If you have stories,videos, or comments about your amusement park visits and want to share post it here.

This video is really messed up. A "bigger" kid is falling out on a sling shot ride and his mom, sitting next to him, just laughs. It's sorta funny in a mean way!

[DreamTheater2005]

It's also sad the the lady next to him is his mom.

Source?

Why would he call her Janice and not Mom?

[thetrooper]

I love that video.
I was laughing so much when I first saw it.
But it is a bit old tbf...

[Astros161]

stepMOM perhaps.....


I've seen his before. Nothing new.

[RocknGuitar]

yeah, I've seen this a million times. It's like three years old. Still funny, though.

[thetrooper]

It was in the newspaper about some fat girl who couldn't fit on a ride at drayton manor lol.
It was a swinging inverter ship type thing.
I would keep that quiet if it was me...I definetely wouldn't go to a newspaper.
That's so embarrassing :haha:

[Rtoups]

Fat people and roller coasters don't mix well...

[Maylene]

Yea at Knott's Berry Farm a fat lady was trying to get on Ghostrider. She had to lift her "belly" up and the ride ops had to but the push to get the lap bar down (honestly I don't know how she got on). After the train left the station everyone towards the car she was in was laughing. That had to be so embarrassing.

[Garfield 06]

Here's a good one, though it does not have to do with weight. Let me set the scene: Elitch Gardens, Last Year, 1:00 P.M. On the Boomerang coaster (and the smoothest one ever at that). I'm sitting in a row alone, and, while inline, I hear a couple chatting, with the woman seeming quite afraid about what she has lined up to do. They end up in the row behind me, and, once the restraints are secured, she becomes a little panicky. A ride op who is probably a friend of theirs (he knows them by name) spends the next two minutes in the station calming her down, aided by another ride op. As we are pulled backward out of the station, the ride-op yells, "Don't worry, we've only had nine deaths on this ride." And the screaming ensuses. A very high pitch scream, one that would be comparable to a teapot on steroids at the volume of a 767. And she keeps screaming, the same way everytime, throughout the ENTIRE ride. When we hit the brakes, EVERYONE in the que was laughing so hard, some were near crying with laughter (myself included). Thankfully for the ride-ops, a shift change occured during the ride, so they were able to bail before our train got back. They were on a path nearby, and boy did that woman scream and curse at them. And now, everyone in the general area of the ride was Laughing with no restraint. I still wish i'd gotten that photo...

That stuff is NASTY. When we went to the Coca Cola Museum/factory in Atlanta there was this thing at the end where you try Coke products from around the world. I had to try all of them...my parents took a picture of me when i tried it, you can just imagine the look on my face. I don't see how people can drink that.

lmao
wow that must have ben halirous haha:

I have another story.
I'm on maliboomer at DCA, the ride starts were lifted of the ground a little bit to get ready to launch and the ride op said to raise our hands and scream if were ready to ride (I sadly did this). At the exact moment I did he launched it. It scared the crap outta me I was totaly not expecting it at all!

Whenever I go to World of Coke I just keep getting normal coke refills, maybe Fanta sometimes. Then when we get back to my aunt's place, I get even more free Coke since she's a big wig there!

Now just let me edit in my story about my first time going on the subs and the longest wait in the history of the universe. I know Garfield's interested.

Edit: Atari's having some problems and keeps deleting what I type when I hit preview post so later guys.

This happened yesterday at a fair.
I went on this one ride called Loop-O-Plane and a little girl is on it to with her brother. After it starts I hear the little girl screaming and saying OMG really loud but the full phrase. she does that throughout the entir ride and when everyone gets off I see her crying. It was cute but funny.

While on the Haunted House, we were riding through it, and a series of funny incidents happened. This rat prop poped out and while that happened it fell off the stump, and landed in front of our car following us the whole way towards the end of the ride, squeaking. Than our car got stuck at the bottom of this hill and another car comes on queue and hits us at the bottom. And last but not least, the water fall at the end didn't turn off, so we were wetter than normal.

[Maylene]

Plokoon where was this Haunted House at? Sounds like it was really ghetto :p



So is anyone hitting up any amusment parks soon?
I'm going some where in the LA area this weekend, most likely KBF or SFMM.

[patk]

[kylr23]

Yeup I have plenty of good storys. This one is a good one,
My sister was riding Powerserge (Thrill ride), and this ride is known to get stuck in the air. And you wanna know what happened, she got stuck for a bit. :p

[jaybuoy]

On Volcano at fantasy island the man said to me mate is that yours on the floor so I looked down and he pulled the lever we shot into the air, and because of the speed my head was stuck looking down it was so scary lol.

Also in Drayton manor on the old 3-d cinema dome thing me and my dad went on it and for some reason there was alot of american people in the park maybe they all came over as a group I dont no, but when your are ment to stand up on the ride they all layed down even though the sign said stand lol.

THIS (http://www.knoebels.com/images/rides/PowerSurge.jpg) Power Surge? We get that at our annual carnival every year, and I'm in love with it. :heart:

[mophead999]

Me and my freinds spent two hours on line hitting on girls

[Garfield 06]

^That my friend, is not funny. For all intents, it's rather dumb.

:up: yes that is, except ours stays there :p. Its a fun ride indeed all the flipyness.


This one time on Adrenalin my sister told this one person whe was sitting where a person got sick. She wanted off :haha:

[Plokoon111]

Uhh, couldn't stand the power surge. . . I nearly almost screamed on that ride, it moved my stomach in too many ways that I didn't even know could move. . lol

Maylene it was the haunted house at Oc MD. And in fact it might seem ghetto to the normal eye, but its completely astonishing, very historic and great!

[Maylene]

Iv'e never been on a power surge. I gotta try one out it looks crazy!

[kylr23]

^You should good ride good ride:up:

Ok 3 maybe 4 years ago when we went to Ceader Point, a friend of ours who went with us was using the fan and she got it to close to her long blond hair :o.
It got tangled up and well she got it stuck in her hair. Dont worry we got it out but man was that funny. :haha:

[The_Mad_Hadder]

Once uopon a time i was at Cedar Point on top thrill dragor. In the launch area, i counted down from 5 till the launch. i purposely started counting to late and counted loud so everyone could here me. By the time i got to 3 the ride had already launched and everyone started hyper-ventilating in fear. :D I was only 10 at the time and the person next to me seemed very... frightened. I had my hands up the whole time while her knuckles were squeezing the handle bars. When i got of, i counted down again while watching and had the same reaction. :D

[Maylene]

We woke up around 7:00am, got ready, and we were on the road about 8:00am. Nice drive only took about an hour or so but got there at good time. We were extremely lucky and got the closest parking (not the parking struture) to Disneyland. It was only a short 5 minute walk great start. We get in the park use the restrooms while waiting for the rest of our group to finish a Disney Member came up to us and asked us a few survey questions. They then asked us if we wanted to try out a "funfinder gps". It was a gps that showed you where you were in disneyland and you could write comments about the park example: if you see something you like send a good message and vice versa. They said if we used it till 4:00pm and answerd the quick surveys every hour we would get $40. We said yes showed us how to use it and in about 5 mins we started or day. We decided to go on matterhorn firstit was only about a 15 minute wait not too bad. The ride it's self was a little rough but it was fun. After matterhorn my group got in line for Finding Nemo, I went to space mountain to get fastpasses (good thing I did) it was about 11:00am and the fast pass returin time was 3:30pm - 4:30pm
I walked back to nemo and found my group. I waited about 35mins. The ride it's self I found, was a little boring but a good Disney Ride. It was very hot out side so we decided to go on splash mountain. On the way over we got some fries, drinks, and turkey legs. The line for Splash mountain was about 45mins but we were eating so we didn't mind. The ride was fun, and we got wet it felt really nice. We went to the haunted mansion about a 20 min wait. good ride. Then we went to get fast passes for Indy. Return time was 8:00-9:00 :eek:. We went to space mountain to use our fast passes and it was closed.

Ok i'm getting really tired of typing i'll post the rest later:up:

[B&Man]

i was checking seats at xcelerator one day...the lap bar can accomidate large people but the seat belt if kinda iffy. some fat guy gets on so i checked his seat so he asked if i could help him. i struggled with getting the seat belt to fit so he tells me to hold on for a minute. he picks his stomach up, thats right picks his stomach up and says go for it...so i clip the seat belt in and it fits, but he lets his stomach go and pulls the lap bar down, causing my arm to get stuck between his fat and his leg.

[thetrooper]

^:haha:...It would be even better if the ride started to move woth your arm stuck there.
There's a ride at drayton manor with "big-boy" seats.
That always makes me laugh

That's strange that those Fastpasses were issued because from now on Space doesn't open until 10:00. It also sucks that I can't meet you because I'm going this weekend for a three-dayer.

[Maylene]

That would be chill. We still have a day left on or passes, we might go this weekend. If we do i'll send you a message.

[Coaster Guru]

Yipee!

Well, I might as well post about the story in my sig as people have been PMing me for decades about whether it's true or not.


Well I was with my friend in Cali Adventure and we decide to go on Screamin'. Well we climbed into the green train through single rider and I put my hat into the little pouch in front of me. We go around once and come back to the station. We climb out and go see the pictures, then meet each other by the water(we didn't sit together, remember?). He comes up and asks where my ESPN Zone hat is that I've had for years, I look over and the green train is just launching. Without fail I get back in line and he just follows along(it's a great ride, if a measly launch). Being from New York he tries to take advantage of the moment and tries to explain to me the odds of getting in the same seat. I was barely listening and just staring at the green train rumble overhead. Miraculously I got the same seat in the same train(I know because the harness next to me had been removed, presumably permanently because it's still not back on. If you go to the park today you can still tell where I sat.). I look down into the bag where I put my hat and it was gone. Ah well, it was covered in dog hair and saliva anyway. I had to go run back to ESPN Zone and buy a new one, which was the last one left. I've managed to keep the new hat cleaner and better and I still where it every time I go, but I've made a habit to always check the bag. I put the story in my sig to remind myself to never lose a hat again.
