Speils from around the park?

I was just wondering what spiels other rides had to know. For me personally I think I will always be haunted by the ones I needed to memorize-

"Flyers in a moment the floor will fall from beneath you and you will go parallel to the floor. Please do not grab the blue walls- CLEAR GOING DOWN!" (and sometimes on a bad day for me I would bounce the platform by accident or lose power and have to go "Clear going up *up* Clear going down"

"Flyers your flight line is clear- 3..2..1 Fly!"

What park did you work in? That ride doesn't sound anything like a CP ride. The ride sounds more like X-Flight except X-Flight isn't blue.

sounds like ripcord to me...

*edit* timbers spiel:
"oncoming riders, please step into the train carefully, only two people per seat. just as a reminder, this ride is not recomended for guests with heart or back problems or those who may be pregnant. please secure all loose articals including hats, glasses, or anything else you could lose during the ride - michigans adventure is not responsible for anything lost, stolen, or damaged. picture taking is strictly prohibited and cameras must be left here in the station. at this time, please ensure your seatbelt is fastened and then pull down on your lapbar. if you need any assistance, someone will be by shortly to help you. please remain seated, facing forward, and keep your hands and arms down and inside the train at all times. ready. clear. see you back here in 2 minutes and 23 seconds and enjoy your ride on one of the top rated wooden roller coasters in the world: shivering timbers"

"welcome back riders, how was your ride? alright, when the train comes to a complete stop, push down then pull up on your lapbars, exit carefully to your left and walk down the ramp to the exit. thank you for riding shivering timbers and enjoy the rest of your day here at michigan's adventure."

wow, i had no idea it was that long until i wrote it down, lol. *** Edited 11/9/2004 12:50:48 AM UTC by PKevin2004***

Jeeze Kevin! Your bringing back the good ol' memories of my favorite wooden roller coaster! lol ( that was when I used to own property 2 min away and i could ride Timbers every day.)

Hey Kev, do the still do the song? "Michigan's Adventure, it's a whooollee... summer of fun!"

Yes, they do.

Pure torture.

MrScott

oh yeah, the auto speil along with that song is going still......all day..........

just wondering by a long shot does anyone have any wicked twister auto spiels that they have recorded and put on their computer so i can download?

when i worked on Wicked Twister and i was mouthing everything that lady was saying i had a guest ask me if that was me on the speil. Like it sounded like me or something.... haha.... "why yes thats my saductive sexy voice, you wanna come visit me later?"

I really couldn't even tell you what ours said because I heard the things so many times that I totally blocked it out. However.... MF's spiels.... "Clear. Riders for your own safety, please keep your hands, arms and legs inside the car at all times! Thank you and enjoy your 300 ft drop on Millennium Force!" and.... "Welcome back riders... how was your RIDE?! When the trains come to a complete stop, unbuckle your seat belt, lift up on your yellow lap bar and exit to your RIGHT AND RIGHT ONLY. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your day here at Cedar Point, America's Roller Coast!"

Good memories!!

saductive

Is this a cross between sadistic and seductive? If so, your spieling ability would be better put to use on Mine Ride, I hate those cars, makes it the most uncomfortable ride, which is why I usually ride it once and am done for the trip.

It looks like such a fun ride but she can be a complete witch once you get in her and sit down.

Shivering Timbers.... I rode that back in the day! Even have a ST sweatshirt. Doesn't sound 2 off from Mean Streaks spiel...lol

^-----sup Ivy! How's those nipple peircings doing?

Anyways this is the Front Rentals Speil.

Hello and welcome to the Rental Center, what can I get for you today?...A small locker will be $3 plus a $5 deposit, for a total of $8...Ok your locker number is 123 this is an all day locker in which you can go in and out of as many times as you want, and then when you're done, at the end of the day, just return the key a long with this little blue recepeit to get your $5 deposit back. You are all set, enjoy your day at Cedar Point, America's Rock and Roller Coast.

This wasn't mandatory, but it was just as fun as speiling for a ride. I said it 100-150 times a day, depending on the number of transactions I had. *** Edited 11/10/2004 8:19:21 AM UTC by RiptideRentals***

Ah yes, I love the MF spiels...the "exit to the right, and only to the right" part was the most frustrating, because someone always gets off on the bayside of the ride. I sometimes would say, "If you're not exiting on the right side, you're on the wrong side" or just stand in the middle of the platform and do "flight attendant hand movements" to direct the riders either "down the steps or down the ramp to the midway"...The best part about having an unload station is that when a train dispatches into the load station, someone always says "Where did the people go?"

There doin good; what sheesh that came out of nowhere!!

Yea thats Ripcord. "keep your elbows locked all the way up and all the way down through your first free fall. once you have crossed the platform go ahead and spread your wings and fly."

Oh yes- the infamous "spread your wings and fly" saying with the flapping arm movement bonus. ha!ha! I always felt like such a dork when I had to say that. But Kelly you forgot the first part- we HAVE to remind them to look at the camera operators. Remember when they screwed up like 3 or 4 times in a row and we had to keep reflying those little girls? I was about to kill them that day! :)

In 4 days I heard

"Failure to follow all posted safety rules and audio announcements, may result in serious accident or injury"

so many times I wanted to throw up. Now I sit back in New York and would love to hear that again.

Oh god I know. If I had a dollar for every time we had to fly someone again because of the video I would be rich. You gotta remember to include that in the spei.

Ah, Kelly and Ashley. Our famous RipCord employees! Hi! *Thinks really hard to remember RipCord spiels* Let's see. Can I remember all of them? :-)

Flight Suit Person: Go ahead and step in the black loops at the bottom of the suit, and pull them up like a big pair of pants. Now, clap your hands together, lean forward, and bring your arms out through the sides. Please hold this right here while I adjust your backstrap. OK now. Please put your feet together, look straight ahead, and don't look down! (I hated when people were like, "Why can't I look down?" Ha ha!) OK! Here's your footbar. Hold onto this and follow me to the gate!

Assistant Controller?: Next flyers, come on up!

Controller: Line up on this black line, drop your footbars and stand on them. (I told them the flyers to raise their arms which is not required to say, so I could hook up the side clips.) Now, link your elbows together (middle person's on top if there are three flyers) and grab for your own wrists. To the flyer pulling the ripcord: This is your ripcord. When you reach the top of the tower after I say "3, 2, 1...Fly!" pull your ripcord.

Assistant Controller: OK, guys. The floor is gonna fall below you. Please do not grab for the blue walls. Clear going down.

Assistant Controller: Guys, keep your arms locked just like that all the way up, and all the way down through your freefall. When you pass through the arch and over the platform, go ahead and spread your wings. Look straight ahead, and smile and wave at the camera! Have a great flight, guys.

Controller: Flyers, your flight line is clear. 3, 2, 1...Fly! (Single flyer: Solo flyer, your...)

Assistant Controller: Next time back, everybody grab the blue loops with all (#) hands! (Next time back, grab the blue loop with both hands.)

Assistant Controller: Grab the loop, all hands, hold on tight!

Assistant Controller: Drop the loop! Relax your knees and kick out your footbars!

(A.C. & C.: How was the flight?)

Controller: When this blue wall comes up, grab onto it, and help yourself stand up. Push down, not out. Once standing, please bend down and pick up your footbars.

Wow, that's a lot!

Katie- you are such an overachiever! I was trying to share the speils- show off! hehe! Good job though I completley forgot about the flight suiting part.
