Throwing Quarters at Millennium Trains

Ive never seen anything beyond smokers in line, line jumpers, and hauking loogies at the fish under Mantis. That is pretty pathetic that someone could get a kick out of that.:(

I've witnessed guest stupidity numerous times at the park (i.e. a group of kids smoking a joint in Raptor's queue)

Wow, thats pretty bad!

That's good to know. I have little doubt that those individuals were banned from the park. I can't see how they wouldn't ban them for such behavior. Makes me wonder just how many people are on their banned list.

..Al

That is terrible. I hope that they never have another opportunity to come back to Cedar Point. That would hurt so bad to get hit. Your still moving in upwards of 60 mph. at that point.

People are not insane, they are just plain stupid.

Once, while I was on Magnum, some idiots were throwing pennies off the first hill. The people in the seats behind us told the ride ops. I'm not sure what happened after that. I'm sure there's some serious consequences to that.

A small group of guys in the Millennium Force's quene were smoking pot. They saw security coming so the took off running along the fence next to the brake run, the went towards the station. They got caught at the point where the fence meets the ramp because it's a dead end.

Another time, someone decided to piss off the side of the platform in the front row quene.

One day, a couple kids though it would be funny to throw rocks from the exit area by the track before the photo booth. Thought it was funny until they got kicked out of the park.

Another couple of guests made their own ride agains. (These are passes given that say "sorry your day was interrupted...") Even Bob Wozniak came for that occasion.

I was on the Millennium a couple of years ago, and someone near the front of the train threw a quarter up in the air as we went over the first hill. The train was going faster than the quarter was falling so nobody got hit that was on the traiin. I was not able to see who threw it, but I thought it was a very stupid act

It was a few years ago now - two girls sharing a joint in the queue for Raptor. One had a tracheotomy scar on her throat.

Just lovely.

You don't get a scar from a tracheotomy. You have a hole in your throat.

That eventually heals up and leaves a scar on your neck.... ::rolls eyes::

That's insane. I forget who it is (Jeff maybe?) on here that has a story about a guy pissing off the ramp. People are insane.

Im sorry I know thats wrong and stupid but that made me laugh. :) I rode Mille with my girlfriend last year and the guy in the front row threw his shirt off the top of the lift.

^^

What?!?

You mean the human body can heal itself? That's crazy talk!

Was this around 8:30 pm on Wednesday? I thought I saw three people being escorted off by police when I got in line.

If I ever got hit by anything like that, the police better find the people who did it before I do. Not that I'm violent, but man I'd be pissed.

I actually thought that thunderstorm was kind of nice, because I got there right as it was moving off, and a lot of people were leaving. The place was pretty dead after that.

Yeah, that's about the right time--it was our second ride on MF that day and it was just starting to get dark.

Around the opening there is superficial tissue. When my nephew was 2 he had a tracheotomy to enlarge his trachea. The hole will always be there on everybody that has one. It's akin to piercing the ear. The hole never goes away.

Roll your eyes all you want. It does not make you right or funny.

Actually it does make him right AND funny since you're wrong.

Maybe you should know what you're talking about before you say someone is wrong.

Here's a link as to what exactly a tracheotomy is but if you're too lazy (which most pot smokers are) I'll quote the most pertinent information regarding to this discussion.

The tube will be removed if the tracheotomy is temporary. Then the wound will heal quickly and only a small scar may remain.

Yeah, ::rolls eyes::

Ok look loopy. I don't care about you or how awesome you pretend to be. Like I'm going to listen to someone who A. cites Answers.com and B. thinks he is king of the 15 year olds on pointbuzz.com. It's losers like you who make this site puerile.

I must have been so lazy when I sat in a chair most nights while my brother worked nights and then I went to work without sleep. All so I could be with my nephew when his initial tracheotomy surgery was performed. Don't bother noting that I witnessed first hand how things are done. No no no... that would be above your holiness to stop making the same pot smoking remark over and over and over and over again. Because beating a dead horse is the best kind of horse to beat.

But I understand. You're so upset that someone would come onto this board and ruin your day because of what they do in their personal time.

When I go to sleep tonight on top of my huge pile of money that I made being a total dope smoking loser. I'll think of you. Never mind my accomplishments in life such as engineering degrees or the house I bought or the child I have conceived. It all sums up to what loopy thinks of me. *** Edited 6/2/2007 10:57:53 PM UTC by Coastern3rd***

Not to change the subject... but what exactly is "pureile"?

We had a few incidents on Millennium Force in 2005 with people throwing quarters or other change at the trains as they came by the enterance ramp. It is hard to believe that someone would do that, but unfortunatly, some people are just that stupid. What is sad is that "common sense" isn't so common anymore. I hope that the people on the train were alright and not injured.

No, none of that really matters.

I just like when you're wrong.

I belive it was just last summer someone at yankee stadium jumped from the upperdeck, to the net above the lowerdeck that protects spectators from pop flies, to see if it would support his weight.

It was NOT just last summer, try 3 years ago.

Being from NY and the fact that I watched it happen during the game, the moron in question was drunk as I'm sure the idiots standing in line were, and he was arrested with a $750 fine.

Either way, there's no excuse for any of that kind of behavior.
