I was wonder how other peoples reactions on coasters were. When I went on May 4th I rode next to my friend and 2 other people on batman. Usually My friends and I give the ocassional YEAH!! or Awesome!!! but the people next to us didn't even flash alittle smile throughout the whole ride. Who knows maybe they were mad at each other? I mean come on.... those flatspins allways make me smile. :D

Whenever I'm riding a coaster I usually have my hands up and a huge smile on my face. I only scream when I'm with friends cause it's just kinda weird to scream when I'm alone.

Most, just sit and smile. Viper, yell out in ecstacy. Vertical Velocity, I litterally LMAO. Last time I rode it the person I was next to said she couldn't hear anything but me laughing. Deja Vu, I yell. American Eagle, I've had it described to me that I sound like I'm having an orgasm. Othewise, just sit back and smile.

I usually just yell "wooo" or something like that, it depends. Its seems the longer I wait for a ride the more it deserves a "woooo!". If I just walk on a ride and ride it over and over again, im usually pretty quiet lol.

Well you have to place your "woos" and "yeahs" at the right times. First drops, air time, inversions, and elements that are basicly worth it. I love screaming and yelling, but your right, when someone you don't know sits next to you, you sort of sit quiet. Oh well, I hardly ever sit with someone I don't know, so it's not a problem.

I'm so anxious to ride a coaster, espically SUF, RB, BTR & Viper. That sometimes I even jump on my chair & go completey NUTS in the meantime.BTW, I even have a SFGAm Photo/Scrap Album loaded with SFGAm stuff from 1999 to 2002, I plan to include 2004 & 2005 too. Got 2000-2002 park maps, and lost the 1999 map. :( Oh well, it helps me alot. 8)

A fun thing to do is scream on the not-so-exciting parts, like the lift hill and the very end or whatever, and then just sit there during the fast parts. Like for example: You're riding Raging Bull. The train starts up the lift hill. A little ways up, you stick your hands in the air and start screaming like it's really fun. Just go crazy and make sure everyone can hear you. Then when you finally get over the top, and it's when you're supposed to do that, just sit there like it's boring. Then at the end of the ride when it's slow again and nothing's happening start screaming again. It works best if you're sitting right next to someone you don't know at all. See what they think of you.....(any idea what I mean?...)

When its really quiet in the station (usually in Eagle's station you can hear a pin drop for some odd reason). Me and my brother usually yell something out, then say "owww" in a sad way when everyone looks at us and doesn't start yelling too lol. There have been times though when we have gotten the whole station pumped up though. Spacleys Sprocket Rockets is always a fun ride to yell as loud as you can on, and sometimes you can even hear the people in the "station" laughing.

U know if U want to get the ops to race the eagle trains, raise both your hands in the air, as high as they can go. Then move both arms(in the air) back & fourth (slow to medium speed) in front of U and behind U. It sometimes works, sometimes it does'nt. If it works then the ops will try to get the trains to race.I tried it once and it did'nt work, guess the ops did'nt see me. GET THEIR ATTENTION! :D

lol, that won't work...last year they were only racing when both trains were in the station at the same time. This year though, they seem to be making the extra effort to race. I didn't see them send the trains once not racing (when both trains were running that is)

I laugh until it hurts on V2, Viper, BTR, Deja Vu, and Eagle. I think Raging Bull is boring, so I just sit there if I`m with friends, or I just don`t ride it. Demon is kinda painful so I try to laugh. It doesn`t work. Whizzer is fun, but not laugh exciting, and SUF is boring too.

I've noticed that too. i think that they are pansies. When im on rides i let out a really high pitched scream and i act really terrified to see if i can get a reaction out of the people around me. coasterguy knows what im talking about.
My Top 5: 1)TTD, 2)Millennium Force, 3)Raptor, 4)Deja Vu, 5)Raging Bull
