Anyone else witness some rude people at the park?

Was at the park Saturday in line for Magnum and behind us were some nasty people (father and daughter). The dad was so mad because the worker at the front entrance wouldn't let them bring their bag onto the ride. So he started cussing up a storm talking about how he pays that much to get into the park and they treat you like crap. Then the daughter flips out twice on this group of kids who weren't walking fast enough in line. They would be caught up in a conversation and literally delay the line for like 2 seconds and she flipped. It was just so rude. Why do people have to act like this? Enjoy your vacation!

Anyone else encounter people like this?

Yes I see rude guests quite often. Not going to mention any names, but many of them revolve around certain single riders... with bright neon shirts on... who like to pretend they own the place.

Not to name any names though :)

Yes, and not just at Cedar Point.

I remember two mothers who yelled at me... they'd sent their daughters ahead to cut in line on Lightning Racer at Hersheypark and were very irate that I'd blocked their precious snowflakes from cutting ahead of me.

We had several people today, on several different rides, seem to forget that "saving a place in line for someone else" is in Cedar Point's definition of line jumping. We had many glares and dirty looks when we refused to let a person move past us in line to catch up with their friends up ahead. If it were me, I would move back to the other person instead of telling them to move up. Or, better yet... Wait for them and enter the line together...

'not to mention any names',I will, 'single rider Bob' and 'single rider Chris'. I know them both, they're both good people but their amusement park line and platform behavior needs attention.

rude/obnoxious-riders for MF and TTD that try to bring stuff onto the ride. worst one I seen was a female wanting to bring a basketball on MF(she was already on the platform in the line to get on next with it). How she got past the ride entrance ?????. She threw a fit and was the center of attention on the platform. She was escorted off.

I always let people past me to group with friends/party,so I get on one train later,no big deal. CP is a place to enjoy and be happy,no sense in creating bad moods.

That last sentence is too true. It just amazes me how many people tend to be rude. It just brings everybody's mood down.

Rude ppl are everywhere even on pointbuzz.com.

I never deal with rude people at Cedar Point. I deal with them more at my second job. At my second job, they tell us to smile and greet the customers. When they don't respond back, I feel like an Idiot talking out loud to myself. Then again, I take it personally too which I know I shouldn't.

The park has rude and kind people all the time. The problem is some come in believing because they had to pay to get in this gives them the right to do whatever they want, Hence the park rules. I can say though that it is hard for the park to enforce them when there is only ride attendance either at the entrance or at the crowd position they need to have someone who can monitor the lines for behavior that would make it less comfortable for others around them. Also yes some of the single rides are not only rude but also very pushy to get where they want to go I love that they are in the park because they do however know a lot about it but they do need to learn that the safety rules do apply to them still and will always apply to them.

Pretty sure I've met my fair share of plain-rude people at every amusement park. My favorite however, is when someone tries to make their way through the line, "Excuse me, pardon me" "My friends are up there." It's amazing that people don't understand that this is in fact line jumping. I always find myself lecturing a bunch of people, asking them "So if what you're doing isn't cutting? What is???" Their response is always something along the lines of, "well if somebody jumps over a queue rail." You can't save a spot for someone on line, it's as simple as that. Imagine if everybody did this... well at Six Flags... never mind, we all know. I just love to barricade them behind me, and then they call me rude. That's one of those things I feel parks should announce every 10 minutes. I think its not that ALL of these people themselves are rude, but that they are just misinformed and see others doing the same. The rude ones are those groups that just try to push past you, and when you block them get upset. One time a group tried to report me for not allowing them to reach their friends. When they reached an employee, he had to explain that I was actually correct. So for the next 20 minutes I had to listen to a bunch of fools and try not to laugh at their mockery. I feel like this kinda supports my claim where most of these line cutters are just misinformed.

The ones that are not misinformed just plain don't care. It seems to me that the rude ones are also the friends up ahead in line letting them cut.

there was an instance I forgot about. TTD platform,not crowded,no line,maybe a 3 train sequence wait. platform crew was calling out for single rider to fill a seat,found a single rider and was told by crew to come on. the couple in that line refused to let the single thru. the situation stayed at that. I though platform crew were to be obeyed.

Of course platform crew should be obeyed, the people blocking the way were just as big a-holes as the line cutters.

In that case, nobody was cutting a line. Sounds like the riders were all in the station, and the Crew was trying to keep the trains full.. The couple that wouldn't let the single rider thru is an A-Hole. Not the single rider.

Ugh please don't get me started on people who feel entitled to not let a ride host do their job.

Joshjv, I didn't mean that the single rider was cutting, I meant it to be a comparison between the people blocking the queue and cutters in general. The single rider certainly was not a cutter, he was just following directions of the crew

While getting some one in my group a bring a friend ticket yesterday I witnessed a lady with family yelling that online would not let her buy children's tickets for her kids (she outright said were over 48 inches) so she bought the adult ones online and was looking for a refund for the difference of the children tickets because the kids wouldn't ride all the rides anyway.

One time Maverick got stuck up the hill when I was next in line. We waited for an hour to get to that point, and I decided to wait to see if it was going to be resolved shortly. It turned out that we had to wait 30 minutes+ before the ride op started giving the people actually stuck on the train free ride passes. People that left the ride immediately after they said it would be a 30 minute+ wait, came back up the exit, and demanded a free ride pass for being the next in line. They said they had waited the 30 minutes+, and they thought it was unfair that the people that were actually stuck on the ride for 30 minutes were getting passes. They felt entitled to one because they queued just as long as we did. The ride ops since changed over that time, and they tricked the ride op into thinking they were waiting there for the ride to open for an hour. After they got their free ride passes, finally a rather vocal woman spoke up and started yelling at the ride op saying "Excuse me. This is not fair at all! They left as soon as the ride closed down, came back up the ride exit a half hour later, and said they waited for the ride to be up the WHOLE time! We best be getting ride passes too. In fact, give everyone here a free ride pass." and after she wouldn't give up, the ride op finally decided to give everyone on the platform a ride pass as well. I'm standing up for the vocal woman, because she wasn't rude at all. She was right. The people that left, came back up when they heard they were giving ride passes to those who waited, and lied to the ride op to get passes, are the ones that are RUDE.

It would never have occurred to me to demand a pass for waiting in line and having a ride go down. I always just assumed crap happens and that was the end of it of course that's part of why I'm unwilling to wait hours for a ride in the first place.

^ That's exactly why I won't wait anymore than 20 minutes for Dragster. Any longer and it's guaranteed to go down. I only rode it on 2 of my visits so far this year, but I plan on going to the ride night for it tomorrow.
