Jasper Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I woudn't necessarily call this is a habit but: Has anyone realized that people almost ALWAYS classify a Slingshot type ride, or a log flume as a rollercoaster? Peeve! I've also noticed some guests go too far and out of the way by doing something REALLY stupid. Hopefully we'll never see something like this: If this were to occur at KI, I'd think it would be Diamondback's splashdown. For those who cannot tell, he did this to retrieve a lost cap. I would hope we do not see that at Kings Island anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BavarianBeatle Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Much better...... In fact twice as much for the dancers, many of whom I must deal with outside of the strip clubs in my professional capacity..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coney Islander Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 7th graders do get kinda annoying at my school... talking about how club blood is so bad and they snuck in the back because apparently you have to be 18 years or older to get into it I'm above that... 8th grade!!!

CoastersRZ Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Still, a relative neophyte compared to some people on these boards. Heck, I`ll be graduating from Grad School in seven months, and I am still considered a youngin` by some who frequent these boards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiko_coaster Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 hhaha i went to Halloween Haunt and kids make me ****ed. Not only do they come to Kings Island and go in urgent scare with lightsabers and start crying. But THEN these little 13 year olds think they're so cool and bragging about how they've been to a million strip clubs and then in club blood literally puts dollar bills in the girls and guys bras. And my group, the guys, had to take the dollars out... it amounted up to $20 bucks... They use $2 bills at strip clubs these days.... Or so I hear..... Oh at this there were some 1 and 5 but all the money was real.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAHill Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Remember the post about the lost cap kid going into the water, and how we'd hate to see it at KI? Imagine what the gossip from guests would stir up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windshawne Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 once a girl just came up an asked if i wnted to make out!!! Enjoy it while you can. These days, I must look like I'm in the Army when I go to KI because everyone calls me "Sir." Don't feel bad. This year some of my younger coworkers called me ma'am. I am seasoned, not old dammit!!

Geppy41187 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I hate it when guests ordering food at, say, Chic-fil-A freak out at the cashier over trivial, tiny matters, even though the crew are obviously swamped with a dozen other large orders and are trying the best they can and the lines at every open window have been a constant twenty people deep for hours. Also i can't stand guests who complain to the food workers about the, granted, high prices, which the worker has absolutely no control over whatsoever, so there's no point getting mad at them about it. If you're going to eat at an amusement park of any kind, you should probably expect food costs to be a bit above average. And no, i'm not an employee of the park, just trying to stick up for the verbally abused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 ^ They all think they're the first one to come up with their complaint, too, no matter how clever. The most clichéd one I've heard: "I'd better be gettin' two for that price!" Ha ha ha,....ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clbehymer Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Here is a pet peeve of mine about certain park guests, aka, my friends that come with me... I naturally walk fast, and when I am at an amusement park, I still walk fast. It always seems like I am walking 50 feet in front of them and I have to stop and wait, stop and wait, stop and wait. I try to walk slower, but it just doesn't happen. The times that it really bothers me is if I am having a conversation with them and walking and then I look like an idiot walking by myself talking to no one.

The Interpreter Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 No, they did not. Let implies permission. Ride ops can only do so much. If someone were to somehow get out of Diamondback on the lifthill, would you say the ride ops let him or her do that? Of course not. Unless they were not adquately restrained in the station, of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragsterfan420 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 ^^The only reason the kid got to go in the water was because no one was around. From the front of that ride (Jurassic Park River Adventure @ Islands of Adventure) where the ride ops sit they cannot see the drop. Also there is no camera facing that direct direction. Should there be? Probably, but theres not. Ride ops usually do their jobs very well, please don't blame them for idiotic kids who wear hats on a ride with a 85 foot drop.

Haunt_mistress09 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I can't stand getting stuck in line behind someone who smells like BO! you'd swear they had never heard of deodorant. My last visit during the middle of the summer, i noticed so many stinky guests! i thought about hanging an air freshener around my neck or powerful perfume so i could at least smell myself instead of someone else.

sgshredder33 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Teens or adults that were those stupid Insane Clown Posse & Slayer T-shrits among others C'mon this is a family park and one of the park guidelines is that your clothing shouldnt have offensive wording or graphics I wish people would go by the parks guidelines. I will agree with ICP, but Slayer, comeon Slayers good and they aren't going against park rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Kid Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 hey I wear icp shirts and I have slayer vans. And if one of my coaster shirts arnt clean I wear an icp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCbengal985 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Yeah I don't see anything wrong with anyone wearing any band shirt. People can listen to or support whoever they want, no matter how offensive or inappropriate the music is. The shirt doesn't play the music. That being said, if a t-shirt has intense swearing or really obscene gestures on it, than it probably shouldn't be worn to an amusement park.

The Interpreter Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 ...which reminds me of a story. Many years ago, I was denied admission to Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois unless and until I changed shirts...and no, reversing the shirt was not an option. And just what was so offensive about my chemise? It was green, had a mountain and 22 stars, and the words: Paramount's Great America. And at Six Flags Great America (once its sister park), they would NOT let me in wearing it. Honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Kid Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I hate it when people start to make out in lines when there in front of people espically young children. When people aare making out on the Eiffel Tower I walk past and carefully say "Kings Island is a place for familys not making them". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
