When the ride op told her that the baby couldn't ride she became irate saying things like I paid all this money to get in and my baby can't ride this. Me and my wife laughed and laughed at this crazy woman


:shock: Unbelievable

Something tells me that woman will sometime be screaming at an officer from Child Protective Services as they take her child away, or it has already happened.

In the water park, a kid in a tube, bumped in to me, I said excuse me. He got out of his tube, and pushed me, and he kept trying to fight me as I was getting out of the pool. People are a bit crazy.

While at the park on Saturday I saw a woman screaming at her two children (who couldn't have been older than 3) if they wanted pepsi while standing in front of a coca-cola freestyle. When I say screaming, I mean I could hear her halfway across Harmony Hall.

Last week, I was in line for Cobra with 3 friends, and there was this couple in front of us seemingly on a date. They were about 12 maybe 13 (and my friends and I work at a summer camp so we are good at guessing kids' ages) and the girls sister was chaperoning. During the short time we were in line, they got in a fight, broke up, and then didn't sit next to each ther on the ride. It was a shame, we were all rooting for that relationship.

This is the best thing I have ever read.

Two weeks ago, at the ACE event, two kids were throwing a basket ball at the Brake Run of Fury. They kept doing it. By the time I saw them and got up to stop them, one of the balls got lodged in between the track and the wire mesh/netting. Mrs. Eunice was after them. They ran off into the Hive Gift shop. She stood there and waited for them to come out. Then their mother came and she spoke to her. They soon came out and it wasn't very pretty :lol: .

I never found out if they got the ball out or not... If that fell and hit someone, it would probably hurt (20 feet up in the air).

One time I was in line for Runaway Reptar and there was this kid who was running with scissors. Another time I saw this girl at Intimidator drinking milk straight from the carton. People be running wilder than Hulkamania these days.

One of the first days of this season i was buying a drink, I don't remember what the place is called but its near Fury. The guy in front of me was getting agitated. He was probably in his 40's. He got tired of waiting and told the employee the "food was on them" and just ran away. They called security and i had to be questioned Not too amazing or even weird buts its the only thing ive seen that's "Crazy" so im pretty lucky. I hear lots of people say dumb things of course. Everything from Fury 325 is over 500 ft tall to B&M is new and this is their first ride etc. OH EDIT: I know something. I rember waiting in Line for Top Gun and this Young girl in the front had this massive Nose Bleed that had just started as the train pulled into the station. She had blood all over herself so a few people screamed thinking she had been massively injured on ride. :lol:

Yesterday, while in the smoking area by Night Hawk, we noticed two men around 40 years old standing on the curbing looking over the fence that is under the corkscrew section. I watched and listened and one of them lost a flip flop and the other ones cell phone came out. Well, they found both of them, as I did also, and they looked around and contemplated jumping the fence to get their items back. I waited for a second but had to say something. I referenced the Cedar Pointe incident and they said thank you. Well, I thought all was good but then I noticed them timing the ride to see how much time they had before the next train came by. It was at that point I walked over to the booth by the exit of Night Hawk and asked the girl to please call security and have them come by and I explained to her what was going on. Before I got back to the smoking area a security guard came by and stopped the men to talk to them. She told them it would take 30 minutes to stop the ride, then retrieve the items and another 30 minutes to cycle the ride before anyone could get on it and that was NOT going to happen. But, if they wanted to come back tomorrow their items would be at the Lost and Found. They stormed off!

Now, I went back around 9:45pm and the items were still there so at least they did not jump the fence. See, Darwin is all around us.
