I think it's funny how these people have become celebrities of a sort.

I think it's sad that being a douchebag by pushing past people to get back on a ride, as an adult no less, is worthy of any attention.

I'm curious as to what these people do to waste their lives during the off-season. It must be tough to have to come up with new ways to be antisocial and creepy during that time, and the park's opening must come as a huge relief.
The path you tread is narrow, and the drop is sheer and very high.
Not all the single riders are douchebags. SRB as one example is quite a nice, friendly, and more importantly, respectful guy when it comes to not pushing past people.
I myself wear a single rider shirt on occasion when my wife or brother are not with me, when crowds are light. Some of the single riders give us all a bad name. I only hope that people don't label me a "douchebag" for the shirt I wear. Judge me by my actions instead.
Well why does it matter if someone is a single rider or not? Is there really any reason to wear a t-shirt or give yourself a title? The single rider should not be treated any differently than a regular paying customer.
I did see Mr. Skyward, he is always a gentleman.
I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,
than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.
I only saw single rider Bob. I wish I knew what the others on this site look like so that I could say hey, I probably saw most of you at some point but no way of knowing for sure.
No coaster will ever be too fast or too tall!

Please! He's exactly the guy I'm talking about.

Please don't start this discussion again! I'm tired of hearing about people whining about how much you hate these people. If you want to start talking about how much you hate Single Rider Bob and Mr. Segway, then privately do it. I respect everybody's opinion, but starting a multiple page thread about how much you hate them is ridiculous, just like the other thread(s) dedicated to them.
I was fairly amused by one of the single rider shirt people on Saturday. They bypassed about two train loads worth of the line at Wicked Twister when they called for a single rider, which isn't too bad I suppose. But then I noticed after my ride that they were standing around by the exit waiting for the rest of their group (which they had ditched in line) to ride. Not sure I really see the point in ditching the people you're with to ride with a stranger, only to have to wait around for your group to get through the rest of the line afterwards.

How about you don't tell the admin what not to post on his own freaking board. If you don't like the direction the thread is heading, stop reading it.

You're welcome to start your own site and do whatever you want. Don't tell me what to do at mine. I don't want that asshole and his behavior at my event in the fall either.

I think it's funny that TwistedWicker didn't even realize that Jeff ran the site.
I finally got to see Mr Skyward in person last year, thanks to Ben H. If he didn't point him out I wouldn't have even noticed that I was in the presence of such a celebrity. ;)
"You wanna, you gotta, you hafta hold on, Cedar Point...HOLD ON!"
I think it would be rather humorous to see a thread specifically designated towards single riders. But I am sure it has been done before.
I know nothing of who runs this site or who mods it, I just post.
I do have to say that wearing a single rider shirt is a clever idea, though. It must make the job easier for the ride ops. I have screamed "I NEED 2 PEOPLE" and "ANY SINGLE RIDERS?" sooo many times last season
In fact, I am surprised that CP has not marketed on that niche with T shirts. God knows they have a T shirt for everything else.
