7th, that is exactly

what me and my friend andrew do every time at dorney park. sometimes we act like

we shot ourselves, sometimes we chuck the index finger, and sometimes we just stare

at the camera like " i see dead ppl" people here though don't like that

stuff as much as other people would somewhere else.

[b]LOL, why don't

people just say the whole bloody peninsula is sinking?!?!

The

'Magnum Is Sinking' hoax was created on a radio show in the

1980's/1990's and has become a mainstay in theme park

hoaxes.

The Magnum hoax was not in the 80s since the ride

wasn't built until 1989. On Arpil Fools Day, the Sandusky Register or some

other Sandusky newspaper posted an April Fools article about how thw Magnum was

sinking into the sand. People believed it and it spread over the internet. But Top Thrill

Dragster is actually sinking!

[Top Thrill Dragster Freak]

The funniest thing I ever heard was a

short talk with a cople of kids from a Christan church in Kentuky.

Kid:

Hey did you know that that coaster over there (talking about Vortex) is

sinking!
Me: No it isn't.
Kid: Yes it is! It is realy

sinking!
Me: No it isn't. This is just like to rumor that Magnum is

sinking.
Kid: No I mean it. Vortex is realy sinking!

We then

departed to ride The Beast.

That is the best and only time I have realy

heard any thing that is funy.

Ah, hahahahahaaaaa!!!!

I just wen to CP yestarday and some friends I was with were

mock-screaming on the skyride! Oh and a little later...

the millennium force is

boring

the

dragster is

boring

raptor

is better

Haha, intresting how he

said that MF was boring...

Oh, and when I was in the line for MF yestarday,

I was tired and teh ride operations seemed to have took forever and I put my head

down. Then the person next to me said:

mommy, he's

scared

Then the trains went off and I

started raising my arms in the air.

Oh, and

when I was in the TTD line, you know how they have to wait for everybody to put

their "arms down"? Well... It took like 6 messages before they actually did

that, then, as soon as the traffic lights flashed, the arms wen't right back up.

[Pleasureland Fan]

LOL- MF, boring?!?!? Its A Mad

World.....

Anyway, why do the ops have to wait for all arms to be down

before launch? Seems pointless to me, they just go right back up again on all the pics

and vids I have seen.

[Dakanektr]

if you put your

arms up for the initial launch your arms wouldnt be prepared for the extreme amount

of force that starts when you launch.

[Stealthy350Z]

^You can put your arms up for the launch and get no

problems at all. They just don't want you to put your arms up for some reason.

After you initially roll-back a few inches theirs no stopping the launch and you can put

your arms up with them doing nothing. Technically your not supposed to put your arms

up on ANY roller coaster.

[Metalhead]

One time i was in a waterslide line for one that went

went around 45 degrees and a man was asurring his wife it went straight down!

[coastercrazy10]

i tried to quiz my freinds on the elements of

rollercoasters and every other answer was a form of "flippy thingie". The

only thing they got right the first time was the vertical loop...but they called it a loop de

loop...which i that terminology...They eventually learned the cobra roll but forgot it

later.

I dont listen in queue lines because i think about how awesome the

rollercoaster im about to ride will be, past experiences on the ride (if any), and

basically pysche myself up.

crazy

[Adam_Deux]

I found it more fun to tap repeatedly on the

'dashboard' and annoy my friends, then throw my hands into the air just

before launch. Your arms don't break from whiplash unless you are really

weak, no offense to anyone. My arms just pressed against the sides of the headrest

and I had bruises days later.

[killer kitty]

i weent to knotts

yesterday for a few hours,and in line for boomerang a woman asked the

ride-op....."does this ride go upsidedown???"....kind of a no-brainer

there!!!!!

[Adam_Deux]

You should've told her 'Naah, don't

worry! It's like a walk in the park. . .' then ran away as fast as you

could.

While in line for Boomerang:Coast to Coaster at GE:
Dad:"You know, they have one of these at some other park except your feet

hang and you go straight up!"
Little Kid:*acting like he knew

it*"umm yea and theres one thats a thousand feet high!'
Dad:*laughs*"Yeah, don't you wish."

[killer kitty]

seems to me that alot of

stupid people like rides called boomerang .

[coasteragent99]

Lol, I just thought of an "arm holder", a

little thing on your seat that if you raise your arms, and it launches, your arm would go

back oin the hlder and you wouldn't get whiplash.

Technically your not supposed to put your

arms up on ANY roller coaster.

Yeah, they say that on ever ride, and it makes me caution. But I did raise em'

on MF on the hills, but I never do it on first drops.

And we were

doing some sharing hting in school and one kid said about going to CP this summer,

and then he said that he knew alot about rollercoasters. I need to verify that, but I

doubt it's true.

[coastercrazy10]

i ALWAYS have my hands up....from the point we

get to the top of the lift...'til we hit the final breaks. I kept my hands up on

colossus at SFMM on the hill too...then screamed like an idiot the whole way through.

There were other people screaming too....so we fought....it was funny...
