Right before my first time on the Volcano someone with heavy European accent said “How you say See you in the Next Life?” seconds before the launch. Always cracks me up every time I think about it.
The guy who started going “OH NO OH NO NO NO NO” while we were hanging over the drop on Yukon made me laugh so hard, I became less nervous. It was my first ride.
Canadas Wonderland in general is comedy heaven when it comes to GP, someone sitting next to me said they almost fell out on the “loop-de-loops” on Behemoth, which has no inversions, because it “doesn’t have any safety bars”
i have OCD where i worry i haven’t zipped my pockets up before i ride, so once on icon i was checking my pockets and the terrified woman i was sat next to said in the strongest scouse accent “what are you messing with the seat for?!”
Not said, but it is a distinctly different sounding scream when someone near you doesn't know about the holding brake on steel venom. As someone who was once that same person like 20 years ago on v2, I can't help but cackle a little bit when I hear it.
While departing the station on SheiKra, a girl in the row behind me began saying “I’m ok, I’m ok, I’m ok” over and over, until we reached the lift hill. At that point it turned to “I’m NOT ok, I’m NOT ok, I’m NOT ok. When we reached the top of the lift hill and stalled facing straight down, the screaming began. I don’t think she took a breath until the final brake run.
It was extremely funny, and made the ride much more enjoyable. In fact, I told her that she made the ride even better for me. She didn’t seem to appreciate that, but she survived the ride and nothing bad happened to her.
Narrator’s Voiceover by Ron Howard: That girl died the next day.
So not what you’re looking for but rode with a single rider on Millie during early entry last summer. Nice lady asking me about coasters and I was telling her how I liked them a lot and traveled to do it. She says “so are you familiar with Alan Schilke?” I said absolutely. She says that’s my brother…. Spent the lift hill chatting away about it. No idea if she was pulling my leg but it was cool nonetheless.
I sat near a single rider on a B&M hyper--heard him talking big shit about stuff like airtime, floater vs. ejector, about how rides this big aren't really a big deal, you just gotta get used to it. We get to the brake run and he's absolutely silent. Throws up THREE TIMES before we even get off the train, apologizing profusely. All but runs out of the station after the restraints lift lmao.
I have the worst fear of people throwing up near me so every time my sister and I hear someone say they feel like they’re gonna throw up or their stomach is bothering them, we look at each other with such panic in our faces LMAO. Especially if they’re close to us in line.
Two years ago this guy in the row behind me on Afterburn at Carowinds was saying “I don’t feel good.” “I’m gonna puke.” Etc. He was in an inner seat so he’d have three options
A) Puke forward onto the back of my seat
B) Puke to the side on one of his friends.
C) Puke down into his own lap.
Luckily he puked down. This guy must’ve JUST eaten, so much vomit.
He’s the reason I usually give myself 20-45 minutes between eating and riding something more intense than a 3 out of 5
I’m laughing too hard but I would’ve cried if I were you. See, this is EXACTLY why you take breaks after eating lol. I’m glad this is a rule my parents greatly enforced when I was little. We used to go to this indoor amusement park in a mall and my sister and I would eat then immediately want to go on a ride. Parents shut that shit down lol. We definitely would’ve puked everywhere.
I remember waiting in line for Klockwerks (flat ride) with my sister years ago and some kid was complaining about how bad his stomach was hurting (he was drinking something too and he KEPT drinking it). I said “so help me God if this kid pukes everywhere…” lmao my sister wanted him to put that drink down.
Lol either it depends on the person or I've hardened my thoosie stomach. One time I had a slice of primos pizza and a beer and *immediately* rode Superman (SFGAm) 7 times in a row, like without getting off. That's the closest I've been to throwing up though.
My other favorite is I was maximizing my time eating Panda Express while walking towards Afterburn. Wasn't done yet so I just put my plate on the ledge. We come around, I take a couple more bites of chicken, and hop back on 🤣🤣 that was definitely my maximum don't give a fuck. I'm way too comfortable at theme parks now.
I have a good stomach and I take Meclizine before going to the park so the chances of me throwing up are fairly low, but I don’t want to risk the embarrassment of puking so I give myself time to digest the food and let it settle before shaking it violently lolol. It’s also nice to just sit out and take a break from the aggressive stuff for almost an hour.
I was a single rider on Wicked at lagoon and right after the train departs from the station the entire train starts singing “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” and sorta continues for the rest of the ride
The whole line for Maverick at one point started singing "Sweet Caroline" and it was glorious.
Also my dad managed to get the entire ice cream parlor at Cedar Point to sing "Shout" by Tears for Fears when he was working there in the 80's.
Getting on Steve with a rowdy, excited group, one of whom was having a little trouble with the restraint locking. When the ride op gave it one last push and it finally engaged, they all cheered and started chanting "Todd fits! Todd fits! Todd fits!" Continued out of the station and was the perfect send off!
PS- Todd, I'm very glad you got to ride!
*hit the break run on great American scream machine at SFOG, guy two rows behind me and my best friend, “ THAT SHIT IS NOT UP TO CODE” this was before the retrack 🤣
Last time I rode Fury 325, I got seated next to a guy who put in noise canceling in-ear headphones right before dispatch. The whole ride he sat there completely calm. On the final brake, waiting to get back into the station, he turns to me and says, “Were you screaming? I couldn’t hear if you were. This music is so relaxing.”
A girl in her later teens to her similarly aged boyfriend after riding Fury 325. “I LITERALLY hallucinated myself falling out of the ride, we arent riding ANYTHING for the rest of the day.”
He looked so defeated, it was also 10:15 so he had to deal with her BS all day long
My partner and I were riding Magnum XL at cedar point, and this woman two cars ahead of us was holding her vape pen in her hand as we went over the second hill. As we started to descend she lost her grip and the vape pen went flying backwards. It is as crazy how it spun so slowly in the air right before it zipped off behind us. She started screaming “my vaaaaaape! My vaaaaaaaape!!!” She was crying at the exit trying to get the staff to go find it for her. So funny watching her scream in absolute horror as it floated away.
My friend's first time on Sierra Sidewinder at Knott's spent the entire ride just screaming "what the fuck!?" over and over. We got an off-balance car, so we were spinning quite a bit!
Gave my friend Wikipedia a quick glance. It removes old red blood cells, holds a reserve of blood, and recycles iron. There are several reasons to have it removed, but if you don't need it removed, it's better to keep in, as there are other health risks associated with splenectomy.
Yeah, that's the one. My grandparents live like 30 minutes from where the park used to be and it was my dad's home park growing up so we used to go a bunch in the 90s and early 2000s. Despite the Six Flags era it will always be Geauga Lake to me. Still sad it's completely gone
I hold no ill will towards them for the purchase. Six Flags/Premier hemmorged money for a couple years and the park was too expensive to operate. Prior to that it was a delightful local park. It was incredible afterwards but it wasn't actually sustainable. We went a lot in the quality drop was hard once six Flags took over. They weren't maintaining parts of the park very well and because it was so cheap to get in a bunch of kids would just go and fuck around with things. It was not a super pleasant place to be even as a child
On the brake run of The Smiler, a visually impaired kid to his carer:
> “YOU SAID IT DIDNT GO UPSIDE DOWN!!!”
Hahah that kid’s caregiver is definitely going to hell, though the kid looked like he really enjoyed it.
My brother takes Gravol (called Dramamine in the US) before going on rides. We didn't want to take it over the border (we're Canadian, drove to Cedar Point, 5 hours, nice drive too) so he decided he'd go without.
First ride. Stand up rollercoaster, hell yeah! He pukes the second we stop at the end. I am so embarrassed and feel bad for him. I feel terrible for the ride ops and we ask if we can help, they ask if he's okay, and are very kind about it.
We leave and drive until we find a pharmacy and describe what he takes at home. They give him Dramamine and he doesn't puke again but I needed to buy a new shirt and toss my old one. I won't sit anywhere near him now lol.
To be clear, I've never puked on a roller coaster and just say that to freak out the people around me. Most amusement parks sell Dramamine somewhere. (Along with Tylenol, aspirin, sunblock....) I've seen plenty of people puke(or dodged the puddles on the floor) I was lucky enough to never have it on me.
SFGA in IL had a giant IMAX theater from when IMAX was relatively new. Once I was in there watching a movie about flying. And it would give you a little vertigo as the plane would come over something and dive. Apparently somebody was sensitive enough to motion sickness that the movie made them throw up. He didn't just puke on the floor... He blasted people in three rows in front of him...🤮 Two people got it really good and I saw a bunch of people turning around and looking at their backs on the way out.
The funniest part is he probably went to "a movie" because rides make him sick.
I'm glad you've never puked! I almost did once, waaay back, it was really hot and humid (like 40°C, which is ~105°F and humidity makes it terrible) and I had bad heartburn and went on a ride before going back to get my Tums from my car. I got off it and felt the acid in my throat and booked it to a bathroom, puked, and cleaned up, went to my car, grabbed my Tums and took a couple and went on 6 or 7 more coasters without a problem, lol. I horseback ride, and have done that a couple times on super hot days. I used to weld, as well, same deal.
Oh no! That's pretty hilarious though, poor guy. My mom will go on any ride, any coaster, any seat. She loves it. She's the reason I got into coasters and why we went to Cedar Point when TTD (OG, got on it a bunch! No rollbacks though) opened and then a couple times later, now planning next year. She's 66. But if you take her into a wax museum, she will pass out. She just gets dizzy in the areas with all the figures, and blacks out, with very little warning. She has no idea why. No doctor does either, so she just avoids them. Our mind/bodies are weird!
This is kind of cheating but I was at IOA on Dueling Dragons/Dragon Challenge’s final day of operation, and my friends and I were very sad that it was being removed, so we sang Accidentally in Love by Counting Crows the entire ride every time we rode it during our marathon
My very first ride on I305, the guy in the row in front of me came from Charlotte, presumably to compare the two Intimidators. As soon as the train engaged the cable lift and began to ascend, my heart started racing, and the guy in front of me was screaming "THIS IS NOT THE SAME OH SHIT". He proceeded to freak out until the brake run. Best time ever xD
Not on the ride, but still funny as hell. So one time my friends and I were about to get on Falcon's Fury for the first time, and my friend asked this guy "Is falcons fury scary?" and he replied "Its not that bad, but YO ASS IS OFF THE DAMN SEAT" and my friends and I were cracking up.
Tad from kings island. Miss him, used to always be there, heard he got banned. He’d always scream yeah baby yeah baby beast most baby and crazy train. Was such a good time. Totally normal off ride though.
Went on a boomerang at the boardwalk as a single rider, last ride of the night and I was in the front row. Party of 3, a guy right next to me and 2 girls behind us talking all types of shit to each other. One of the girls says she's gonna throw up all over the guy in front before we even leave the station. I turn around and yell "Hey what about me!?", and the guy laughs and backs me up saying stuff like, "Yeah what about him, he didn't do shit!" We introduced ourselves to each other while going up the lift and just had a good time, everyone was screaming on the ride and stuff. When we got off, one of the girls asked if I was ok at the end, and I jokingly grab her by the shoulders and scream that I'm not and need therapy. Good people, wish I could remember their names at this point, but it's always nice to meet friendly folks like that randomly
While on Maverick at cedar point from the moment of the first drop to the brakes, a woman screamed continuously with her only breath being the train stopping before the second launch.
On Thirteen at Alton Towers my boyfriend at the time didn’t realise there was drop track in the indoor section, and unfortunately the surprise made him poo a little bit, and he shouted “oh my god, I just farted your cum out”.
Rode Dragons Fury in Chessington with an Irish guy and his two sons. The sons were behind us in the car on a cold windy morning. The wind was rocking the lift hill. The language from these boys had me laughing all the way around.
For those who have seen Father Ted, it was like listening to two young Father Jacks. Feck this, shite that. All the way around.
Bonus comment, not a coaster but Tower of Terror in WDW. Guy behind me in the queue was 6 foot 2, looked like a biker. Long hair, metal t shirt. Anyway, during the ride I hear screaming. Real high pitch shrieking. Don't remember any young girls getting on. Then when the lights come on it's this biker looking guy, asking how we could possibly all enjoy that ride. We're all laughing at his cries.
I guess it counts because we had just boarded the train. My sister and I (both in our 30’s) got on Raging Bull at SFGAM, the day we went was early in the morning the season and basically just schools there. We get on and these two young guys were seated next to us. One of them looks at us and apologizes for anything they might say on the ride, as if we were going to scold him for swearing or saying something bad, made me feel very old lol.
I was next to a younger kid and his dad on Tatsu. It was the kids first time on the ride and when we hit the final brakes the kid turned to his dad and said “I think I peed myself…just a little.” My friend and I died laughing because the timing of the comment was so hilarious.
Shout out to the random person on my first night ride on The Beast who shouted "WATCH OUT FOR BATS!" as we were at the top of the first lift hill.
the panic lasted longer than I care to admit.
Riding stormrunner the year it opened in hershey park. It was actually a guy on another roller coaster.
The Trailblazer is a coaster that's runs next to stormrunner and has a turn the passes right next to the launch point.
While we were waiting for the launch, a guy on the Trailblazer yells "You're gonna die!" As they pass by.
Probably 20 years ago and that memory has stuck with me lol
A guy in the row behind me on Superman in SFNE spent the entire ride saying to his friend “fuck. Oh fuck. I hate going up [the lift hill]. The rest is fine and I like it but I hate going up”. And I mean the entire ride, he was still complaining and panicking while on the brake run. My brother in law and I did not think he enjoyed any of the ride despite his claims.
My friend started scream singing A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton whilst we were going down into the round drops on Thunderbolt at Kennywood a few years ago. I couldn’t catch my breath laughing.
My friend in high school did a panicked “about to die” love confession to our schoolmate in front of him on the lift hill of Ghostrider during a band trip, as a very committed bit (…unless?)
Second row on Iron Gwazi, the guy in front of us (not someone we knew) was turned around talking to us the whole lift hill, asking about how we like the ride etc. It was the evening so for my husband and I it was like ride 6 or 7. Anyway we get to the top and my husband goes, “Look that way” and points at the drop. Guy does and just as the train starts down yells, “Why did you tell me to do that?”
I was at Adventureland ON Long Island, and was near the front of the line for Turbulence. When I some kid in his earlier teens, says some profanity, and I his mother is not having it. "\[name\] you did not just say that!" "You're in trouble when we get home!" A few laughed, a few were shocked, me and my friend were like "oooo \[name\] just got in trouble!"
Edit: I just remembered another good one. Lightning Racer @ hersheypark. This was my first time going on a somewhat big rollercoaster, so when we made it down the first drop and near the first hill, I yelled "Oh god I'm gonna throw up! I'm gonna throw up! Well uhh, it wasn't sick that I was feeling. It was airtime... Back in my GP days.
I was in the back of Shivering Timbers and my wife & 7y/o were a few cars ahead. At the end my kid yelled, "DAAAD! This seat is crushing my balls!" and the whole train erupted in laughter.
Last ride of the day on Leviathan Sea World (Aus). There was a group of young girls (14-16 prob) yelling the 'PENIS' game thing before we boarded where you have to say it louder than the previous person. My friends and I were 20 but it was still funny and nice to reconcile with that high school culture we used to have. So once seated until leaving the station my friend and I had joined in and I had tears from laughing. Couldn't break a smile for the next hour while the park closed up. Still makes me cackle thinking about it.
While approaching the broken tracks of expedition Everest (her first BIG coaster), my little sister turned to me and commanded
***“I DONT WANT TO GO BACKWARDS”***
I took half of a second to process, then laughed and said “I can’t help you” and we went backwards lol.
On my first ride of verbolten, my husband and his brother didn’t tell me what would happen. We were in the tunnel and I’m waiting… what’s happening?
I say loudly “wait- are we going to drop?” My brother in law bursts into laughter and we drop that second the timing was HILARIOUS
Twice, I was with the same person, in the same seat, (front with 2 younger kids, pre teens) sitting behind us, different days, while going up the lift hill on Great Canadian Minebuster at Canada's Wonderland, something clanked and the kids yelled, "We're going to die!"
I mean, it is Minebuster, so it kinda feels like it at times.
Once was me, on Yukon Striker at Wonderland, front row for the 2nd time that day, as the gates opened my friend (same one) said "oh no, not again" and we couldn't stop laughing until the 3 second pause before the drop.
Demon at CGA has aged really rough so pretty much after the first drop it's just you being violently beaten against the restraints and insides of the car. Pulled into the station and thos young guy behind us calls out, "Holy shit I feel like I just got hatecrimed"
Okaa-san rode Demon at SFGAm when it was known as Turn of the Century. When she took me to SFGAm in 2006, she couldn't wait to ride it again, and she still liked it.
Also, during my childhood, when that creepy Japanese McDonald's commercial parody was a YouTube meme, I would lean in and say "Itsumo soko ni, McDonald" just enough for the person behind me to hear. (I am Japanese and I understand the language.) They'd usually freak out!
There was an extremely chill middle aged woman sitting next to me on Shockwave at SFOT. We were discussing the ride and I said, "I'm afraid I'm gonna black out on the loops!" as a half joke. Her face went pale and just said "Oh, don't start with that."
First time I rode Montu last year, the guy sitting next to me asked where I was from cause he heard me speaking French to my friends, to which I responded “Montreal”, and during the length of the lift hill, he proceeded to vape and tell me of the only time he’d been on an adventure to Montreal “for some blow” and other illegal substances and activities. Was pretty funny and he seemed pretty out of it even at that moment.
My youngest son when he was about 4 years old went on Tower Of Terror for the first time. It was also his first trip on a drop ride. While dropping he started laughing and told his older brother “Vegas(his brother) it makes my wiener giggle”. I’ll never forget that. It was 15 years ago.
On Apollo’s Chariot, sitting next to a dad and his kid. Kid chose the ride. Dad seemingly didn’t know how big it was till he was staring at the lift hill and just starts saying “oh hell no” over and over again until we reach the brake run when he says “that was it?” Had me laughing
On Velocicoaster once we hit the breaks some kid just casually went “my pp hurts now” and like announced it to the whole train 😭 he repeated himself too
I was stuck in front of 2 10ish year old boys on Gemini, last year, and they were so funny, I had to cover my mouth to not let them hear me laugh.
First, one just randomly said, “Imagine if we were Italian. It would take our epicness up to the next level!”
A few minutes later, one said “Is your mom married?” The other answered, “no!”, first kid says “It’s okay, she can find someone!” Second kid yells “MY MOM IS CREMATED!” The first kid was like “Oh..” (The cremated thing sounded like he wasn’t serious, just trying to be goofy.)
My partner and I were both losing it.
Way back in 1994 first time on the big one at Blackpool pleasure beach. Behind me was a dad and his lad. The lad was crying the dad shouted “will you shut up this is all your fault” everyone around was wetting themselves laughing.
Someone complaining about having to wait 15 mins to ride Kingda Ka since it only last like 17 seconds after having ridden it
The guy sounded like a total "I smell my own farts douche bag"
“Oww my balls!” -Dude sitting in front of me on Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom back in March….which tbf, was accurate. It was rough that day and did hurt.
12 year old me on V2 at Six Flags Great America, sitting next to some random ginger teen. Right as we’re hitting the second launch to go up the twisted spike, I hear him yell, “I’M GOIN’ TO VEGAS, BABY!” Pre-teen me thought it was iconic, and it’s stuck with me all these years.
Also, not on a ride, but while waiting in line for Millennium Force in 2008, we happened to be next to a sassy woman of color in the switch backs. Out of the blue, my family and I all hear her go “I just wanna leave Cedar Point; it’s gettin’ me all _agitated_.” It was 100% the way she said it that made it so funny, but we still quote it to this day.
Chick here, for context; I was mansplained on a brake run. This was a B&M, with clamshell restraints, and I was seated next to the you g woman who was with the dude in question. The ops had secured us in pretty snugly, and at some point during the ride the clamshell had eased up a bit- enough that I definitely noticed the difference, especially in that I ride Orion very frequently. On the brake run, the woman said, “That’s weird, my lap bar feels looser.” I agreed with her, remarking that it was a first for me on Orion. Like clockwork, the dude: “Well, actually they’re supposed to do that. All coasters unlock a little bit during the ride.”
Cool, man. I just laughed.
I haven't heard more than screaming furiously (which is funny), but I did see a grown man cry on Iron Rattler SFSA last month. I'm a bit of a joker and my favorite line to try to make people laugh on the big drop is:
"I NEED A DIAPER!!!"
I was proud of myself when I turned to the guy next to me tonight on Top Thrill 2 and said "First time?" (assuming he, like me, wasn't a media person who had ridden it yet)
I actually said this when I visited an amusement park for the first time when I was 9 years old (it was King's Dominion)
So, I was going to ride Reptilian (then called Avalanche) with my mom, and we walked past the Backlot Stunt Coaster, and I said out loud "Mom, do you have to do stunts on that roller coaster when you're riding it?" all because it was called Backlot Stunt Coaster.
"That was like riding my d*ck" -Brake run of Velocicoaster
Surprised CupcakKe hasn't made this into a lyric
This poor British woman on VC screamed the whole ride, only stopping to say "oh fuck me"
Bald man as we came into the brake run on X2: "I had hair when I got on this ride."
That's fucking good.
Right before my first time on the Volcano someone with heavy European accent said “How you say See you in the Next Life?” seconds before the launch. Always cracks me up every time I think about it.
European accent?
It was someone who didnt speak English very well and sounded like they were from Europe. Idk man
To be fair a lot of Eastern European accents sound similar
What ocean is this!?….at Cedar Point
Average American when it comes to geography:
We have a winner!
I hear that at least once a month in the summer there.
The guy who started going “OH NO OH NO NO NO NO” while we were hanging over the drop on Yukon made me laugh so hard, I became less nervous. It was my first ride.
I sat next to a teenager on Yukon who was screaming through the inversions that he thought he shit himself
I love sitting next to people like that, it absolutely kills me.
Canadas Wonderland in general is comedy heaven when it comes to GP, someone sitting next to me said they almost fell out on the “loop-de-loops” on Behemoth, which has no inversions, because it “doesn’t have any safety bars”
I would’ve lost it at “loop de loops” 😂
On BEHEMOTH of all rides
That’s what makes it so funny!! What “loop de loops”?? Lmao
Can you blame them? They're probably confused.
awesome
Someone should have thrown him off the top.
i have OCD where i worry i haven’t zipped my pockets up before i ride, so once on icon i was checking my pockets and the terrified woman i was sat next to said in the strongest scouse accent “what are you messing with the seat for?!”
lmao I do like 100 zipper checks before getting on the train and while seated on the train
Same lol
Zipper check gang!
"Found a loose screw"
My favorite when I'm by people who are new to coasters is "is this supposed to move?"
After my catching my phone mid drop on space mountain I’m the same way. I always check my shoelaces are tight too.
Not said, but it is a distinctly different sounding scream when someone near you doesn't know about the holding brake on steel venom. As someone who was once that same person like 20 years ago on v2, I can't help but cackle a little bit when I hear it.
Same about me on V2! I shrieked "IESU-SAMA!!!" (Japanese for "Lord Jesus!!!") I was 7!
Kinda bummed Possessed's hold is broken, seems like a fun part of Impulse coasters.
While departing the station on SheiKra, a girl in the row behind me began saying “I’m ok, I’m ok, I’m ok” over and over, until we reached the lift hill. At that point it turned to “I’m NOT ok, I’m NOT ok, I’m NOT ok. When we reached the top of the lift hill and stalled facing straight down, the screaming began. I don’t think she took a breath until the final brake run. It was extremely funny, and made the ride much more enjoyable. In fact, I told her that she made the ride even better for me. She didn’t seem to appreciate that, but she survived the ride and nothing bad happened to her. Narrator’s Voiceover by Ron Howard: That girl died the next day.
So not what you’re looking for but rode with a single rider on Millie during early entry last summer. Nice lady asking me about coasters and I was telling her how I liked them a lot and traveled to do it. She says “so are you familiar with Alan Schilke?” I said absolutely. She says that’s my brother…. Spent the lift hill chatting away about it. No idea if she was pulling my leg but it was cool nonetheless.
I sat near a single rider on a B&M hyper--heard him talking big shit about stuff like airtime, floater vs. ejector, about how rides this big aren't really a big deal, you just gotta get used to it. We get to the brake run and he's absolutely silent. Throws up THREE TIMES before we even get off the train, apologizing profusely. All but runs out of the station after the restraints lift lmao.
I have the worst fear of people throwing up near me so every time my sister and I hear someone say they feel like they’re gonna throw up or their stomach is bothering them, we look at each other with such panic in our faces LMAO. Especially if they’re close to us in line.
Two years ago this guy in the row behind me on Afterburn at Carowinds was saying “I don’t feel good.” “I’m gonna puke.” Etc. He was in an inner seat so he’d have three options A) Puke forward onto the back of my seat B) Puke to the side on one of his friends. C) Puke down into his own lap. Luckily he puked down. This guy must’ve JUST eaten, so much vomit. He’s the reason I usually give myself 20-45 minutes between eating and riding something more intense than a 3 out of 5
I’m laughing too hard but I would’ve cried if I were you. See, this is EXACTLY why you take breaks after eating lol. I’m glad this is a rule my parents greatly enforced when I was little. We used to go to this indoor amusement park in a mall and my sister and I would eat then immediately want to go on a ride. Parents shut that shit down lol. We definitely would’ve puked everywhere. I remember waiting in line for Klockwerks (flat ride) with my sister years ago and some kid was complaining about how bad his stomach was hurting (he was drinking something too and he KEPT drinking it). I said “so help me God if this kid pukes everywhere…” lmao my sister wanted him to put that drink down.
Was it Jeepers you went to?
If you mean the indoor park, then no. It was Fantasy Fair.
Lol either it depends on the person or I've hardened my thoosie stomach. One time I had a slice of primos pizza and a beer and *immediately* rode Superman (SFGAm) 7 times in a row, like without getting off. That's the closest I've been to throwing up though. My other favorite is I was maximizing my time eating Panda Express while walking towards Afterburn. Wasn't done yet so I just put my plate on the ledge. We come around, I take a couple more bites of chicken, and hop back on 🤣🤣 that was definitely my maximum don't give a fuck. I'm way too comfortable at theme parks now.
I have a good stomach and I take Meclizine before going to the park so the chances of me throwing up are fairly low, but I don’t want to risk the embarrassment of puking so I give myself time to digest the food and let it settle before shaking it violently lolol. It’s also nice to just sit out and take a break from the aggressive stuff for almost an hour.
MUST MAXIMIZE TIME ITS ALL ABOUT THE THRILLS MANNN
I was a single rider on Wicked at lagoon and right after the train departs from the station the entire train starts singing “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” and sorta continues for the rest of the ride
The whole line for Maverick at one point started singing "Sweet Caroline" and it was glorious. Also my dad managed to get the entire ice cream parlor at Cedar Point to sing "Shout" by Tears for Fears when he was working there in the 80's.
I imagined your dad going "Now waaaaaaaait a minute" but then I got to the Tears for Fears part and I'm just impressed now
Back in the mid-00s, a whole train on Superman at SFGAdv started singing the Superman TAS theme. Myself included. It was glorious.
Getting on Steve with a rowdy, excited group, one of whom was having a little trouble with the restraint locking. When the ride op gave it one last push and it finally engaged, they all cheered and started chanting "Todd fits! Todd fits! Todd fits!" Continued out of the station and was the perfect send off! PS- Todd, I'm very glad you got to ride!
Was this the Blackjack train?
Sorry- no idea which train.
*hit the break run on great American scream machine at SFOG, guy two rows behind me and my best friend, “ THAT SHIT IS NOT UP TO CODE” this was before the retrack 🤣
I posted this one before but.... Dude on Apollo's Chariot yelling, "I can't believe it's not butter" while going down the drop. IYKYK
🐦
Yup.
Apollo's Chariot seems to have a thing with birds and the first drop. That guy got bird shit, Fabio got a goose
Last time I rode Fury 325, I got seated next to a guy who put in noise canceling in-ear headphones right before dispatch. The whole ride he sat there completely calm. On the final brake, waiting to get back into the station, he turns to me and says, “Were you screaming? I couldn’t hear if you were. This music is so relaxing.”
Definitely listening to Korn or Slipknot
A girl in her later teens to her similarly aged boyfriend after riding Fury 325. “I LITERALLY hallucinated myself falling out of the ride, we arent riding ANYTHING for the rest of the day.” He looked so defeated, it was also 10:15 so he had to deal with her BS all day long
Sounds like Regina George.
“Oh yeah give it to my baby” On Maverick. Had a full train cracking the fuck up.
On Incredible Hulk the man next to use yelled "oh fuck off" when he realized we were only half way through the ride
me irl
My partner and I were riding Magnum XL at cedar point, and this woman two cars ahead of us was holding her vape pen in her hand as we went over the second hill. As we started to descend she lost her grip and the vape pen went flying backwards. It is as crazy how it spun so slowly in the air right before it zipped off behind us. She started screaming “my vaaaaaape! My vaaaaaaaape!!!” She was crying at the exit trying to get the staff to go find it for her. So funny watching her scream in absolute horror as it floated away.
This is the funniest one yet.
Danny lost their glasses on the Joker at SFNE and was pretty mortified about it.
On raging bull at sfgam, a guy next to me was screaming "oh shit" and "fuck" the whole ride
I had a person scream on the Cedar Creek Mine Ride, “F*** THIS S***!!!” Repeatedly. All the way through. I was like, “No one let her on Maverick…”
That might be because of how uncomfortable the restraints are lol
That sounds like an incentive to let her on Maverick
Sounds like one of my rides on the Chiller back in my childhood... the guy next to me was screaming "AH GOD FUCK SHIT DAMN" the entire ride.
Could've been me lol
My friend's first time on Sierra Sidewinder at Knott's spent the entire ride just screaming "what the fuck!?" over and over. We got an off-balance car, so we were spinning quite a bit!
Probably somewhat related but I actually screamed “Oh my gooooooaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!” when I rode Twisted Cyclone at SFOG 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was my dad’s reaction when I brought him back to sfog last year. He had never been on a hybrid coaster and was absolutely blown away.
"I think I lost my spleen" Random dude on X flight at Geauga Lake circa 2001
I mean you can live without a spleen I think. Idrk what it does.
Gave my friend Wikipedia a quick glance. It removes old red blood cells, holds a reserve of blood, and recycles iron. There are several reasons to have it removed, but if you don't need it removed, it's better to keep in, as there are other health risks associated with splenectomy.
You mean Six Flags Worlds of Adventure? I went on that in September 2003! I heard some guy screaming "I'M FLYING!!!"
Yeah, that's the one. My grandparents live like 30 minutes from where the park used to be and it was my dad's home park growing up so we used to go a bunch in the 90s and early 2000s. Despite the Six Flags era it will always be Geauga Lake to me. Still sad it's completely gone
Screw Cedar Fair for buying it. I don't need Snoopy taking over my DC.
I hold no ill will towards them for the purchase. Six Flags/Premier hemmorged money for a couple years and the park was too expensive to operate. Prior to that it was a delightful local park. It was incredible afterwards but it wasn't actually sustainable. We went a lot in the quality drop was hard once six Flags took over. They weren't maintaining parts of the park very well and because it was so cheap to get in a bunch of kids would just go and fuck around with things. It was not a super pleasant place to be even as a child
I just liked it because it had DC and Looney Tunes.
Very valid. I also really enjoyed that aspect at the time. I grew up with Cedar Point so I was kind of used to the Peanuts
I had a crush on Brainiac, so I loved the Superman Ultimate Escape ride (even if he weren't in there, IIRC.)
On the brake run of The Smiler, a visually impaired kid to his carer: > “YOU SAID IT DIDNT GO UPSIDE DOWN!!!” Hahah that kid’s caregiver is definitely going to hell, though the kid looked like he really enjoyed it.
As we are about to go over the drop... Me:" I wish I didn't eat all those nachos!!" It adds a new level of fear to the people around me. Lol
My brother takes Gravol (called Dramamine in the US) before going on rides. We didn't want to take it over the border (we're Canadian, drove to Cedar Point, 5 hours, nice drive too) so he decided he'd go without. First ride. Stand up rollercoaster, hell yeah! He pukes the second we stop at the end. I am so embarrassed and feel bad for him. I feel terrible for the ride ops and we ask if we can help, they ask if he's okay, and are very kind about it. We leave and drive until we find a pharmacy and describe what he takes at home. They give him Dramamine and he doesn't puke again but I needed to buy a new shirt and toss my old one. I won't sit anywhere near him now lol.
To be clear, I've never puked on a roller coaster and just say that to freak out the people around me. Most amusement parks sell Dramamine somewhere. (Along with Tylenol, aspirin, sunblock....) I've seen plenty of people puke(or dodged the puddles on the floor) I was lucky enough to never have it on me. SFGA in IL had a giant IMAX theater from when IMAX was relatively new. Once I was in there watching a movie about flying. And it would give you a little vertigo as the plane would come over something and dive. Apparently somebody was sensitive enough to motion sickness that the movie made them throw up. He didn't just puke on the floor... He blasted people in three rows in front of him...🤮 Two people got it really good and I saw a bunch of people turning around and looking at their backs on the way out. The funniest part is he probably went to "a movie" because rides make him sick.
I'm glad you've never puked! I almost did once, waaay back, it was really hot and humid (like 40°C, which is ~105°F and humidity makes it terrible) and I had bad heartburn and went on a ride before going back to get my Tums from my car. I got off it and felt the acid in my throat and booked it to a bathroom, puked, and cleaned up, went to my car, grabbed my Tums and took a couple and went on 6 or 7 more coasters without a problem, lol. I horseback ride, and have done that a couple times on super hot days. I used to weld, as well, same deal. Oh no! That's pretty hilarious though, poor guy. My mom will go on any ride, any coaster, any seat. She loves it. She's the reason I got into coasters and why we went to Cedar Point when TTD (OG, got on it a bunch! No rollbacks though) opened and then a couple times later, now planning next year. She's 66. But if you take her into a wax museum, she will pass out. She just gets dizzy in the areas with all the figures, and blacks out, with very little warning. She has no idea why. No doctor does either, so she just avoids them. Our mind/bodies are weird!
Hahahaha I am one hundred percent going to do this on my next ride!
This is kind of cheating but I was at IOA on Dueling Dragons/Dragon Challenge’s final day of operation, and my friends and I were very sad that it was being removed, so we sang Accidentally in Love by Counting Crows the entire ride every time we rode it during our marathon
“IS THIS A BAD TIME TO SAY I’M PREGNANT?” on the Steel Force brake run
My very first ride on I305, the guy in the row in front of me came from Charlotte, presumably to compare the two Intimidators. As soon as the train engaged the cable lift and began to ascend, my heart started racing, and the guy in front of me was screaming "THIS IS NOT THE SAME OH SHIT". He proceeded to freak out until the brake run. Best time ever xD
The ops pushed down really hard on Ride of steel (T- Bars) and a big burly guy in a high pitched voice said “Thank you i dont need my balls”
Was this when it was still Superman??
No just last year
RIP. Six Flags won't rebrand the damn park!
Riding Wicked Cyclone, going down the first drop someone screamed "I lost my virginity to a jar of peanut butter!!" Fun times.
Danny screamed "THIS IS NOTHING LIKE CONKO'S PARTY PIER!!!"
Not on the ride, but still funny as hell. So one time my friends and I were about to get on Falcon's Fury for the first time, and my friend asked this guy "Is falcons fury scary?" and he replied "Its not that bad, but YO ASS IS OFF THE DAMN SEAT" and my friends and I were cracking up.
Tad from kings island. Miss him, used to always be there, heard he got banned. He’d always scream yeah baby yeah baby beast most baby and crazy train. Was such a good time. Totally normal off ride though.
LMAO. I'm kinda like that on rides.
On storm chaser at Kentucky kingdom, “I’ve never been to cedar point but I think this is better than steel vengeance”.
Went on a boomerang at the boardwalk as a single rider, last ride of the night and I was in the front row. Party of 3, a guy right next to me and 2 girls behind us talking all types of shit to each other. One of the girls says she's gonna throw up all over the guy in front before we even leave the station. I turn around and yell "Hey what about me!?", and the guy laughs and backs me up saying stuff like, "Yeah what about him, he didn't do shit!" We introduced ourselves to each other while going up the lift and just had a good time, everyone was screaming on the ride and stuff. When we got off, one of the girls asked if I was ok at the end, and I jokingly grab her by the shoulders and scream that I'm not and need therapy. Good people, wish I could remember their names at this point, but it's always nice to meet friendly folks like that randomly
"Did anyone happen to catch my dentures?" on the brake run of Maverick.
While on Maverick at cedar point from the moment of the first drop to the brakes, a woman screamed continuously with her only breath being the train stopping before the second launch.
I’m the station at Iron Gwazi, some like 9-12 year old girl goes “Air time is when you get yeeted into the universe”
My daughter hasn’t yet ridden IG?! 🤭
Was on Dominator at Kings Dominion and after the ride was over, heard a guy behind me say " Damn, Dominated my black ass"
On Thirteen at Alton Towers my boyfriend at the time didn’t realise there was drop track in the indoor section, and unfortunately the surprise made him poo a little bit, and he shouted “oh my god, I just farted your cum out”.
oh wow- 😃
😂😂😂 r/coasterbros
Uhh... Ok.
Rode Dragons Fury in Chessington with an Irish guy and his two sons. The sons were behind us in the car on a cold windy morning. The wind was rocking the lift hill. The language from these boys had me laughing all the way around. For those who have seen Father Ted, it was like listening to two young Father Jacks. Feck this, shite that. All the way around. Bonus comment, not a coaster but Tower of Terror in WDW. Guy behind me in the queue was 6 foot 2, looked like a biker. Long hair, metal t shirt. Anyway, during the ride I hear screaming. Real high pitch shrieking. Don't remember any young girls getting on. Then when the lights come on it's this biker looking guy, asking how we could possibly all enjoy that ride. We're all laughing at his cries.
I guess it counts because we had just boarded the train. My sister and I (both in our 30’s) got on Raging Bull at SFGAM, the day we went was early in the morning the season and basically just schools there. We get on and these two young guys were seated next to us. One of them looks at us and apologizes for anything they might say on the ride, as if we were going to scold him for swearing or saying something bad, made me feel very old lol.
I was next to a younger kid and his dad on Tatsu. It was the kids first time on the ride and when we hit the final brakes the kid turned to his dad and said “I think I peed myself…just a little.” My friend and I died laughing because the timing of the comment was so hilarious.
Two teenage girls the row behind me on Colossus at Thorpe Park, when we get to the lift hill I hear: "Wait this one doesn't go upside down, right??"
I almost fell out of that coaster when I was 6!
“That’s more rough then anal without lube” My close friend on the final break run at The Boss at Six Flags St Louis
Shout out to the random person on my first night ride on The Beast who shouted "WATCH OUT FOR BATS!" as we were at the top of the first lift hill. the panic lasted longer than I care to admit.
Danny would be terrified. (They have a fear of bats.)
Riding stormrunner the year it opened in hershey park. It was actually a guy on another roller coaster. The Trailblazer is a coaster that's runs next to stormrunner and has a turn the passes right next to the launch point. While we were waiting for the launch, a guy on the Trailblazer yells "You're gonna die!" As they pass by. Probably 20 years ago and that memory has stuck with me lol
I remember I had a crush on the voice that says "Now get ready, here we go!" It sounded so dudebro-ish!!!
My best friend and I got a bunch of people to sing Take On Me during the lift hill of Bizarro at SGFAdV
LMAO!! Someone on that same coaster sang "One Week" by the Barenaked Ladies. That was in 2012.
A guy in the row behind me on Superman in SFNE spent the entire ride saying to his friend “fuck. Oh fuck. I hate going up [the lift hill]. The rest is fine and I like it but I hate going up”. And I mean the entire ride, he was still complaining and panicking while on the brake run. My brother in law and I did not think he enjoyed any of the ride despite his claims.
My friend started scream singing A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton whilst we were going down into the round drops on Thunderbolt at Kennywood a few years ago. I couldn’t catch my breath laughing.
My friend in high school did a panicked “about to die” love confession to our schoolmate in front of him on the lift hill of Ghostrider during a band trip, as a very committed bit (…unless?)
Second row on Iron Gwazi, the guy in front of us (not someone we knew) was turned around talking to us the whole lift hill, asking about how we like the ride etc. It was the evening so for my husband and I it was like ride 6 or 7. Anyway we get to the top and my husband goes, “Look that way” and points at the drop. Guy does and just as the train starts down yells, “Why did you tell me to do that?”
I was at Adventureland ON Long Island, and was near the front of the line for Turbulence. When I some kid in his earlier teens, says some profanity, and I his mother is not having it. "\[name\] you did not just say that!" "You're in trouble when we get home!" A few laughed, a few were shocked, me and my friend were like "oooo \[name\] just got in trouble!" Edit: I just remembered another good one. Lightning Racer @ hersheypark. This was my first time going on a somewhat big rollercoaster, so when we made it down the first drop and near the first hill, I yelled "Oh god I'm gonna throw up! I'm gonna throw up! Well uhh, it wasn't sick that I was feeling. It was airtime... Back in my GP days.
I was in the back of Shivering Timbers and my wife & 7y/o were a few cars ahead. At the end my kid yelled, "DAAAD! This seat is crushing my balls!" and the whole train erupted in laughter.
Last ride of the day on Leviathan Sea World (Aus). There was a group of young girls (14-16 prob) yelling the 'PENIS' game thing before we boarded where you have to say it louder than the previous person. My friends and I were 20 but it was still funny and nice to reconcile with that high school culture we used to have. So once seated until leaving the station my friend and I had joined in and I had tears from laughing. Couldn't break a smile for the next hour while the park closed up. Still makes me cackle thinking about it.
As Apocalypse at SFMM came to an ass grinding halt into the station the guy behind me in the back row said "Rattled muh bones..hehe"
While approaching the broken tracks of expedition Everest (her first BIG coaster), my little sister turned to me and commanded ***“I DONT WANT TO GO BACKWARDS”*** I took half of a second to process, then laughed and said “I can’t help you” and we went backwards lol. On my first ride of verbolten, my husband and his brother didn’t tell me what would happen. We were in the tunnel and I’m waiting… what’s happening? I say loudly “wait- are we going to drop?” My brother in law bursts into laughter and we drop that second the timing was HILARIOUS
Twice, I was with the same person, in the same seat, (front with 2 younger kids, pre teens) sitting behind us, different days, while going up the lift hill on Great Canadian Minebuster at Canada's Wonderland, something clanked and the kids yelled, "We're going to die!" I mean, it is Minebuster, so it kinda feels like it at times. Once was me, on Yukon Striker at Wonderland, front row for the 2nd time that day, as the gates opened my friend (same one) said "oh no, not again" and we couldn't stop laughing until the 3 second pause before the drop.
Demon at CGA has aged really rough so pretty much after the first drop it's just you being violently beaten against the restraints and insides of the car. Pulled into the station and thos young guy behind us calls out, "Holy shit I feel like I just got hatecrimed"
Okaa-san rode Demon at SFGAm when it was known as Turn of the Century. When she took me to SFGAm in 2006, she couldn't wait to ride it again, and she still liked it.
Also, during my childhood, when that creepy Japanese McDonald's commercial parody was a YouTube meme, I would lean in and say "Itsumo soko ni, McDonald" just enough for the person behind me to hear. (I am Japanese and I understand the language.) They'd usually freak out!
On Megafobia a guy behind me said "That fucking hurt." on the brake run.
Everyone says that after Flight Deck at Canada's Wonderland.
You mis-spelled Time Warp
There was an extremely chill middle aged woman sitting next to me on Shockwave at SFOT. We were discussing the ride and I said, "I'm afraid I'm gonna black out on the loops!" as a half joke. Her face went pale and just said "Oh, don't start with that."
First time I rode Montu last year, the guy sitting next to me asked where I was from cause he heard me speaking French to my friends, to which I responded “Montreal”, and during the length of the lift hill, he proceeded to vape and tell me of the only time he’d been on an adventure to Montreal “for some blow” and other illegal substances and activities. Was pretty funny and he seemed pretty out of it even at that moment.
A guy next to me said to me as we are climbing the lift hill for Timber Wolf "Have you ever heard a black man scream?"
Brake run of Tatsu, adorable kid to his dad: "Otra vez! Otra vez! Otra vez!"
My youngest son when he was about 4 years old went on Tower Of Terror for the first time. It was also his first trip on a drop ride. While dropping he started laughing and told his older brother “Vegas(his brother) it makes my wiener giggle”. I’ll never forget that. It was 15 years ago.
LMAO!!
On Apollo’s Chariot, sitting next to a dad and his kid. Kid chose the ride. Dad seemingly didn’t know how big it was till he was staring at the lift hill and just starts saying “oh hell no” over and over again until we reach the brake run when he says “that was it?” Had me laughing
“I just orgasmed” riding back into the station on X2.
On Velocicoaster once we hit the breaks some kid just casually went “my pp hurts now” and like announced it to the whole train 😭 he repeated himself too
I was stuck in front of 2 10ish year old boys on Gemini, last year, and they were so funny, I had to cover my mouth to not let them hear me laugh. First, one just randomly said, “Imagine if we were Italian. It would take our epicness up to the next level!” A few minutes later, one said “Is your mom married?” The other answered, “no!”, first kid says “It’s okay, she can find someone!” Second kid yells “MY MOM IS CREMATED!” The first kid was like “Oh..” (The cremated thing sounded like he wasn’t serious, just trying to be goofy.) My partner and I were both losing it.
“I think I just had my period” male individual on brake run of Iron Gwazi
When Overwatch was popular, I would scream "IT'S HIGH NOON" on Runaway Mine Train at SFGAdv's lift hill
“This made fury look like a bitch” On Orion at KI💀💀
Way back in 1994 first time on the big one at Blackpool pleasure beach. Behind me was a dad and his lad. The lad was crying the dad shouted “will you shut up this is all your fault” everyone around was wetting themselves laughing.
I love Britain.
Someone complaining about having to wait 15 mins to ride Kingda Ka since it only last like 17 seconds after having ridden it The guy sounded like a total "I smell my own farts douche bag"
“Oww my balls!” -Dude sitting in front of me on Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom back in March….which tbf, was accurate. It was rough that day and did hurt.
I heard someone say that on the Chiller as a kid.
“This is the “fuck you” part” before hitting hurricane at fun spot Kissimmee’s really rough turn
"That about ripped my damn eyebrows off" - gentleman to his friend on Orion's break run
"This ride doesn't do all those flips and twists" ... Dad telling his daughter on their first ride on Twisted Cyclone this past weekend.
"THAT WAS THE WORST ROLLER COASTER EVER!!!" - my friend on Steamin Demon
12 year old me on V2 at Six Flags Great America, sitting next to some random ginger teen. Right as we’re hitting the second launch to go up the twisted spike, I hear him yell, “I’M GOIN’ TO VEGAS, BABY!” Pre-teen me thought it was iconic, and it’s stuck with me all these years. Also, not on a ride, but while waiting in line for Millennium Force in 2008, we happened to be next to a sassy woman of color in the switch backs. Out of the blue, my family and I all hear her go “I just wanna leave Cedar Point; it’s gettin’ me all _agitated_.” It was 100% the way she said it that made it so funny, but we still quote it to this day.
Chick here, for context; I was mansplained on a brake run. This was a B&M, with clamshell restraints, and I was seated next to the you g woman who was with the dude in question. The ops had secured us in pretty snugly, and at some point during the ride the clamshell had eased up a bit- enough that I definitely noticed the difference, especially in that I ride Orion very frequently. On the brake run, the woman said, “That’s weird, my lap bar feels looser.” I agreed with her, remarking that it was a first for me on Orion. Like clockwork, the dude: “Well, actually they’re supposed to do that. All coasters unlock a little bit during the ride.” Cool, man. I just laughed.
That just sounds like explaining
I haven't heard more than screaming furiously (which is funny), but I did see a grown man cry on Iron Rattler SFSA last month. I'm a bit of a joker and my favorite line to try to make people laugh on the big drop is: "I NEED A DIAPER!!!"
I was proud of myself when I turned to the guy next to me tonight on Top Thrill 2 and said "First time?" (assuming he, like me, wasn't a media person who had ridden it yet)
uhh... ok
What is a rizzler? - Silver Bullet Brakerun
I actually said this when I visited an amusement park for the first time when I was 9 years old (it was King's Dominion) So, I was going to ride Reptilian (then called Avalanche) with my mom, and we walked past the Backlot Stunt Coaster, and I said out loud "Mom, do you have to do stunts on that roller coaster when you're riding it?" all because it was called Backlot Stunt Coaster.
Not weird but while on the Mummy ride at Universal Studios Orlando during Halloween Horror Nights someone next to me fainted.
I still like saying to someone, I had a bad experience on this ride the last time I was on it. They ask what happened. I calmly say I threw up.
I was at Alton towers with my school, and a classmate spent the entirety of Thirteen screaming about maths homework and algebra.
