Reading Dumb Theme Park Questions | Part One

[@william_coasters]

Someone was trying to impress me on how much they knew about rollercoasters and then said that their favorite roller coaster was the boomerang at the local six flags because "it does a flip backwards" 💀

[@sandrorbx]

Lol that six flags is my home park

[@william_coasters]

@@sandrorbx probably not, there are 8 six flags parks with boomerangs

[@jazztheory]

Everytime that guy goes to a six flags park and sees a boomerang: "Yoo it's the coaster that does a flip backwards, i love that one"

[@sandrorbx]

@@william_coasters Yeah I didn’t think bout that one before I said that

I overheard a conversation at Dorney Park a few years back where somebody asked "Is STEEL Force the WOODEN coaster?"

[@brady_06]

There's a reason why all the Superman rides need "Ride of Steel" in the name 😂

[@samuelitooooo]

Counterpoint: Steel Vengeance. Especially given its history lol

[@CoasterJam18]

My mom said the exact thing last year before we went.

[@627jace627]

We met a young woman at Kennywood last year that had 3 kids with her, the oldest being about 5 yrs old. The little girl asked me if I liked Little Phantom and I told her I haven't been on it because I'm too scared. She said "I'll ride it with you. You won't be scared". Her mother & my wife agreed it would be "cute". That's how I got my Little Phantom credit. And ironically it has more room than most adult coasters.

[@princessravendiamond4288]

That's absolutely precious

[@coastercraziness]

That is amazing

[@SteelvengeanceMaverickX2]

Oh that’s so cute

[@marcjsolis]

That “nerd” riding kids rides was probably Ryan or Uncle Nate

[@a.j.cappuccio2859]

"How to get to Cedar Point" is a reasonable question to ask considering it's so far from any airport.

[@maxhagenauer24]

Start of a new awesome series! This channel is amazing!

[@Digikid313]

In fairness to the cutting wires question, I think they are referring to traveling carnivals where wires powering the rides are clumped together, and then go across the midway to reach power sources, covered by those black step ramp things so that people don't trip on them. Those are totally accessible to the public.

[@doctorPuffin]

Pls do a part 2 this was LEGENDARY

[@benwinegarner4797]

I love this topic. I was a ride op. At Disneyland (Ca.) For 10 years and we always laugh at some of the dumbest questions we would get while working. Two of my favorite questions I got are: 1. "Hey, is that real water?" 2. "How long is 50 minutes?" Lol. I would love to see another vid like this.

[@coasterwolf7507]

I love this! It gives off “Dumb Quotes from the GP” vibes!

[@marcjsolis]

Dumb Quotes from the GP has (nearly) returned

[@Kas-tle]

The questions tied to place info boxes on Google tend to be even more absurd than these if you’re looking for more content to do this again.

[@Tacoaloto]

3:21 Reviving my ride idea, we take top thrill dragster, re-profile it into a transit ride. Launch 120 MPH 420 feet in the air, then instead of returning to the station, you go to the 2nd station in the back of Frontier town. Then new passengers board it, go 120 mph up 420 feet in the air, and end up at Dragster's original station. Call it, Top thrill transport.

[@me-myself-i787]

1:49 The best way to do it would be, make the piece of track invisible, and add a zero-G hill. That would effectively simulate the track being missing.

[@natemck234]

4:02 “Welcome to Dondawood”

[@coastingthrills7297]

Yes! We need more of these videos!

[@rivertownproductions]

1:57 I remember a video game called thrillville on the WII that had a coaster that could do that, where it literally had a jump. Maybe they were inspired by that?

[@blunderr6113]

had that game too, absolute classic haha

[@MattMcIrvin]

Some years back there was a video containing a doctored shot (which was also the thumbnail) of a coaster with a loop that had a gap in it, and it was extremely effective KZbin clickbait. I recall hearing that back in the 1920s or so there was an entrepreneur at Coney Island who tried to build a roller coaster that jumped a gap, but he never actually completed it, probably for the best.

[@iitzfizz]

I can appreciate the work you've put into even videos like this with multiple angles. ya'll are appreciated jus know XD

[@_coasterhead_]

Some worker at SFFT on Iron Rattler stapled me and was pissed off because I was trying to get wiggle room. Then he said the words "Someone died on this ride because of what you did, please do not do it again" Me and my friend got so confused on why he said that, no one has ever died on IR!

[@coasterhockygamingboy9549]

He's referring to the NTG accident so I see where he is coming from. Still really weird.

[@_coasterhead_]

@@coasterhockygamingboy9549 I thought the same thing

[@h-man1371]

@@coasterhockygamingboy9549 Ironically that incident was caused in part by ride op negligence.

Obviously, management covered up the Iron Rattler accident. Like how Thorpe Park covered up the Saw: the Ride accident. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGTEgIyFeq6cj7s

[@jamesmason5576]

You should try working at a theme park for at least 24 hours. The questions are so mind numbingly crazy that your IQ will drop points. Ive done it for almost 5 years and I can write an essay on dumb questions!

[@darthvader5532]

"Does this ride go upside down?" After they stand there watching it for 45 mins, 20 of which, they stood directly under one of its loops. 😂😂😂

[@tc6818]

1:08 Tyler seems stoned. As for the wires, the person who wrote the question is asking about the black insulated cables laying on the ground. Those cable go from the generator to the rides. Cutting into one of those cables will likely electrocute the person holding the knife. Electrocution, a 10,000 degree F arc flash, molten metal splattering in your face, etc.

[@andrewc1199]

I was at Epcot one time and I heard this couple ask "What's the Magic Kingdom?"

[@darthvader5532]

Tell them its a bunch of hippies that live in an abandoned castle that stay high on pot brownies all day. 😐

[@Hangtime_Davi64]

The question about wires is probably referring to pop-up fairs where they do tend to have cables fed through cable-runners across pathways. I imagine if you cut them you would go to jail.

[@marcelwannieck]

Ok, if I'm going to take the question about coasters being used for transit WAY too seriously, the problem is capacity. Take the standard 6 car RMC train for example. It's a pretty average roller coaster train. 12 meters long, 24 seats. Well, a standard solo bus is also about 12 meters long but it has 31 seats with standing space for an additional 30 people. 61 passengers. And that's the lowest-capacity type of transit. Let's look at rail-based transit. An average tram in my city is over 27 meters long with room for 157 passengers. And then there's the metro. 6 car trains just like the RMC but the train is 115 meters long and can fit 912 people. 252 of them get a seat. So there are over 10 times more seats and space for another 660 standing passengers. No roller coaster could ever hope to compete with that. Not even the huge 9 car B&M Hyper trains with their mere 36 seats. And let's not forget dispatch procedures. On a roller coaster train, you need to pull down and check restrains, not everyone might fit in the seats, etc. Most parks take around a minute to dispatch a train. On a metro train you just close the doors and go. Trains are only stopped for about 20 seconds before they start moving again. HOWEVER: I would still be so down for some actual roller coaster transit. Screw efficiency, it would be so much fun!

[@samuelitooooo]

Also gotta factor in accessibility, cargo (suitcases, groceries, carts, strollers), productivity (reading, doing work on the laptop - or the opposite: getting some sleep), cost/fares, weather, and clothing (e.g. uniform to school/suit to work) lmao

[@thisrollercoasterlife498]

I had that same idea of having a roller coaster at cedar point that goes from the front to the back of the park! I've thought about that for years.

[@MelieneGardner]

I was about to get on X Flight when someone had a "bathroom accident" (not sure what type) on the coaster. The protocol is the same as if someone threw up. It's maybe not as uncommon as we think.

The roller coaster that goes from front to back at Cedar Point is a big B&M Hyper.

[@Achterbahnjunky]

"Maybe when people get too old for rollercoasters" A returning visitor to my local themepark is an 80+ years old woman, who goes on all the rides the park has, sometimes 20-30 times in a row. That includes an invert multilooper and a launched eurofighter. She's been on both rides more than 1000 times. I am aware that this is uncommon, but it gives me hope.

[@jordonfreeman166]

I’m in Orlando right now (April 5th) and yesterday my group rode Spider-Man at Universal and it broke down while we were on it, so we were rewarded with single use Express Passes as we got off their ride. Unfortunately, it’s not valid for VelociCoaster or Hagrid’s, or the Pterodactyl Flyers.

[@StamfordBridge]

Not all of them are dumb questions for non-enthusiasts (most, yes, not all). For example, question: What is the difference between Disney and Cedar Point? Answer: Disney is more about a themed experience, and Cedar Point is more about thrill rides.

[@MattMcIrvin]

Yeah, this just strikes me as someone who doesn't know a lot about theme parks, and most people really don't.

My friend almost peed himself on a ride. Hour long queue for 13 at Alton towers. He literally got stapled and almost peed himself on the drop track section.
