Funny Things Said...

My friends and I once rode the gemini about 22 times in one evening. One of my friends had won a stuffed monkey swinging from a pole earlier, so when we were in the station and the sides were screaming "red!" "blue!" "red!" "blue!" at each other (Which they hardly do anymore), me and my friends started yelling so it was like "red!" "Monkey!" "red!" "monkey!" while my other friend swung the monkey back and forth in the air. So on the next ride some kids were following us and did it too. Then more and the whole train was doing it, so we got the operator on our side with the loud speaker mic to shout "monkey!" with us, and he did. After that one we figured we couldn't beat the monkey ride so we stopped and went on the Raptor. It was the funniest and most memorable few rides on the gemini I'd had.

Question: How do you explain the actions of millions of people who wait hours upon hours to be dropped down a hill?
Answer: You don't...

Just like jeff after hearing so many funny things from random people its hard to remember them all. I can remember one of my all time favorites; one day last year I was riding Magnum with Scott Short (shiveringtim) and we were sitting in 13. There were three our four college aged guys sitting infront of us. While the train was going down the first hill the guy in 12 yelled at one of the guys in 11 to "put your hands up _itch"

I couldn't stop laughing during the entire ride!

As the CP&LE RR gates were going up the crossing guard informed the waiting crowd that they can now proceed safely and to enjoy thier day at Disneyland. Later this same fellow was at the main station and as a dad entered the que with twins he announced that parents accompanied with twins are not allowed to ride the train. Everyone got a good chuckle out of this guy.

mine has to be the rumer about the person that got his hand chopped off on the mforce.and the one about the person that lost there scelp on power tower.

(the Iron Dragon op after our ride)
Op: "Welcome back riders, how was your ride???"
Us: "Ummm, ok"
Op: "Thought so! Please exit to your..."

Funniest thing I heard this season was from a ride op on the Iron Dragon. Gave the info about not taking pictures on the ride....Then at the end of it he said : 'Unless of course you wanted to take pictures of me then that was ok.' I think most people get used to the normal speech then miss it when they toss some added lines in...

The other thing I heard was on the Magnum. A lady in line was glad she waited because this was the last year for the Magnum...Because they sold it. I laughed and told her they sold it because it had sunk way into the ground. -Grin- She was amazed.........I told her to read about it in the FAQ's section on the CP web site.

My cousin said this Magnum Op tricked my mother and him... It was a woman with short hair. My cousin couldn't quite think to himself if he was gonna ride it or not because he was scared and my mother was well....more terrified than terrified! So he said they both sat down and the op whispers something to one of the beltcheckers and the beltchecker came over to them and quickly closed the lap bar down on them, looked in their faces and said "Buckle up". And they both cried and tried to get out but the train rolled out of the station while the op is waving. "Gooodbyyeeee"

LOL!!!!!! I laughed so hard when I heard this. *** This post was edited by OnRidePic freak on 9/10/2000. ***

--servo, For whom the off-season has already started...

No, they said it hurted their stomachs too much LOL!!! They said it felt like their stomachs were gonna pop out the top of their heads. AIR TIME. Ohhh, scary cats....

I was riding Blue Streak one day, and going up the lift two guys behind me was saying "oh this coaster aint high" then at the top of the hill they screamed, "oh S**t this is high, S**t!!"
they just screamed the whole ride and i just laughed.

Magnum-Just Ride It!!!

Hmmmmm....that's weird. Just imagine them on MF or MAGNUM! They wouldn't make it LOL

Working on rides is fun cause most of the time people don't listen to you and you say anything!
Ex.
Ride Op:Welcome back riders how was your ride...GREAT! Exit to your....

One time this summer while working on Raptor I was doing speils and I pulled the mic away and told the people in the front row that when we said clear they had to put their feet up to push the gate down and they did!!!

If I saw someone standing on the yellow line I would say "If you find yourself standing on the yellow line you better back that thing up!

I was at the park with my boyfriend a few weks ago. I spilled some water in his lap, so he had this huge wet spot on his left leg. We got on corkscrew, even though we constantly talk about how lame it is. As we were heading back into the station, it was extremely quiet on our train so he leans over as much as possible with that harness on and says in a VERY "Eric Cartman" voice, "I was so scared I p!ssed myself" and pointed to the wet spot on his leg. CLASSIC!

Oh, I forgot this on! I was on Mantis (BIG BUG!) with a male friend of mine. He kinda hates the ride because it's tough on the boys, if you know what I mean. Generally, he tries to get up on his tip toes before that first set of brakes kicks in. As we round the corner and stop I hear this high pitched sound coming from his side of the train. I look over to see my dear friend with this sheer look of pain on his face and as red as can be. We asked him if he forgot the brakes and he says, in a very high pitched voice, "SEAT -- TOO -- HIGH!" I felt so sorry for him, but it was just too darn funny! :) [He posts here, so I'm gonna be in BIG trouble when he reads this!]

Does this ride go upside down? Do you get wet on this ride? What time is the 10 o'clock laser show?

The sad thing, Jeff is that I've probably said those things!

"Brian Griese was running as if his dad was chasing him with a stick"

Jeff, have you acctually heard someone say "What time is the 10 o'clock laser show"? If so then they must be outa towners. :)

Magnum-Just Ride It!!!

Yeah, if you work there, you here it frequently.

Been there Jeff, people ask the STUPIDEST questions about things that take 10 seconds to find out on their own if they'd just think. (and look at the track for upside down parts as well as wet riders on the ride)

The funniest had to have been on Raptor. I rode it with 2 other guys and this girl from my school, who was absolutely terrified. She closed her eyes as we were climbing the hill and told us to tell her when it was over. As soon as we hit the brake run and I felt the brakes being applied, I told her the ride was over. She opened her eyes, and completely freaked out as the ride continued:). To this day, she is still mad at me for that one....It was absolutley hilarious!:)
