share your interesting coaster stories!

i am interested to hear about all of your interesting coaster stories. pretty much, they can be anything to do with coasters, so lets hear them!
my story took place while i was waiting in line for The Great American Scream Machine at SFOG. My friend and I were almost at the end of the line, when all of the sudden, were hear about of guys start yelling and cheering. Appearently, some guy hit some girl in the nose and broke her nose. the guy ran away of coarse, and about 10 minutes later i saw two very fat police officers running towards the ride, to accomplish who knows what since the guy had long since run away and left the park.
well there's my story, but i bet yours are better so share them! feel free to share more than one!

Last Summer at Madrid, they had the Wild Wild west woodie closed all the time. However they opened it for about 15 laps, for testing or something. They invited a small group of people near the area to ride and I was among them. The walk through all the queues was very long and we were among the last ones to get in, so there was a small wate in the gates. After every ride, people were cheering loud. it was a great coaster, and I used a shortcut to get another ride (I didn't know it wasn't allowed) and got in when the ride was already closed.

The same day at the late hours we got to ride Batman several times in a row. Even though they ran just a one train, I could get in it for 7 times. On last time I was the only one in it and the ride's friendly ride ops allowed me to take the front row[:D].

B.st, Im going to WBMW this summer [:D] ... is it true that Stunt Fall, Superman and Batman is near walk-on all day while Wild Wild West has long queues????

When I was there, you could get to the coasters without almost any wait all day even though it was July, so it could very well be true. Wild Wild West and Stunt Fall were both closed at the time.

I suggest buying a two day ticket and being there from 10 am to 01 am[:)]. If you really want to, it's possible to get 100 laps on their coasters and ride other stuff as well at that time.

Ok, now you got me really excited [:D] I was a bit worried about long queues since Im going in July...

one day last summer, i went on Raging Bull in SF Great America 20 times in one day. It was 95* so noone was there. Also, i had nothing better to do so that helped.

i rate your track, you rate mine

Last summer, I got to go to Cedar Point a half an hour before the park opened and I got to go on all the rides about ten times each. There was no wait! It was awesome.

you sure Intamin Fan i mean it would take a day to do all the rides in CP even if there was knowone there [:P]

I have tussards passes so i can get into Alton Towers XART (xtra added ride time) from 9 till 9:30 whilst knowone else is there. Of cause there only is one thing to do when you do for XART get in a run to AIR, i dont know why tho because air is shite.

My dad and i were at Universal Studios IOA and got stuck at the top of the hill on The Incredibal Hulk Because of a computer glitch that went around the park. So we got to walk down the launch hill. it took about 25 minutes to get all the way down. I was on cloud 9 at the time. it was cool.

Yup, I'm sure, and I wasn't exaggerating either[:)]

Well, in Worlds of Fun, so many people have been killed due to restraint malfunctions, there is a skin tight seat belt too so at the summit of the tallest ride (Mamba @ 205 ft), someone unbuckled the seat belt and the lift chain jammed and a piercing sound blared us all as we waited about a half hour for the employee (who was rather large) to come to the rescue to un-jam the ride. It was fun times on account of you could tell how much the coaster actually swayed even at 205 ft [:P]

I was at Kennywood Park last summer with friends. we were in the middle of the Phantom's Revenge queue lines (Usually a 30 minute wait)I'm singing to the music that was played in the queue lines, I got borded as well as the other 50-60 people in the line, so we played a big game of beach ball in the queue lines. It was great, I never seen so many people play a game of beach ball before, let alone a beach ball game in a theme park queue lines. But that fun turned ugly, some over-grown kids (2 girls 2 boys) started beating on some 62 year old lady 2 line over from me because, the lady wouldn't let them jip her in line. They hit her for a good 5-6 minutes, that's when she started swinging at them, and was doing a damn good job, but was still having problems keeping all of them off and they started spitting on people, I was one of the one who got spit on so, since no one else would help I jumped in and hit each of the 2 boys with one blow to the stomach. I had to keep hitting them because they were very big compared to me i'm 16, they looked about 19, if I stopped they might have demolished me but not without a fight. Finally some 15 minutes later the cops came and the 2 girls-2 boys ran out the queue lines and left the park. the cops asked me some questions, thanked me for helping the lady, but said i could have got the coaster's staff members to kick those kids out of the lines but, the coaster's staff members were just watching the lady catch a beat-down and I felt bad and also they spit on me so I had to do something. I hate fighting and I never really get into fights even though i know how to fight. I get very shaky before I fight. I haven't fought since the 6th grade and i'm in the 11th grade now. Well that's my story.

I went to Kennywood Park today at around 4:oopm. It was openig day for a new thrill ride built during the winter. The new ride wasen't even running. everything else except the water rides (Pittsburgh Plunge & Log Jammer) was running fine. the first thin i rode was the Phantom's Revenge. The ride was great as always, but I was so darn cold, it was 64 degrees today in Pittsburgh, and it was very breezy. But I didn't let that stop me from having a good time though. It's kinda funny how in the post above I was talking about when i went to Kennywood last summer, and not knowing that a few hours later I'd be there. Our 256 ft. Pitt Fall-Freefall ride was great although, there were some computer glitches that left us riders at the top of the 256 ft. tower for a half hour. it was neat though, i had forgotten how big Kennywood really is. However I think that Racial things were taking place with some of the Kennywood staff memebers. I went to go ride the Phantom's Revenge at night (Way better at night) but they said it was closed. So I started to walk away, but just as I turned my head 2 of the Phantom's Revenge staff let a few Cacajun kids enter the ride. They a few other African American kids tried to get on the ride as I had done, but they were told the samething, that the ride was closed. They left and I stayed there, then again the staff members let another group of Cacajun kids through the rides lines. I talked to the head of operations (people who assign the jobs to be done in the park.) They told me that the crew of staff memebers that working at the Phantom's Revenge at the time will assigned a new job in the park, for racial profiling. I was quite satisfied. They even let me take a ride on the Phantom's Revenge at night after all, and was great but very chilly. i'm going back to Kennywood next saturday for the offical Season opening, it was only open today to promote the new ride and themed area of the park. Maythis time i'll get to ride the new "Big Khauna."
