me enough to do that." (I usually told them that $11.00 an hour was enoug for me.) Quote
Stitch Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 Guest "What Happened?" Employee "The Ride is currently down" Guest "Do you know how long it will be" Employee "We aren't sure right now, maybe you should go enjoy some other attractions and check back later" Quote
StXBomber Posted February 4, 2004 Author Posted February 4, 2004 I will give Boddah the list of suggestions on Friday and we will make the top 10 together. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Riders welcome back please push down on the lapbar and exit to the left Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Attention Tomb Raiders the ride is experincing techical diffculties and our team of expert staff is working on the problem right now Quote
CoastersRZ Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 There is also the Son of Beast Spiel. "Welcome back riders, we hope you enjoyed your ride. Push down then pull of on your lap bars, exit to your right, walk down the exit ramp and have a nice day at Paramount`s Kings Island. Oncoming riders, step into the seats directly in front of you. Sit up straight, hold on tight and enjoy your ride on Son of Beast." Then there is also the recording on The Beast`s second lift hill "Caution: Please keep your hands down and inside the car. Please remains seated at all times. Thank you!" Quote
