Whats so funny?

Anyone have any funny stories of things that happend to you or you have seen happen while @ the point?

When dumb guests who deface CP property or guests being rude to our favorite ride hosts get removed from the park by security. That's hilarious to me.

This happened about two years ago... I was in line for Millennium Force when a train was stopped on the lift. It didn't move for about 20 minutes, so people started leaving the line. At that same time, a helicoper was flying near the ride (doing aerial shots for something I presume). The group of girls in front of me grew very concerned and the "leader" of the group announced that they were leaving the line because they were air-lifting the passengers off of the train with the helicopter. After they left I was speechless, and was amazed at what some people come up with.

i was on ttd in the front row last year, well my train didnt launch but when we did the train didnt make it over. so the 2nd time the train made it but it got stuck on the braking platform. right before the train started to move a bird poped on me. it was right on my sholder and everyone behind me and my friend next to me were laughing. i was mad then, but now its kind of funny.

This really isn't in the funny catagory, but it was the kind of thing that makes you shake your head.

Three young boys were running from the Magnum exit to the entrance so they can get a last ride. The boy in back didn't see a bench, hit it with his legs, did a nose dive into the bench and then the ground.

While he was on the ground in painful agony, the other two boys stopped, turned around, and yelled at the boy on the ground as loud as they could "HURRY UP!"

When the boy didn't get up right away, the other two boys ran back, grabbed the boy on the ground by his upper arms and kind of dragged him along while he was trying to limp.

I guess they made last ride!

That's pretty funny Pete. Its like when you laugh at AFV when the little kid smacks his dad in the junk with a whiffle bat. You know it hurts, but its still funny.

Remember two rules about comedy.

1)Its always funnier when it happens to someone else.

2)Its only funny till someone gets hurt.....then its HILARIOUS.

Ha ha! At least it didn't happen while you were launching milleniumforcerocks.

Anyways I have a story that’s kind of funny. It was last year on Dragster during a breakdown. These 2 (foreign) guys, who I suspect didn’t speak English, were waiting in one of the trains in the unloading station (right next to the ramp) and were smoking! Well nobody said anything until a ride op came over the speakers and said "will the 2 gentlemen in the train please reframe from smoking in the train" (or something like that).

But the men just sat there like they didn’t hear anything and continued to smoke, so the ride op repeated "Will the gentlemen, etc etc".........but the men still continued to smoke. And during this, I and several others (even some of the other riders in the train) were signaling to the men to put out the cigarettes.....yet they continued to smoke!
So the ride op walked out of the station and around to the train and took the cigarettes out of their hands and threw them on the ground. And they sat there looking embarrassed.

Copyed from my TR:

Woke up late, at 850, but still got in early and made it to the TTD freeway merge point. There, I meant a nine year old girl and her 2 parents. They asked if I would ride with their daughter, since I was by myself. I said sure, and we all went up and were waiting for front seat when the amazing happened. The checker yelled for 2 riders and the parents bolted, and rode. I was stuck with their daughter, with 10 minutes till I could get on the ride. We finally rode in a middle seat, then I went with her to look at our picture, We did, and came to find her parents were no where to be found. She said she'd be fine, so I left, knowing they were probably at Raptor by then

That's pretty funny. That'll be me in about 15 years, leaving my daughter behind to get a good seat.

This is back two summers ago this August...

It was a really hot day and the Dragster line was as long as ever. I remember waiting for about 2 hours just to get to the station where we jumped in line for the front row of the back loading platform. The entire time, my cousin and I had been waiting behind a guy that was the epitome of an impatient moron. He complained constantly about how inefficient Dragster was and how slow the crew was loading and unloading. As luck would have it, he stayed in front of us all of the way up to the station and into the line for the front seat. He and his equally impatient son were the next ones on when a lady a couple rows back tripped over something and fell down in the hole underneath the track (I'm sure someone here was there and can recall this incident). While everyone else felt bad for the lady and was concerned for her well-being, this guy only cared about the fact that he had to wait even longer for his ride. He laughed at the lady calling her a "dumb <insert cuss word>" for falling down...

Things finally were clear to go and him and his son were ready to board the train. The gates opened, he stepped forward, tripped, and fell down just short of the hole. I couldn't help myself at that point and busted up laughing. He gave me a really bad look as he pulled himself up off of the ground. Seconds before the train left the station, I spoke out to him and his son while still laughing "How did you miss falling down below like the lady?" He didn't respond and returned the dirty look on his way out. I was surprised he wasn't waiting for me at the exit ramp. Oh how impatience and ignorance can come back to bite you where the sun doesn't shine... ;)

My first ride on Dragster wasn't as enjoyable as it should have been. It was October 23, 2004 and it was a cooler day out and we rode in the morning so I had a wind breaker on. I was really excited for the ride. So we launched, went up and it was all good. But.. on the way down, my coat wasn't zipped up all the way so the "left side top of the zipper metal part" flapped in the wind repeatedly hitting my lip. That may not sound bad, but the 120mph wind flapping that zipper metal part hurt like a bad b word. I could feel it and it stung very bad and I wanted to hold it down to stop the excruciating pain, but more than that I wanted to have my hands up for the on ride photo. After I got off the ride my lip was very swollen up. I didn't care, I was just happy that I rode Dragster. In the end it all worked out, the swelling went down and my hands were up in the picture, it's on my profile, check it out.

I was in line for maxair and someone said, i heard that it flips all the way around and they call it max air because the creators name was max.

Also in line for gemini someone was talking and said and i quote "yea, ever since they built it in 1999 ive riden it 4 times, it sure doesn't feel like 90 MPH!"

I love stupid first timers.

One time I was standing right next to the Top Thrill Dragster sign about to take a picture when a woman came up to me and said "What coaster is this? Is it Millennium Ride?"
I just pointed to the Dragster sign and said "Uh, No.....and its Millennium Force. That one’s blue." Then she said, "I thought that was called Corkscrew??"
So I looked at her and pointed towards Millennium.

Then she got it.:)

Oh man those crazy GeePee - what will they come up with next???

I got some questions for you.

What time is the 10:00 laser light show?

Can you tell me where the Magnum Force is?

Joking LOL:)

I was playing miniature golf with a friend. I took my first shot and then headed toward the hole to wait on him to take his shot. There was a little black bird perched on the edge of the green that flew away. I turned to watch him shoot when the bird buzzed the back of my neck. He called me Fabio all day after that.

Not that it matters but I swear I remember you posting that same story somewhere else, when I was reading old posts. Where was it?

Back in 1973 i worked at the Surrey, and one day I looked up to see a large group of Amish or Mennonite girls walking up the midway. Must have been 25 of them, laughing and having a good time. A few hours later I looked up and here came the same group from the opposite direction, and everything was the same except they had each bought (and were actually wearing) one of those silly Robin Hood-style felt hats with the large feather on it. Embroidered across the front were their names, of course. Chastity, Prudence, Charity, the list went on. I don't know who had a better laugh over this, them or me.

Those young ladies were the talk of the Rec that night.

Tophat, I know I've posted it before but I'm not sure where. It might have been in the Dragster forum under a topic about people's first time on Dragster or something.

yesterday at cedar point, i saw something funny and sad at the same time. i had the misfortune of seeing a white teenage boy wearing a do rag. lil shady had the rapper hand signals and motions going on and everything. the black kid with him should have been beating the fecal matter out of him. didn't vanilla ice already provide enough shame to go around?
