Post ur funniest theme park stories here...
it can be anything from embarrassingly funny to funny in a scary way or any other funny that u can think of.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
My funniest experience happened at CP. I think it was sometime in agaust 05
Me, my dad, and my sister were all next in line for the back seat of the Mantis when it started to rain. The rain didnt look like it was going to stop for a while so we sat down (since we were shaded under the station). My dad ended up falling asleep in line. When the rain stopped we finally road the Mantis. After riding a few more rides we got in line for the Magnum. once again we were next in line for the back seat when it started to rain this time lightning(i wish i had a camera because right wen the train was cresting the second hill lightning struck the lake which looked so cool). While we were in line my dad fell asleep AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME!!! this time we played a prank on him. since hes a heavy sleeper, I took a pen from my sisters purse and wrote "next in line for Magnum" on the back of his neck. man he was mad wen he woke up.<img src=images/icon_speech_oops.gif border=0 width=29 height=15 alt=Insert Speech Icon: Oops!>

and that was my funniest experience at a theme park.

I can only think of one time when I was getting on the train for Texas Giant. I just walked to the train the second the gates opened without paying attention. I was calling or my friend to come and not looking where I was going... so... I happened to sit down on the person already on the train.[xx(]

I went one Renegade soaking wet (10 rides: Hydroblaster/3 rides: The Wave/1 Ride: Thunder Canyon...so I was really wet, okay?) And I went on Renegade and pretty much flooded the seats. My now favorite ride-op ever, Stephanie started talking to us about how she gets constant complaints about how people are getting seats wet and making the ride uncomfortable...over the PA. And now Stephanie is always at Excalibur or Renegade or some where in the back of the park so I pay her the usual visit and converse.

Oh man, I've had tons. Most involved frusteration in some sort of way.

At IOA in August 06, we were in line for Dueling Dragons. We had already rode Fire in the back, but wanted to ride Fire and Ice back and front. So we got in line, and the entire station area was 100% full. A little bit of a line went back into the line leading to the station. Well, it wasn't raining, but apparently there was lightning within 10 miles. Of course, this was the only time we'd be in Florida for a loong time, so we wanted to wait it out. We waited and waited, as the rest of the line died out. Two hours..by the end of it, it was only us and one other dude in the station, and the ride ops were making fart noises into the mic and having broom fights. So by the end of the day, we got on both of them back and front, with a total of waiting there topping 3????????? hours. of just sitting, the only ones in the station [lol] And the announcement kept repeating..."Due to inclament (sp?) weather, normal operations of Dueling Dragons has been delayed until further notice" etc...

I went to Dollywood with a friend and we decided to ride Timber Tower. When we got on the ride we realized we got wet so I took my shoes off while I was strapped in and put them on the side. My friend Thought that was smart so he took one off and then he attempted to take the other one off but instead it flung over the railing and into the pond surrounding the ride. He was like "Oh*Beep*". The ride operator yelled at him cause they thought he did it on purpose. After like 30 minutes of trying to get it out they did and he had to walk the whole day with a soaking wet shoe.

one time at sfmm i was eating some french fries, minding my own buisness when this curious little squirrel approached me. I told him to shoo but he was so brave and determined! So for his braveness i threw a french fry to him, and him picked it up and ate it! Like who knew that squirrels would like french fries so much! I wonder if he needed any ketchup [:I] teehee

I have two:

I was at Chessing WOA when i was about 8. My dad thought it would be good to get some nachos. So we sat down, me with KFC and my dad with nachos, under a tree.
Then a pigeon came over and sat above my dad. Then something from the bird dropped out onto my dads nachos, and we couldn't tell which was the sour cream or the poop.

My second one was on Oblivion. As some of you know there are 2 rows A and b. I got on the b section which is where the train stops outside and waits for the other car "A Section" drops. So we got out into the outdoors and stopped, and guess what it chucked it down, it was like i was standing infronnt of a log flume, or in one! Then when we hit the brake everyone was soaked and screaming "let us off" then we had to wait at the brakes. And then a blurting annoncement "Sorry but Oblivion is currently experiencing tech delays" we were stuck outside for 10 minutes.

Pretty much anything that happens at a WWS.Com meet for me. I found it hilarious having 6 people squished into a teacup ride, with me and Gouldy spinning it at full speed making every one ill

when i was in line for the great american scream machine at sfga the ride broke down (as usual) and one of the trains was stuck on the midway block section so the operator had to get someone to climb the stairs fix the controlls. The funny part was they it was this fat guy who got only up two flights every ten minutes so it took about an hour and a half to get up the 114ft. By the time he got the ride to operate and finish the circut the ride operator screamed to him "now you gotta go down the stairs fat boy" and the whole station was crackking up.

when i was on i still saw him climbing down lol

i was waiting in line for Nitro, when i felt the call of nature. i had waited for about an hour so far and was about to the point where you enter the station. my friend really wanted to ride, so i stayed in line, plus i didnt want to get back in line all over again. so we go, all is good. up the lift, i get an urge... DIAREAH! well, i didn't actually crap my pants, it was very, VERY close. i managed to hold it all through the ride, only letting out a few farts, which i really didnt care about when the wind is rushing past at 60 mph. anywho - can you imagine what 4 g's of poo feels like?! it was NOT fun. at the end of the ride, i told my friend that i had to go to the bathroom. NOW. i said i'd meet him at the exit in a few minutes and i was off to get some much needed relief. [:D]

Hehe, i got a nice story too.

Last saturday me and a friend when to walibi. The last hours there was nothing to do in the entire park. We went to the woody, no queue at all and sat all in a different row. On the lift we found out we could actually just get out the ride. So we all took a few rides on worlds first stand up woody [:D][:D] It was pretty good to do, but around the turnaround it got harder to stand up and we sat down again [:D]

While in line for the Georgia Cyclone, a girlfriend and I where waiting in line with at least 100 others packed inside the station on a cold day. I began to feel a rumble in my belly and could not hold it in no longer. It was silent but very deadly. In just a few seconds others in the station began to turn around with this awefull look on their face so I decided to play it off by saying "somebody threw a stink bomb on the ground!" In a matter of a few minutes the whole station full of people where looking on the ground trying to find the stink bomb... :)

are you sure? since it's a woody that you can ride without restraints... barely any lats, it probably reaches around 0.3g negative [:D]
