Crazy things you hear while waiting in line...

They were behind us. When we reached the platform, they realized the error of their ways, and didn't ride.

Several years ago on Raptor someone yelled "I didn't know this went upside down!" right as we were going through the first loop. Not sure if they were just joking but I like to think they weren't :)

Your mom is to fat to ride TTD. said:
I wasn't there, but a friend told me on Tuesday that a teenager dropped his basketball into the pond while waiting in line for Maverick. He proceeded by screaming "YOLO" and jumped in after it. Gross.

My boss has YOLO written on paper in the back window of his truck. At first I had no clue what it meant. Pretty dorky.

Writing it on paper is decidedly un-YOLO. Getting it tattooed on your forehead, on the other hand...

I found this video and decided to post it, I wasn't sure what the best topic would be but it's always fun listening to people mis pronounce things.

Almost as much fun as seeing them mis-spell "pronounce". ;-)

Actually had to look this term up since I don't speak ghettonese, and am not hip to the whole pop culture crap.

It's not ghettonese, it's douchebag.

I hear a bunch of crap coming out of the mouths of kids today, most I don't understand our care to. So I just call it ghettonese.

Does your AARP membership get you a discount at the gate?

I'm not that old I just don't care to keep up with everchanging terms that mean the same thing they did 20 yrs. ago. I guess I got better things to do. It's getting to the point where I might need to get rosetta stone software just to talk to someone 20 yrs. younger then me.

I heard in line the other day at MiA:
" did you hear about the new coaster at cedar point? It goes out into the lake!"

^You should have corrected them, and told them it goes UNDER the lake. Just to stir the pot haha

My friend's sister's friend said that they were tearing down Dragster for GateKeeper. *facepalm*

Earlier this year, my cousin said they were tearing down Wicked Twister for the 500 foot version of the Dragster. I just laughed because that's just ridiculous.

ohh...the General Public and their silly ways ;)

My cousin and uncle both said the Dragster and Mine Ride were getting torn dowm this year. Like you said, CedarPointTaylor, sometimes the GP can really be silly. And pretty stupid too (no offense if any GP stumble across this site and read this ;) )

I hear rumors all the time about them taking down Dragster. Not sure why it's a popular rumor.

Overheard last weekend: two women standing in line for Shoot the Rapids, both were smoking. One of them commented to the other, while a cigarette dangled out of her mouth, "This place has changed so much, you never used to see riff-raff here nor nuthin!"

Last time I was at Cedar Point which was last Sunday, I heard a kid say to her mom how they wouldn't ride Top Thrill Dragster because he claimed people have died on it over the summer. I'm thinking to myself....hmm how come I never heard this...lol.

I was in line for Summit Plummit at Blizzard Beach in Disney and this guy was talking about how he's going to Cedar Point soon. It wasn't crazy but I found it interesting to hear about the park from some guy in line for a water slide, hundreds of miles away. He was a wee bit off with his facts but aren't they all ;). All his friends were amazed about the 300 and 400 foot coasters they have. I'm just standing there thinking, yep been on them dozens of times, not to brag or anything haha.

I had a funny conversation once.

Friend: I don't want to ride the Gemini. The wooden ones are too rough for me.
Me: It's okay, it's a steel coaster.
Friend: No it isn't!
Me: The supports may be wooden, but the track is made of steel.
Friend: It's wood! I rode it before so I would know!

So I prevail upon him to ride it with me and eventually we're turning the corner on the way to the lift hill.

Me: Take a look at that track. What does it look like to you?
Friend: (Takes a long look) Definitely wood!

I just sit back and laugh. It doesn't really matter. Wood, steel, this or that many feet, the important thing is he rode it.
