Crazy things you hear while waiting in line...

As Top Thrill Tyler notes, folks can be very obtuse. Had a woman at the box office recently who read the sign about our Uber discount offer and came over to the window to ask: "Where will the Uber take us?"

I was walking up to Gatekeeper and these two little girls (probably age 10-12) run up and then suddenly stop in disappointment when they found out the line was "way too long". I looked up at the line and it was only a little longer than half way up the stairs. I lost a little hope in today's children that day.

Yesterday morning while walking past the end of the final inversion of corkscrew I heard a father tell his young son that's where the guy jumped the fence and "got clobbered".


First ride; Magnum 1994

I suppose that's one way of describing it.

As having taken place near Corkscrew when it was really Raptor?

Well they are both made of steel and they both go upside down so I can see how someone may mistake one for the other...if they're not too bright.

Yes he described it as being in one of those flower beds under corkscrew


First ride; Magnum 1994

I was referring to that being one way of describing it..

The Waiting thing is really funny..!!!

While walking on the midway by Pink's I overheard two girls talking, who both seemed to be in their late teens. Girl A said "Oh look, I didn't know they had a Pink store here!" and Girl B replied "no you idiot, that's for hot dogs!".

Yesterday, while enjoying Toft's with my daughter-

Girl walking by: "Oh, Look, they have a Pink's store"
Her friend: "It's Pink's Hot Dog, not Victoria's Secret, you moron."

My daughter almost blew ice cream out of her nose when she heard that:)

I thought I heard that before...

Must be a common occurrence among the teen set. I really don't think I would have not been able to make that distinction when I was a teen, though. I'll try not to generalize today's youth, though.

One year, I worked at the park, but I didn't have a uniform. One of my friends was working on Disaster Transport when it was closed for a little bit of time. He gave the usual "This ride is currently closed, unsure of the time it will take to reopen this ride, blah, blah" spiel. He was standing right in front of the black "This ride is currently closed" sign. A young teenager went up to him and said: It's closed, but for what ride? I couldn't help it but just laugh...

A couple years ago I heard a lady, probably in her late 20's, ask her friend if she wanted to ride the rapture.

You have to go to Kirk Cameron's Raptureland to ride the Rapture.

"Top Thrill Dragster is actually a copy of Kinda Ka. When Cedar Point heard Six Flags announce Kinda Ka they quickly built and opened Dragster first. That's why it is shorter and slower." - Random Person at the Park

Sounds more like the comments from a kingda ka pov video on youtube.
