DeliriumDreamer Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 ^ Now that's not nice. (But it's likely to be true.) Don't judge until you've seen me check bars. I compensate for my shortness. Anybody who has seen me check bars can vouch for me. Isn't that right, U.H.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien Seed Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 But still checking bars the wrong way! The true way to check bars is in a straight line. TRTR Rules! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeliriumDreamer Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Don't forget to keep looking over your shoulder to make sure those pouches are zipped! Everyone knows that the right way to go is checking bars in a circle. The way we Delirium ride ops check bars is almost graceful- crossing each other's paths at least twice, and continuing to walk in a circle. No pouches to mess around with- we have 3 metal storage bins to take care of that dirty work. -AND WE GET A TAN!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

familyman Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Man what is the deal with what I call the “Foot boxes?†people will throw al kinds of things in there with all those shoes. Smells like a huge mistake to me. Anyone else ever think about this smelly dilemma? I for one would never throw my hat or some prized stuffed animal I planned on taking home in the “foot box.â€Â..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOB_TOM Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Oh its all about the pouches. Dont forget, you cant do the "Huss Shuffle" without the drumbeat and a straight line of restraints to check. Score another one for the TRC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Kinda Guy Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 why not allow shoes to stay on the moving floor, that way, since it stops in the same place, the people wont be so defensive Read that to yourself again buddy. Why not leave them on the MOVING floor. You do realize when it moves, it angles DOWN...Not a good idea there Oh and Ariel, your not a nice person. You left me that one day towards post season when I was stuck driving Duhlee. Remember, I begged you not to leave but you did anyways. So I think your a hanus b*tch.

DeliriumDreamer Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Sparky, you know why I left... I know you were lonely, and your girlfriend was driving slingshot at that time, but that wasn't exactly a good reason to LOCK ME INSIDE THE DRIVE BOX. I had finished my shift, and I had a very important person to tend to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeliriumDreamer Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 As for the 'foot boxes' are concerned, people put their shoes in there so that they won't lose them. Plain and simple. If they left them on the floor, they would end up in the pit under the ride, and would have to walk around the park all day barefoot. -And the shoes do not change the way your beloved stuffed animal smells. -At least noone has used our loose article bins as a barf bag. -Score one for Delirium.

DeliriumDreamer Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 The wind from the swinging gondola would sweep them into the pit. It has happened before. You're forgetting our 'cheesegrater' floor drops out when the ride starts, so the only place to put loose articles inside the ride area is in our weighed-down metal storage bins. No matter where you put the flip flops outside the boxes and in the ride area, they will get blown into the pit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Snapper Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 That makes sense. Delirium is a great ride but I think MaXair will be better becasue of its suroundings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Rider Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 shoes + teddy in box for small amount of time = no effect. Need I say more? typically you leave that box open until its time to start ride right? if so, no problem... but if everything is placed together, this would be bad if it were all closed in...

Browntggrr Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 This has to be one of the funniest threads that I have seen. So far there has been comments made like: - CP is "pladgerising" PKI with maXair (and that spelling is really funny) - CP is running out of room - PKI is "too safe" - with 3 extra feet, maXair is bigger, and all CP is concerned about is the record - Mean Streak is a smooth ride - smelly teddy bears - how dare CP use the same colors as Delirium - CP copied PKI by adding an indoor waterpark because PKI re-did Boomerang Bay When CP builds a coaster, PKI die-hards rip CP for only building coasters that "pierce the sky" and that CP does not have enough quality flats. Well CP has heard your comments on their ride selections, and they have also heard about what a quality ride Delirium is, so they decide to put one in, and you still rip them. This really makes no sense. CP is not running out of room. This has been a common mistake made by many since 1987 with the addition of Iron Dragon. For comparison's sake PKI has removed rides and CP relocates rides with the addition of most new rides. PKI does have more room to move, so why don't they do that? No park is "too safe". Just ask Six Flags. I never even thought of the "3 extra feet" of maXair until I read it here. CP did not even acknowledge that fact on their website. Mean Streak is not even close to being a smooth ride. It may not require a Chiropractor like SoB, but saying it is smooth is laughable, brakes or no brakes. How dare CP use the same colors as Delirium? Who cares? Does it really matter? CP copied PKI by adding a indoor waterpark after PKI refurbished WaterWorks to become Boomerang Bay. This comparison is probably one of the funniest here. Especially since CP built Soak City in 1988, and PKI did WaterWorks in 1989. Why does everyone care so much about what CP is doing? I have never understood why some PKI lovers hate CP so much. We should be happy that there are 2 great parks less than a days drive from one another. Imagine living near SFMM where they have multiple rides down on a daily basis, and it has been that way for YEARS! Or living in a place where the nearest park is 600 miles away. I just consider myself lucky being close to PKI and CP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HabloRM Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 - PKI is "too safe" No park is "too safe". Just ask Six Flags. This I have a right to bash on about Cedar Point. I experience their "saftey" and it's not good at all. When you have 4 bar checkers on a ride you just "think" it would be safe, but not really. If anything this park sucks at saftey. I hear all these stories about this or that person didn't have thier seatbelt, on and noone noticed it until, the whole station is screaming at their associates. Then they notice and be assholes about it. And on a lighter note: WHO DEY! WHO DEY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Cedar Point isn't safe.....thats why they have such an extensive list of mishaps and accidents under their belt. Sheesh. As many times as I've been to the Point in the last 10 years, I have *never* experienced anything of the such that you just listed. I'm not saying that it hasn't happened, I'm sure it has, but I'm sure a lot of what you heard are simply just stories. Just for the record, the very same thing you mentioned about Cedar Point HAS happened to me at PKI before. So it is going to happen everywhere. Cedar Fair is just as concerned about guest safety as Paramount is and I think they have a pretty good track record to prove just that. Also, props to Browntggrr on the excellent post, finally something with some thought. SO WHAT? Cedar Point is building a Giant Frisbee, I believe there were TWO built in 2004....so whats the problem? Its not like it was going to be exclusive to PKI. Secondly, as Browntggrr mentioned, Cedar Point in NO way even mentioned those extra three feet of height. So no record touting there. Finally, as if any of this will matter. Some people just naturally want to hate ANY park or ride outside of PKI. Come on people, get out a little more. - Todd, who thinks PKI is a great park but also recognizes that there are others just as good!
