about a month ago, while in line for Italian job at kd, a kid noticed my Intimidator shirt and said "man, that ride was only good the first week it opened when it went 120mph, it now sucks because they added trims and it only goes 70mph". brilliant, and this kid wasn't even a gp because he wouldn't shut up about the LIM's on Italian job...

On TPR's video of 10 Inversion Coaster in Chimelong Paradise:

Me wrote:This comment reeks of stupidity. You really think Thorpe Park designed the layout for Colossus? The manufacturer, Intamin, previously designed an 8 inversion coaster named Monte Makaya for a park in Brazil. Thorpe Park came to Intamin asking for a record breaking coaster so Intamin took the Monte Makaya layout and added an extra two inline twists.
So if anything, Colossus is a copy of Monte Makaya.

Random Person wrote:this comment reeks of gay, and i know my rollercoasters pretty well so just back off and it cant really be much of a copy if there are changes in the ride dumbass

Well guys, apparently this is what a well educated coaster enthusiast sounds like. "u gay dumbass".

This is not something a GP said, this is something a GP did:

So, I was at LLC today and had a park meet up with SoCalCoasters. When we were in the queue line for Coastersaurus and this one little kid was standing on the fence, just feet from the rails of Coastersaurus and it looked very dangerous. The parents really didn't care that their kid did that and didn't make a big deal about it. I mean this is just odd to see parents not knowing or caring that their child is dangerous. If the kid was injured by the coaster, the parents would blame the park and before you know it, there will be a covered queue and lots of bad publicity.

^It's pretty typical these days for parents to not watch or care what their kids are doing. I've seen kids at stores yanking/smacking windchimes while their parent is off to the side while on their phone. They looked very indifferent as to what their kid was doing.

Anyone see the video of the girl who jumped out of the chairlift at the Casino Pier Amusement Park? She apparently got wary of an approaching thunderstorm when the power got knocked out, and decided it would be better to perform a self evacuation and risk a broken leg by hopping out of the gondola and onto the beach rather than risking getting struck by lightning.

I saw the same thing happening at SFNE one time; little kid was doing precisely that in the Cyclone queue and was balanced rather precariously. I politely told him that it was a bad idea to do that and that he could get seriously hurt, and next thing you know, his mother comes over and starts yelling at me to stay away from her kid, yelling something about racism as well. The kid and his mom were, after all, black; while I am probably the least judgmental person you can find when it comes to race, the kid's mom looked and acted like one of the most offensively stereotypical ghetto mamas ever, to the point where I really felt bad for him. He even seemed embarrassed by her outburst. Thankfully, another guest (who also happened to be black) backed me up and basically told her to shut up and leave it, and she backed down. The rest of the day went without incident, though. Still, people REALLY need to actually parent their goddamn kids instead of just letting them run loose and throwing hissy fits when something goes wrong.

Reminds me about the boy who fell (or jumped, depends on who you asked) from the Drop Tower at CGA. From what I heard, he was mentally handicapped, and was scared to he jumped, but the Drop Tower boy wasn't aware of what he was doing, (and he restraint wasn't locked all the way either,)

I really can't stand all the comments on every video of every Intamin Multilooper and how they're "such a copy of Colossus omg".
