Celebrity Park Guests

I was wondering if anybody (possibly at SFMM due to the close location to Hollywood) has ever seen a celebrity while at the park or possibly even ridden a coaster with them?

-----------------
Milwaukee Wisconsin, we bring you beer, brats and cheese. But don't be fooled, "Milwaukee truly is a special secret getaway that I will be sure to tell my friends about!" Erin Brockevich, not to mention that we are an hour from SFGAm........

I saw Scott Short and Sean F, at several parks, does that count?

magnum count :2166

During the 2000 Season at Carowinds, Wierd Al Yankovic(sp?) came to ride Top Gun while I was working there. Then last season, I heard that Aaron Carter went and rode the Hurler.

If you think they are celebrities.

If your really evil in this life, do you come back as toilet paper????
ladies and gentlemen, due to an increase in line jumping, people caught cutting in line will no longer be ejected from the park. u will be ejected from the ride

I was about 5 people behind Usher in line for the Chiller at SFGAdv. He was with two girls and another guy and the girls were really obnoxious saying things like, "Yeah, it's Usher. Ain't you ever seen no famous person before?" Ouch, it hurts me to write with such poor grammar. LOL

Ive seen and meet WWF Wrestlers Edge, Christian and the Hardy Boyz at Six Flags Great America a weekend they were in town for a house show in the line for Raging Bull.

Yeah...right. If Usher came to any park he would not be waiting on line

If he does goto a park, he is just another guest. He should not be treated any different because he is famous.

If the world was perfect, we would have a rollercoaster at every corner.

If the world was perfect, that would be so. But because of security reasons, celebrities are usually escorted on rides

While working at IOA:

I saw Lenny Kravits eating a hot dog

I scared Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, and some famous basket ball players while working in the haunted maze "RUN"

and while strapping them into the Pteranodon Flyers, I briefly spoke to skate legend Tony Hawk, one of the kids on "Malcom in the Middle"(I forget the name), and the nice little man who played young Grinch in "How the Grinch stole Christmas" and played the living doll in the not-so-famouse soap "Passions".

I'm sure there were more that I didn't reconize.

Many places, especially parks, airports, and hotels, have been flooded with complaints about giving celebrities the special treatment. "They're still people and pay the same price as us, so we deserve the same respect," is what you'll here. Even rules and regulations have been passed up here in Mass, becuaseof this problem. So, you will find any superstar that wants to ride Superman:Ride of Steel waiting line like the rest of us. If I was waiting in line for Millenium Force for 3.5 hours and then the Bad Boy Family came to the front of the line for a ride, I wouldn't even let P. Diddy cut me for the Force. I send him back to the beginning of that 3 and a hlaf hour line.

At universal sometime celeberties will stand in line but wear clothes to blend in with the crowd, but most of the time they will have a tour guied to escort them to the rides from the employee entrances or express entrance.

It's not that unbelievable to think that Usher would be waiting in a regular line. Friends of mine who work on Spiderman told me that sometime Britney Spears and n-sync will wear a desguise (regular clothes and a hat) and wait in the regular line.

I don't think that is fair. Celebrities get the special treatment for a reason...their own safety. Everybody waiting in line seems ideal, for people like you and me...but say you are known by millions of people in the country and everywhere you go you are noticed. When you and I wait in line, we pretty much carry on our own conversations and generally keep to ourselves...but celebrities don't have that luxury. Try having to sign autographs or pose for pictures during the whole time you are waiting. It just doesn't seem like a very fair or safe situation for a famous person to be cramped in a queue line with hundreds of other people...or dare I say fans.

Well, if they were naked they would stand out too much. I am guessing you meant they wear regular clothes/a disguise (sp).

I was right by Brian McKnight (sp?) at KBF during Halloween Haunt in 2000, we were in line for Supreme Scream, it was cool, i would pass him on the switchbacks, and there was a whole lotta commotion about him.

Welcome one and all, y'all come have a ball!
Things a bear-y fine, ridin' on the old Knott's bear-y line!

Brian Mcknight (GASP) That is my husband!!!!

I saw Kobe Bryant at Disneyland. They closed down Honey I shrunk the Audience so I went on line for space mountain. The line for Space Mt. passes the entrance for Honey I Shrunk the Audience and there was Kobe with a couple of other people. I guess they closed it just for him.
