TOP THRILL DRAGSTER (Wait line)

ok you know how milenium only lets a certain amout of people in the actual loading part in at once? don't you think top thril dragster should dothat? it would be so much better than getting the the front thinking your there than you have like another hour to wait in the loading place!you might not think it would be easier but i sure think it would.

Learn some punctuation and grammar. Also you don't need to yell Top Thrill Dragster. Read the rules. Also there is a specific forum for TTD and this topic has been covered many times before. Use search.

The best thing they could do is to have a person at the turnstile to limit the number of people in there. Not to two in each row like at MF, but just limit it so the station doesn't get over 2/3 to 3/4 or so full. That way people can still breath in there, people can wait for the seat they want, and also, they have several trains of people from which to find single riders.

Some people don't like assigned seating, some people don't like packed stations. This is the way to do it right.

Sometimes people like to start fights in the TOP THRILL DRAGSTER station. Those people suck. Hey, if you're trying to take "cutsies" in line where I am anywhere, I'm gonna call you on it. If you then proceeed to push me to try and get me out of your way, I'm going to call you names.

There's been soooo many times where I just want to report someone for linejumping. On my june 28th visit, me and my friends were in line and this teenager girl was weaving her way through the line rambling along the way to people "Oh sorry I was at the bathroom". WELL the queue before the ramp was filled so it was about a 45-50 minute wait.....yet she ended up stoping right before the station with 2 of her friends. I was just wondering (as was dozens of other people) "She was in the bathroom THAT long?!!......yeah BS!!!"
I dont think there's been ONE visit where someone doesnt cut soooo far in line that I have to sit there and wonder where the hell they were and why I let them through!!
It's people that do line jumping to that degree that really piss me off.

Dude, you tell them to wait. I hate it when people just stand there...

It has almost come to blows a few times with me and other people trying to cut in, one lady even had her husband meet me at the exit. He saw me and started yelling at my girlfriend. I grabbed him by the face and told him to deal with me at which point he told me it was not worth ruining his day. Some people are total poons.

Allot of the time, the person goes through the line and past me so fast that I dont have time to react. Also...I dont like to make a scene. I also dont like violence. I mean I practice iaido but Im not a violent person and I've been taught not to start it. So I always have this fear that the person would start something if I were to say something. Thats partly why I dont say anything.

Well, since Iaido focuses on drawing ones sword and being "present" to the attack. I hope you would not use it in the park. You probably would not be let in the gates with a blade anyway.

Try Budo next time. It focuses more on enlightenment and not hurting your opponent. Otherwise known as Aikido.

You could always do like me and learn to shoot accurately/carry a Glock. :)

Well, not at Cedar Point, but since we're talking about our favorite forms of self defense, I figured I'd bring it up.

^^LOL no I wouldn’t get far with a katana. :) Sorry, I wasn’t trying to imply that I would use Iaido if I were to ever be confronted. I was just saying that I wouldn’t purposely start something because I know a martial art (like some kids do sadly). I mean I've seen fights break out in line when someone confronts another person for something (line jumping and others) and I just don’t want that to happen.

And I've actually been shown some Aikido techniques....but it’s been a while since I've practiced them. And it’s been a while since I've done Iaido too....as I was forced to quit. I occasionally practice with my friends.

Oh and that engrish thing made me laugh.:)

haha Josh, I was reading thinking "I'm sure that guy would have loved 8 rounds of my .380" and then I read your post. Typical. :)

I agree that I hate when people just stand there and watch. Confront the bastards! I've had several thugs wait at the bottom of the exit ramp to give me evil looks. The nerve of some people - they jump me in line and then make like I am wrong! :) It makes me so furious that some people are so dumb.

I should pribably mention that I don't so much care when one person goes up to meet one other, but I can't stand the groups of three or four catching up with three or four more and before you know it, there are 20 of them. You guys know what I'm talking about.

Yep and then somehow you become the raciest one.

I was waiting in line for DT one time, my party and I were just entering the "Loading Bay" room. This group of about 20 college kids decide to meet up with their lone friend near the exit of the Loading Bay. About 2 or 3 in, and I stuck my hand out and said "Uh-Uh". The guy was like kinda like pushing me and my hand out of the way nonchalantly. I whipped out my cell phone, and told him I was calling security. [I even dialled an extension, haha] The guy was like "Whoa...okay buddy you win..." and took his group out through the exit door.

I love using the security line.. Haha

What? Was I showing some shoulder? Cleavage? I apologize for being racy ;).

But seriously, I know what you meant to say and I agree.

I love when you see them coming you just put both hands on the railing. *** Edited 7/15/2006 9:21:16 PM UTC by CPFan07***

^And if they push you out of the way, pretend to fall and get hurt(sprained arm or something). Then say "What the heck are you doing?!! Why are you cutting in line!!??". That should attract some attention. :)

But I do think I'll do that next time it happens....just put my hands on both the rails and say no.

Sometimes English bites you in the ass. :)

No pun intended.

speaking of cutting in dragsters line..i was waiting before it had opened and there was a fam of 3 infront of my bro and I, (we stayed on point so got in early) well the line was pretty damn long, well these people who got in at the normal time..or who got in a little late decided to catch up and join the three others so a total of 5 people in front, and i made a joke that we should call all of our friends and have them cut us in line too so it would be fun and what not...i couldnt believe it, and these people saw nothing wrong with it. it saddens me to see this in people.. worst ive seen in years
