tell the difference between a regular and a tourist

TTD 120mph's avatar

Hmmm.....that sounds just a tad bit biased to me. I don't really know any regular (including myself) that judges other people.....ESPECIALLY if they're smiling and enjoying the park. And those who do need to be smacked with a 2x4.

Plus, if you're at Cedar Point and you're in a corner (wherever that may be), why are you even at the park?

To the tourists who walk at speeds of 5 m.p.h. you need to move either side of the midway because most of us are on a mission of getting to the biggons. I hate it when tourists go "grandma slow" to get to a roller coaster.

Also, I love it when you almost get into an accident because tourists who drive to the park are in such a hurry *coughMichigancough*. The park is not going anywhere for the time being.

Walk around them if you're in such a hurry.

I cannot really walk around them when there is a sea of tourists.

I don't really mind slow people cause I'm use to just going around them. What I don't care for is the large groups that do that.....but spread out across almost the entire midway.

Will the world end if you have to wait an extra 20 seconds?

I would say 5 MPH is a pretty impressive walking speed!

Besides, I think people who dart from one coaster to another should slow down and relax. It's an amusement park, not a competition. :)

Tourists: End up riding a total of 5 rollercoasters by the end of the day, ride ALL the carnival rides, take FOREVER in a food line, buy soveiners(i cant spell), and they buy those "Maverick" cups and they give rollercoasters "new" names. (EX: Mantis-they call it Praying Mantis) and they go in circles from coaster to coaster.

Regular: Ride EVERYTHING by the end of the day, Don't stop to eat unless if theres a short line or if theyre really hungry, they carry a phone, their pass/license/keys/whatever and some money just in case, and dont stop walking in the middle of the pathway


So stoked for 2010 :]

^dont forget tourists call maggie MAGNUM FORCE

Tourists never know where the entrance to Magnum is.

Tourists always say "the" in front of the ride's names, if that was already mentioned before in this long thread, and it's funny to be in line and listen to their conversations about everything they have ridden, the "yummy" food they just ate, and debating about what ride to ride next and getting ride names mixed up.

It's also funny to see those huge groups of people who wear the same color shirts, especially in bright colors, and walk really slow, pointing at rides and they will sit and stare at passers by on the midway.

HAHA! i love the school groups! they make me giggle. But, I HATE it when they line jump though and say "Oh my friends were saving us spots" Whoa man did that make me mad last season...

We were waiting in line for Raptor and like 6 school kids cut in front of us cuz their friends were in front of us. They were so obnoxious i wanted to punch them in the face. But eventually they realized that all of their other friends were like 10 people behind us so they let us and the other 10 people behind us cut. So it was all good when we got our spot back :)

You know what I find hysterical about those tourists? They're just so . . . so, inferior to us! We just totally rule and they suck. We're like completely full of smarts and those stoopid tourists are, well . . . like the complete opposite of completely full of smarts. It's just so funny watching them trying to find their way around a place they've never visited before. What a bunch of idiots!

Got to hand it to us, we're really lucky we're us. Because if we weren't, we would be somebody else.

Well since I moved to Florida to work for Disney I haven't been able to make a trip to Cedar Point but there are some things Disney tourists do you might find funny. They all have strollers for the souvineirs (no kids for the strollers) and the bags are spilling on to the ground, a map, lots of bags, and no clue as to where they are going. They stop in the middle of a crowd to figure out where they are. In fact, us regulars are always walking around them irritated. And they call the Disney Reservation Center to buy tickets to Universal Studios and Sea World. And they call Disney's Hollywood Studios either MGM or Universal not realizing that Hollywood Studios used to be MGM and that Universal is a different park.

Hmmm, wise words I wish a certain single rider guy (you all know who I'm talking about) would listen to.

^ Now, now Adam let us not start that rant about that one single rider guy. :-P

TTD 120mph's avatar

OH by no means. It's a pretty straight forward thing though. He needs to check himself before he wrecks himself.....or before someone else does.
