Non-Enthusiasts Say The Darndest things...

I don't know if there was a topic about this already, but post any stupid comments you'be heard at a park!

I was just waiting in line for Hades when the person behind me mentioned the time at Valleyfair when "Wild Thing got stuck at the top, then all the seat belts came off, and the entire cart flipped over." "It happens all the time."

waiting in line for Kingda Ka: "it must be easy to make a ride faster, maybe not taller but definitely faster"

Speaking of Kingda Ka, does everyone remember how it was broken for a while last season? Well, some 13-year-old kid in line for El Toro had the reason...
Apparently, the rockets that power the trains blew up, so they had to send the trains back to California to get them replaced.

Also on the note of Kingda Ka, the ride operator: "get ready to ride Kingda Ka the one and only tallest and fastest coaster on earth there is no other ride like this in the entire world."


yes, except for Stealth, Zaturn, and oh yeah TTD!

In line for Ghostrider: "Woah!! look at that loopy thing on golden bullet! Im too scared to go on! Im afraid if I dont hold on then i wont stay in! Mom, did you know that coasters are very unsafe?"

At least it was something like that.

Friend: Dude, you know the tallest roller coaster in the world is over 4,000 feet?

Most overused one in the world "Final destination can really happen, im not riding that"

Another good one: just outside of Maverick's entrance...."does this thing go upside down?"

A favorite recurring one of mine whenever I'm telling a kid about TTD or Kingda Ka: "What? You can't go that fast. You'd die!"

While walking through holiday world: "Does the Voyage go upside down?" "No, but the Raven does twice" Later that day in line for Zoombabwe (waterslide) "This one, doesn't go upside down, right?" "No, it does." I had trouble holding in laughter from that one.

When I was a wee little kid, the first time I was at Jeepers (Great Lakes Crossing mall in MI) I asked if Python Pit went "upside down". (Then one or two years later I rode it like 50 times in a row at a friend's birthday party.) For those unfamiliar with it, here's a video of the ride.

"They have brakes on the way up TTD's hill to make it rollback"

"One time Superman The Escape flew off the track and then fell but everybody lived because they were wearing they're seatbelts."

the best one i hear on nearly every visit to alton towera by someone usually an idiot in the que talking to the other idiots
"rita goes 100mph" and so many times i have just wanted to turn around and shout "its 100kph you dumbass that 67MPH"

PepsiMax in the station, The speakers with a recording from like the 90's that it still use today: "The tallest, fastest, longest coaster in Europe."
Mate, You need RCDB.

Referring to Zoomerang at LC: "Isn't this one kinda like The Sidewinder one at Hershey?"

Best one I've had so far:
Discussion about Vogelrok in the Efteling if it goes upside down or not:
- Kiddo: No, Vogelrok doesn't go upside down.
- Us: Yes, it does. But only on a tuesday afternoon.

And he actually believed that!

Somebody lost their phone on Nitro. "I don't know how I lost it, it doesn't go upside down."

Stated in the line for Wild Thing at Valleyfair: "this is a great ride"

I heard from a german friend that black mamba only goes upside down twice during winter opening of phantasialand..........[sillyme]

"My Android's probably all messed up now!"

Heard after the drop on Snake River Falls.

during the construction of Stealth, before the top hat was topped off:

"How does the train fly from that piece of track to that piece of track? That is gonna be insane!"

I think that has earned a well deserved... *Facepalm*
