Cedar Point, The Roller Coast!!

Mine Ride: "Please keep your heads, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes inside the ride at all times."

Mine Ride: "We will take you up SEVEN FATHOMS! If you don't know what a fathom is, go to your nearest library." The kid in front of me: "Is that the place with the books?"

Mine Ride: "We will take you up 3,487,594 millimeters, and then drop you at a speed of 348 miles per year!"

My first time on Blue Streak (in 1999): "You are on the Blue Streak - the biggest, baddest roller coaster in the park...in 1964." Boy did that freak me out.

Wicked Twister ride op talking to me: "We don't use no yellow line."

I was gonna email them to you, but I figured I might as well share them with everybody. :)

I heard one on Mantis when I was there on my last trip. (This was after the ops were getting a little testy with the riders).

"Cedar Point did not spend $12 million to have you sit!"

I giggled...

Here are some good ones I remember.

Raptor Ride Op: "Welcome to the Raptor, the ride that does it to you six times, four different ways, and in only 2 minutes and sixteen seconds."

Mantis Ride Op: "If you think it hurts now, just wait until the ride starts."

Gemini Ride Op: "Welcome back blue train. How was your ride. Yay. Welcome back red train. How was your ride. Yay. Now leave."

Raptor Ride Op: "Thank you for riding the Raptor, the best ride at Cedar Point. Except for Millennium Force. And Magnum. And Top Thr- oh forget it."

On the Mantis: "Please stand up! If you want to sit down, go ride that big blue thing across the midway."

On the Mean Streak (but true for many other rides): "We're gonna take you up really really high, drop you really really low, and you'll go really really fast! And we'll take you upside down NOT once, NOT twice, but ZERO times!"

IRON DRAGON: SLAY IT

I.D '03: 2

I have heard a few too

Magnum XL-200 (the year Millennium Force was built: Thank you for riding the number one roller coaster in the park.

Magnum XL-200: Oncoming riders, unless you have a dog named Toto and your off to see the wizard, please don't cross my yellow brick line.

Magnum XL-200: I don't go stepping on your friends so don't step on mine, the yellow line.

Is there some type of competition between the ride operators of Magnum and Raptor?

CAN WE "GET TO THE PO!NT" ALREADY?!?!?!

*Off Topic* Yep, I am going to be a Buckeye and I cannot wait. I am a litte nervous but I think I will be fine. Maybe I will make some new friends who love Cedar Point as much as I do.

On Topic: Are the ride ops free to say basically what they want doing their spiel as long as they keep the actual info in?

Iron Dragon Op "Welcome back Top Thrill Dragster rides,....of 1987, blah blah blah, i hope you enjoyed your ride on the tallest rollercoater, on this midway"

Rollercoasters have proven to cause brain damage in stupid politicians. DAR-HOOT

trips to CP:6 Dragster:2 MFer:6 Magnum: 13 Running with the bulls for a 15 minutes dragster wait, Must be June!

These are some funny quotes. Here's one I just made up:

"If you have a mean streak, the Mean Streak should calm down your mean streak. And I don't mean an average."

One of the more lame things the Wicked Twister Ride Op was saying, "Welcome back WT riders how was your ride?" Train would cheer and he would say "Wicked" it wore out its sillyness the 3rd time in a row on WT :D
