Ride Operator Quotes

I remembered a few more:

Gemini: (Said sounding like William Shatner) "Please... stay behind... the yellow line. The yellow line... is your friend... you do not want to... step... on your friends."

Also on Gemini: "Welcome to Gemini, the tallest, fastest, steepest coaster within 10 feet of here."

Iron Dragon: Entire spiel given in foreign language, I have no idea what they said.

Mine Ride: "Watch out for that first drop, it's a doozie!"

Ocean Motion: "Please keep hands, arms and legs inside the car while the ride is in a motion like the ocean."

That's all I can think of for now.

-Chris Woodard
"If you're standing in an uncomfortable position, that means you are in the right position because you are riding Mantis!" - Mantis ride op doing spiels on closing day.

Iron Droagon: "Over the river and through the woods, under the mantis you will go...if you'll come back, I don't know"

------------------
"Scream early because once you reach 420 feet, no one will hear you!"-TOP THRILL DRAGSTER

TopThrillDude, your sig can be a good quote as well. Anyway, here's a few more I made up:

"Once your up 420 feet, you'll know why we call it a stratacoaster."

"Let's sit in the front seat on Mantis. Wait, I forgot. You can't sit...."

"Raptor can kick Batman's ass any day of the week, twice on Sunday, three times on Wednesday."

Okay, so they were corny quotes. Oh well.

"Welcome Iron Dragon riders to the tallest, fastest, wildest Iron Dragon you will ride all day. We are going to flip you upside-down not once, not twice, not even three times, but a mind-numbing zero times!"

This isn't really a ride op. quote, but on Paddlewheel a captain said, "What do you call a field of cows wearing red? Ohio State Fans! Can't you tell, I'm from Michigan!" Which was followed by massive booing.

"I can see Canadaaaaaaaaahhhh!" - Me atop of Magnum.

It is not very true, and it I think it would have been even better if the values were correct.

Anyway... on mean streak I heard: "Please stand clear of the doors. Por favor montigno claro de las puertas" (or something like that, I dont know exactly in spanish). If anyone has been to Disney World they will get it.

------------------
"I can't make a movie or write a song either, but that doesn't mean I'm not entitled to think they suck."
-Jeff

Dragster: 1 Force: 2 Twister: 3 Raptor: 3 Magnum: 4

I heard this one time on Wildcat. "Riders please do not sit or stand on the silver handrails. The rails are my friends. You don't see me stepping on your friends do you?"

"Life isn't fair, but the root password helps!"- B.O.F.H.

All very funny. I've added some of those to the site, and some that were emailed to me. I like to do this because I know that it brings a smile, especially after a horrible day at the park that did not include any rides on TTD because it was down due to mechanical difficulties...;)
------------------
"What time does the 10 pm laser show start?"

Iron Dragon:"Please keep your eyes nose toes and all your other Lever 2000 body parts in the ride at all times."

Iron Dragon: as the train arrives in the station ..."Guess who's back, backagain?, Iron Dragon's back, tell your friends."

Iron Dragon:"Let's give it up it for the kids in the front who are on their fiftieth ride of the day."

------------------
Iron Dragon '03 rides: 52

Iron Dragon: If you smeeeeeeeeeelllllllll, what the dragon, is cookin' .

My favorite of all time was the Mantis op, who said:

"We're gonna take you up 145 feet and bring you down 148 feet..."

(pause)

"Oh wait, that would be bad".

The only thing other than CP that Steelers and Browns fans agree on

Where raptor used to be was a ride called the Nestea Plunge...after "rocking to boat" a little too much and not being able to hear them telling us to stop, the Op said, "Thank you for riding the Nestea Plunge, please don't come back."

Yesterday on Mantis: "If ... your feet are dangling as if you were on Raptor ... please raise your hand and a ride operator will be there to assist you."

Also, there's a new joke on Paddlewheel that got a chuckle out of me: "We're now passing under Millennium Force, the park's tallest, fastest, steepest roller coaster---last year. This year, it's just blue."

It's not war, famine, or pestilence; it's only downtime.

Going to CP in June!!

On Cedar Creek Mine Ride..."The only ride at Cedar Point that takes you through a shack, over a crick and back!"

Also, though I don't remember the exact quote, I do remember one Mine Ride op promoting Guide to the Point. :)

As we caught Iron Dragon late in the day..."Welcome to the Iron Dragon, the ride you've been waiting all day to ride!"

And as our train returned to the station..."Welcome back riders, I hope you enjoyed your ride. I sure did!"

EdM

woo for us iron dragon op's giving lovely quotes to add to this lovely site!

No, there wasn't. Let's try Mill Race.

You're both correct. Mill Race was called Nestea Plunge for a couple of seasons.

Iron Dragon: "Clear. Launching in 3...2...1... *air releases*"

waiiii

That page is a 404 or something, but I definitely know some of the quotes in this thread come from the year I was an ATL on Mine Ride. My crew was very creative with spiels and I encouraged it. Until we got yelled at :(
