Crazy things you hear while waiting in line...

Yesterday when my friends and I got off of Power Tower some kids were talking and one of them said
"When the green side goes (it was broken at the time) a trapdoor opens and the ride goes 100 feet under ground. That is why they call it pit drop"

This kid was around 14 years old. Myfriends and I just laughed.

Today I heard that Cedar Point is planning a coaster twice as tall as Dragster to get back at Kinda Ka for being 50 feet higher. I can't make this up.

One time, my mom (who has been riding the Iron Dragon for years) asked me if it went upside down. I just looked at her and said, "Are you being serious?" She sadly was.
But when I hear people talk about Cedar Point I don't bother to correct them either because at a certain point it's a lost cause.
All of these posts are super funny by the way!

I definitely agree about correcting people about Cedar Point is a lost cause. Hahaha

Yeah I don't correct people because I figure I'll let people believe what they want. Everyone comes to Cedar Point to have a good time, so I just let people escape reality even if it means they are spreading absurd rumors.

Although yesterday, WT broke down twice for about 5 minutes each while I was in line. The person behind us said "Our seat is gonna fly off!" She certainly got a kick out of it when I told her to watch the spike as the testing train ran up it. She wasn't a fan of the wobbling around lol

Yeah, don't correct them, its always fun to hear what else they say! Line entertainment!

I heard a good one last week. Some kids behind me ask "why does gatekeeper go so slow compared to maverick or millie" and the other one said "because if it went much faster it might fly off the track while going through the keyholes"

Made my day :-D

The strangest thing I heard was when I was waiting in line for Dragster and talking about how it is the second tallest coaster in the world. A guy looked at me and said that the tallest coaster in the world is in Virginia. I ask him which coaster is that and he told me its called the Alpengiest at Busch Gardens...I didn't even bother to correct him.

That's hilarious that fool thought Alpengeist was taller than Dragster, let alone Magnum.

I can see where he's coming from, though. Alpengeist is the tallest full circuit inverted coaster in the world. He probably got confused, and omited that tiny detail about being a different type of coaster.

Well I wish that was the case but unfortunately it was not lol. He said that it was the tallest coaster and meant it. A person he was with told him it was not the tallest (I mean did he not realize what coaster he was about to get on)but he stood by his statement.

Wow that's messed up.

I once heard that Cedar Point should offer rain checks.

Sorry, Guru. Had to get that one in there. No harm intended....

I can take it. It's not LOL, but I got a chuckle.

Saturday morning in line for MF. Person behind me to his friend. "How tall is this ride?" Friend "380ft tall."

I have one from yesterday. My sister and I were waiting in line for Windseeker and the couple behind us were talking about Magnum, the conversation went something like this. Girl:We should go on the Magnum.
Guy:The wooden one?
Girl:Yep.

When I heard that I just turned to my sister and shook my head. I don't know why they thought it was wooden. I mean you can clearly see it while in Windseeker's line.

^ Blue streak, no can't mix that up. How about CCMR. No name still ver different. Gemini, this one has to be it. No wait, the only way this is close to Magnum is in relationship to distance. Mean Streak. Yes, this is it, the names start with the same letter. But there is still one problem, but I can't place my finger on it. Oh wait, I remember now, One of them is massive and made of wood while the other one is tall and long while maid of white(?) and red painted meta.

Most of the time we forget that a lot of people visit from out of state just because it sounds like fun. I can't really blame any one for these comments because they were most likely told it by some one else and they don't know any better because they don't feel like finding out for themselves. Some of these are very funny and I wish to hear more and more as the season progresses.

I heard three kids talking about how they used a handicapped pass to park at the front of the lot. None of them were handicapped.

While on the platform for Dragster opening day, a guy in the row next to me was talking about Kingda Ka and said it's "450 ft TALLER than Dragster" lol

I don't always hear crazy things in line, but when I do, I correct the **** out of them
