Most embarrasing moments at the Point?

My most embarrassing moment is a cute one. I was hired to be the Training Manager for the Hotel Breakers housekeeping staff...having no hotel experience at all. The management contracted with a very nice, older woman who was a professional in the field of hospitality management. She was brought in to train me to be the trainer...if that makes sense.

Keep in mind she was probably in her early 70s, at least.

We spent about a month together and she trained me on everything from making a bed to cleaning toilets to staging a room. One afternoon, maybe just after lunch, we had gone to a vacant room to make beds when all of the sudden I hear a familiar sound from the room next door. (The old wings of Breakers had thin walls to begin with.) It was obvious the couple next door had come back to the room for a ride that did not require waiting in line.

This trainer is a little hard of hearing so I'm guessing she doesn't hear what is happening. But, this couple is getting louder, and louder...and there is definitely some rattling of the wall. Still, my trainer doesn't acknowledge what is taking place so I'm guessing she just isn't hearing anything. This goes on for a while and when our work is done we finally leave the room. As we are walking down to the lobby she turns to me and says, "Don...you will see AND hear it all in this business."

I know I was as red as could be.

What was the couple doing?

What do you think?

Having sex?

Wow Shawn. Tell me you're joking.

Three friends of mine from high school and I went to CP and we were in line Magnum XL-200. My friend Katie complained of stomach pains while we were waiting. My other two friends and I were playing rock paper scissors to see who would ride with her, because we were all sure she would throw up during the ride. I was the lucky one. I asked her going up the lift if she felt like she was going to vomit and she said, "no, but my stomach is killing me." I was confident that she wasnt going to throw up. We went over the first hill and when we hit the bottom of the drop and starting going up the 157ft hill. She screamed, "Oh, sh*t!!!" I looked over at her legs and saw diarrhea dripping down her legs. Her shorts were soaked, and it smelled awful. She cried the rest of the duration of the ride. When we got to the station to get out she was mortified. The ride worker just kept saying, "Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God" over and over again. the seat and the floor was soaked. A ride host put his hand on my shoulder and said, "You poor bastard". I bought Katie some CP shorts and we were on our way.

Literally!

But, you really shouldn't go on rides if you're feeling like that.

They probably didn't want to be obvious but it's hard sometimes.

At fist I was confused, but a few minutes later it donged on me. I'm an idiot! Lol

Another pun?

In the last 3 weeks Ive been attacked by a bird twice. First time was by the challenge park booths and soak city. I felt a thud on the back of my head and some squawks. I spun and saw this black bird with red markings around its neck flying away. I looked around to see if anyone else saw this. An older couple were looking at me laughing. I asked "did that just happen?" And the guy responded that it looked like a Hitchcock movie.

Then this past Tuesday I was over by the smoking area by Maverick and it happened again. Spun and saw the same type of bird. But this time as I was walking away I heard more squawks and turned to see that this SOB was heading in to take another crack at the back of my head! I raised a fist to swat it out of the air. Then I noticed all the people watching, me, the crazy man who attacks birds. Mr. Bird flew off, and I headed over tp the Town Hall to be inside for a bit.

Sounds like someone has a crush on operative_me.

Final Force 500, that is probably the worst story yet, I think your friend wins the thread. So sorry for her, I'd say vomiting would be less embarrassing.

Thank you for starting this! This topic is one of my favorites I've read here.

Shawn... The doctor will see you now.

This is the most embarrassing that happened to me at the Point. When I was 10 or 11, I went to Cedar Point with one of my friends who (sadly) hates roller coasters and asked me to come so he would hopefully get over his fear. So we told his mother that we were going to Iron Dragon to see if he liked that. Long story short, his mother freaked out after 30 minutes and told the CP Police to try to find us. But then we went to the CP Police because he knew that his mother would freak out sooner or later. When she saw us she started yelling at the top of her lungs and almost everyone heard her and looked at us, and being a 10/11 year old I started CRYING like a little baby and I have no idea why. But that was my most embarrassing moment at Cedar Point. (And is a little embarrassing to put on here but hey, why not?)

I'd say Katie had a sh*tty day. Bu-dum-tiss xD

I've had that happen to me too! Why are the birds so aggressive at cedar point? I know it happened multiple times at a smoking area off the main midway.

Back about 6 years ago or so (I would be 9 if it was 6 years), my family and I (Dad, Mom, Brother, Me) were riding Magnum. It was the last train of the night and it also happened to be the unluckiest. On the bunny hills and in the tunnel, someone felt the need to puke... And did so. Now this guy also happened to be sitting right behind me. He puked all over the back of my head and got some on my dad's head. It was so disgusting and it smelled so bad. I'm just thankful nobody was there to see us get off.

The birds you described were most definitely red-winged blackbirds, and I can say based on experience being attacked by them while hiking, they were probably defending a nest. For the most part these guys nest on the ground in a bush or something versus in a tree, which you'd never notice until they start swooping down at you. They're probably the most ubiquitous bird at Cedar Point after the seagulls and the sparrows, so it's not too out of the realm of possibility.

Last year or two I accidently walked into the women's bathroom by the Magnum. I thought it was the men's room.
