Since most of the people that post here have most likely been on CP's coasters countless times, do any of you like doing things that keep things from being monotonous?
For example, one time on magnum, I sung a song with my friend all the way up lift one. Sure, everyone hated me when I got off, but it was fun, and different than any other experience I have had on magnum.
Sometimes, when I have the presence of mind, I'll pose for the camera.
Sometimes I try to go the entire ride without screaming on MF and TTD, but it's not as fun for me when I hold it all in. On occasion I will ride some coasters with my eyes closed. I still get freaked out when I do that, even on Gemini. One time, my cousin proposed that we scream the entire ride for MF. It was during the evening. I must have swallowed 5 bugs.
Though coasters are one of the farthest things from boring that I can think of, does anyone else have any stories about things they have done to add a new dimension their coaster riding experience?

I've tried focusing on a specific point before, but I end up getting distracted looking at the track or people in front of me instead.

On Gemini, I always ride in the back so I can watch all of the people in front of me throw their hands down and duck on the one hill that looks like the rafter is going to chop your torso off. That never gets old. And I once closed my eyes, but that was over when I accidentally got a mouthful of a ponytail belonging to the girl in front of me. So, after that bad experience, I will never again close my eyes on a roller coaster...
And I pretty much sing all the time, so I'm always singing on roller coasters, especially on lift hills.

My friend and I like to play "driver's ed" on DT mostly, and a few other random coasters too.
For DT, we pretend that the trough is like a driver's test course, and I sit in the right side of the front seat, and my friend sits on the left. She acts like she's holding a steering wheel. I play the instructor and she's the student driver. She plays dumb and asks questions, like "which way do I turn?" and stuff like that, lol
good times :)
My favorite is to get people to laugh, a few examples. Please feel free to use them, I'd love to hear someone use my tactics, but I don't get to the park as often as I used to...
Disaster Transport - I like to politely tell everyone that I am afraid of the dark as soon as we start moving, then let out a little girl scream.
Magnum - That little dip out of the station I'll scream my head off, then celebrate the ride's over and I won't have to do it again. Then start crying about the lift hill.
Snake River Falls - After the wave settles, excuse myself for drinking too much water.
These always make for some laughs, rather it's people laughing at me, for crying and being 6'4" and 240 (last time I was in the park), or me laughing at people's reactions.
Hahahahaha VooDooCC, I think I have ridden with you on magnum. I'll never forget when someone screamed this high pitched girl scream at that dip. Everyone on the train was laughing.
I've been on gemini countless times, and I -STILL- have to duck at that first drop.
