The ride with the most obnoxious people?

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

Mine would have to be Viper. Many times have there been bratty kids screaming in line and throwing things around. Ugh, what a drag

I would have to say Spacely's Sprocket Rockets. It seems like there are always so many little kids there with their parents, and the parents can seem really pushy to get their kids on the ride. Whenever I get up to the station there always are people cutting in front of me just to get on with their kids who usually aren't too eager to ride it.

Maybe that's a sign that I should stop riding kiddie coasters :lol:.

I would have to say Whizzer. Me and my friend were in line and our plan was to sit in the very back, but on separate trains....because we didn't want to sit with each other. There were these two kids in the gate, second last, and it was there turn. So the gates opened and the two kids, one sat in the second last seat, and the other sat in MY seat and it was MY turn. I was like "Hey, your in the wrong row".

-Kid one, "dude who cares".

-me, "hey you have to wait or go on separate trains". I was trying to talk to the Op but he wasn't doing anything.

-kid, "duh, look at this f*got" then they were both laughing.

Then the train dispatches. So I let my friend go on the next train. Then the two kids came back and it was my turn to ride. The gates opened and the kids weren't moving.

-me, "you have to move no re-rides"

-kid, "duh who care f*got"

-me, I bent over and was just about to grab his shirt and I was like, "you better get the f*** out of this seat before I get the Op so he can kick you out of the park. Then him and his friend quick ran away and then people behind me clapped.

Those kids were like 12 or 13. I guess, me being 6'5", 250lbs. kind of scared them :lol:

I know it seems kind of harsh and mean but I was really angry that day and I didn't want to deal with some dumb kids.

But it seems like every time there is one parent who forces you to give up your turn so they can sit on the same train or whatever :roll:

Every damn time I go to Whizzer that happens where a mom wants to line jump so they can ride on the same train as their kid. I hate that.

And that's why you tell the ops, they don't have magical eyes folks, they aren't always aware there's a problem.

^But its that fine line of being nice and being an @ss. Sure, you can tell the ops but it will make you look bad. But in my case, I did tell the op and he didn’t do anything.

The Line-jumping ejection rule really has to be more strongly inforced.

Viper, I always stand by kids that are... well asses. I have gotten shoved in that line so many times. 2 girls were hitting on me one time in that line, enough to make me want to leave the line. I also always meet people that think they know what their talking about (stuff like "when this ride opened it was the tallest coaster in the world", and "This ride used to be called the title wave, and it was blue" <no joke about that one either).

Try telling a lead, the ones with the red name tags, they'll handle it better then the grunts.

Yeah, they should stop ejecting people for smoking, and start kicking people out for line jumping.

Because I always love when a whole family, usually non english speaking families, go into the second switch back on Demon and line jump everbody untill they get all the way up to the station.
And jumping the line for Raging Bull is too easy. All it takes is one kid to climb over that wooden railing and they just got a free flash pass so to speak.

And I say again.

Stop complaining, and do something about it.

Why would that make you want to leave the line :?: The only thing I can think of is an age difference thing. Where they trying to line jump? I mean if they were just hittin' on ya, I would've lived it up and had 2 new coaster "buddies" for the day.

Just askin'/sayin'
Push down, then pull up. Exit to your left/right. And, enjoy the rest of your day at Six Flags! Your friendly enthusiast Kyle.

Theres always one on every ride. But what can we do about it you cant blame the ride ops or workers at GA they can only do so much and pretty much doing what their supposed to do to handle abnoxious riders. Its some of the riders faults for not paying attention to the park rules and signs posted all over the park its not just teens or kids but everybody including the adults who visits the park.

Wow, I didn't know what kids my age are doing these days. Not just that time but I've heard lots of other people on this site complaining about bratty teens. Geez.
Eh.......I got nothing.

Well yeah, you'll see a lot more rich brats than lower class people at the park these days, unfortunately.

^ How do you know that that is true? Do you ask each of the annoying kids what their annual household income is :D? I don't mean to sound obnoxious, but you can't just assume that most of the annoying people are rich.

Usually, you can tell in the first 5 seconds. I'm not a very politically correct kind of person but you'll have to deal with that. Don't mean to sound obnoxious.

Queue's for rides(any rides) in Belgium and Holland have the most obnoxious people, mainly due to their wide acceptance of public urination (use your imagination and it will probably be pretty accurate)
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping
Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073

There are a few things to tell.....
-Do they have a season pass
-Do they hang in a big group all acting like there too cool for there age
-Do they have a razor phone (this is a BIG clue)
-Do they buy the $4.50 energy drinks (especially two of them)

And I'm not talking about all ages...more like 7-10th grade.

And like I said, I don't think a 7-10th grader need a Razor phone. And you will always see those kids trying to film on rides...where you see there phone on the ground or breakrun/or on YouTube.
