A D-bag Gets Deflated

Just make sure your bedroom door is locked so your mom doesn't accidently walk in on you. :)

You know, when I saw the title to this thread, the first thing I pictured was some lady with really big...um, breastal implants, perhaps accidentally having one of them punctured while riding some extra rough coaster.

I said D-bag, not D-cup.

Just bring a small super soaker in line with you, spitirman. That always works with me.

I think I may have been unconsciously working toward a 40 Year Old Virgin reference...

When i was young, back when Rebel Yell at Kings Dominion had buzz bars, I was a single rider in the front and they put a teen with me. Back then, all teens looked huge. Anyway, this kid started acting up and then stood up down the first hill. I was terrified he was going to fall out. I did not know what a douchebag was back then, but I knew what an idiot was.

Once on the Loch Ness Monster I looked towards the front of the train and from the first drop to the tunnel entrance this guy was standing up thru his shoulder harness. He was turned around holding his friend sitting behind him. He got back down right before the tunnel entrance ( I guess he rode before and knew he would be splattered). He then did it again thru the second loop. Of course he tried to deny the whole thing in the station even though ride ops from all over the park called to turn him in. He was not kicked out of the park but was told not to come back to LNM. He did come back and was then thrown out of the park.

What really irks the hell out of me are people who defiantly smoke in line as long as they can get away with it while the rest of us have to breath in their freakin' cancer causing lung corroding toxic smoke. These folks are some serious D-bags who care nothing for anyone around them.

That irritates me as well. That's as bad as line jumpers. It's fun to watch them get ejected from the line though, especially when they try to deny it or complain that THEY are being treated unfairly. You can't help but laugh in their faces.

I took a photo once with a guy standing up through the loop, I'll post it on here when I get back home, totally forgot I had it. Wasn't on planning on getting one like that, but after a few weeks I realized what I had caught on film.

^That is insane. I would love to see that pic out of curiosity alone. You don't know whether people are really that stupid or if they have death wishes!

Don't forget about the D-bags who think it's OK to text or talk on their cell phones while going up a lift hill, or even talking WHILE the coaster is running!

Yeah, Tina. Had that happen at Waldameer a couple years back. Girl chatted on her cell phone to a friend throughout the whole circuit. Granted, it was just the Comet, but still.

As far as the thread title, I thought maybe RGB found out that Moosh had actually given SFMM another go and actually...gasp...liked it. ;)

I have to wonder if there is any chance we were the the same day. I doubt it though. This was years ago. I'm just glad the idiot obviously knew the layout and got down before the tunnel. I just knew he was going to get splattered as I doubt there was enough clearance the way he was standing up turned around.

It's these badd apples who ruin it for the rest of us ethusists.

"Hello? Hello-We're on Griffon...GRIFFON! We're riding it right now! Where you at? ...I SAID WHERE YOU AT?"

:)

Or of course the obligatory play-by-play.

"We're upside down again! We must be going 100 mph through this thing!...Yeah, I'm going to Renee's house on Saturday...Oh snap, another drop! I'm going straight down now!"

Quick aside, but it amazes me how hard it is for people to go five minutes without using their cell phone. Seriously. Maybe I'm just not used to people calling me very often, but I can live with talking to the people in my party and not including the rest of my social circle during a lap on Lightning Racer or whatever.

Tell me about it. We were at KD a few weeks ago and while I was in the restroom, I noticed there was a guy standing at the urinal texting. Luckily I was at the other end so he didn't splash me.

Somehow I don't seem to be able to get in a trip to Dorney anymore without witnessing some moron getting out their phone on Steel Force's lift. Often more than one. They always get caught, but that holds up the ride.

Possible, I think it was May 2005 since I was there for the high school physics day trip or whatever.

It's more like ignoring the people they're with to include the rest of their social circle on their park trip. Really. Why are you here with these people and not with the person you're talking to on the phone? Or why isn't he here?

In a related rant, why is SOP for starting an automobile now
1. turn key in ignition
2. hit send button
How did people walk the earth for millions of years and not topple over without holding their hands up to their ears?

^^ Jim S, we were at Dorney last Tuesday and as we got into the third row of SF one of the 4 women in front of us turned and said to us "you guys better act all crazy on this ride because we are filming it".

I had seen a sign at the front of the park saying they would be filming at the park that day so I assumed it would be that. I asked her what they were doing the filming for and she said "on nothing special, just girls day out". They said this in ear shot of the opps but the opps must not have heard.

Off we went and 30 feet up the lift hill they pull out a regular camera and she starts filming us. I told them they better not let the ride opps see that because they will stop us on the lift hill (I really hate being stopped on the lift hill) and to make sure that strap was around her arm because it was dangerous for all of us on the coaster. The four of them looked at me like I was crazy.

Amazingly she filmed most of the ride and when we got off no one said anything to her. Ten minutes later though the ride opps stopped another group about half way up and took a camera from one of them.

That right there would have been enough for middle fingers and obscenities that would make a sailor do a double take.
