Embarassing Ride Moments

For a second, I thought Bob had a manboob tale...

Well luckily this didn't happen to me but to a friend of mine. While standing in line for DT at CP last year my friend did a number 2 in his pants because the ride is in the dark and he didn't know what to expect. The kids behind us kept asking eachother what that smell was! It was a funny and embarassimg moment. We still pick on him till this day. The ironic thing was, we had just rode MF before DT, you think he would have done it on MF not DT.

Here's a few that I'd like to forget ~_~;

The first year that V2 was up and running at SFGam, I was waiting in line. A friend of mine at the time was a ride op and spent three days telling me how "scary" it was. Having never been on an impulse before, I had that bathroom urge. I was fine...until my nice five foot five self had to jump into the seat (this was before they added that nice little concrete addition that allows you to actually REACH the seats!)...and the bathroom urge took over. I enjoyed the ride, then sprinted to the bathroom to ditch my undies and then had to run to the car for a change of bikini bottoms. Embarassing!!!

The other was this year, my first time on MF at CP. I'd been dying to get onto MF since it went up, and after waiting in line for an hour, there was no way I was backing out! I wanted to do it, even though my hubby (who isnt afraid of anything) swore I'd never ride. I got in the seat, and half way up I started screaming. "OH MY GOD IM GONNA DIE! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD! AAAAAAAAAAA WHY'RE WE GOING FASTER?! AAAAAAAAAAAAA!" The ten year old kid and his dad in front of me were laughing their butts off. I still laugh about it. Thankfully, since MF, it takes a lot to scare me.

Now we just have to get me to CP when Dragster is running. O_o;

Mine was F * RTING when climbing on to the magum. The station was pretty full and my flatulence was pretty loud.. funny how a whole station can get completely silent in 2 seconds.......everyone either laughed at me or twisted and turned their noses at me. I laugh now .... But it was VERY embarassing then !

I'll have to think about my most embarassing moment some more because there are so many. But I do remember late in August being in line for Top Thrill Dragster when a lady fell while trying to get into the train. She must have fainted or something and she fell underneath the track of the station. All of the ride ops ran to the scene and they were all reaching down to her underneath the track. It was sort of amusing but it sure did look like it hurt. She was laughing when she came out though so I would imagine she was quite embarassed.

I probably say the most embrassing moment would have to be at IOA and was loading into the jurassic park river adventure and eventhough there were tv monitors all over the station and through the queue on how to load, I still did it wrong. I was the first one out of four to enter into the raft and so as soon as I sat down I pulled in the restraint and they had to release the whole boat restraints. Its not that bad but I still remember it and that was 4 years ago.

I don't really have any exact things that I can remember that have happened to me something that is quite painfull and happens to me almost everytime I ride something where your legs dangle (especially Shockwave at PCW) I end up hitting my genitals on those stupid little things that stick up on the seats. With me only being 5 feet tall I have to jump up into the seats, and getting out is the worst, trying to lift myself up and over the "hump" (can't think of anything else to call it) since my feet don't come even close to reaching the ground.

I also had the restraint on corkscrew bonk me in the head not once, but twice when I rode it in August.

Roller coasters are more than just rides, they're a reason for living

My worst moment was on the Phantom's Revenge. After completing my first ride on it, I didn't step quite high enough to fully clear the train, and I dislodged my right shoe, which fell right back onto the floor of the car. Thankfully, my mother was now in that seat, so therefore I sheepishly asked her to retreive my shoe. Happily, I got it back before they dispatched the train, but it was a very strange moment.

Schwarzkopf shuttle loops...The most possible fun in 36 seconds.

I haven't had a terribly embarrassing moment, but my friend Steph positively humiliated herself on our venture to CP last year.

We took our first ride on Millennium Force the first night in the back seat and loved it. So we hustled out the next morning and made sure we'd get a nice front-seat ride. But when we got into the car, "front-seat nerves" took over for her and, though she'd done the ride before, she got real scared. At the top of the hill, my arms firmly in the air, I screamed at her, "Put your damn hands up!" and as the ride crested, all you could hear the whole way down the drop was the sound of "NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!"

I did manage to embarrass myself in a not-so-funny-ha-ha kinda way later that day. I had a Freeway to the Force for 10-11pm, and Steph didn't. So she jumped on the main line and waited, and I told her I'd meet her when she gets to the junction and I'd join her. Well, I was a bit early, and I stepped out to get a drink...when I returned, the ops wouldn't let me back on! I showed them my hands and begged them to ask the guy at the junction to tell them I hadn't ridden it, but they didn't buy it. Worst yet, I couldn't tell Steph I wasn't riding because I'd lost my voice and couldn't get it loud enough for me to hear me from off the line. Damn...

That's not really embarassing,but it sure is disappointing to hear that you didn't get a quick ride in.

It's yet another reason why that fast lane,Lo-Q,freeway garbage has gotta go,you two would've both been better off just going through the normal queue,at least you both would've stayed together & gotten on the ride.

I was at King's Island with a group of friends. We rode their version of Snake River Falls and one of the gals in the group got drenched...while wearing a white t-shirt sans bra.

I offered the gal the shirt off my back, literally, to cover up. Later a security officer came up to me and told me I had to put on a shirt. When I explained the situation he could care less and told me to buy a shirt for her. Nice attitude.

The girl in question thanked me later though so it all worked out in the end.

Mine was probably when a wasp got inside my shirt as I was waiting on Son of Beast's block brakes. When the train pulled into the station, I jumped out of the car and whipped my shirts off, twisting all around and shaking them to make sure it was gone. I didn't notice but I'm sure everyone was staring. ;)

A day is a drop of water in the ocean of eternity. A week is seven drops.

Not really all that embarrassing, but I have tripped or stumbled several times exiting coaster trains. I have long legs and some trains can be really difficult to exit, especially if I try to hurry off of the train. CCMR is one of the worst because I have to cross my legs in order for the ride op to be able to lock the lap bar.

Being a large person, ride ops have had to help me with the OTS restraints from time to time. That can be embarrassing.

Hey Rideman, I'm still trying to figure out those lap bars on the Jack Rabbit LOL. ;)

Still deciding where to go in 2004.

Although this didnt happen to me it was quite funny. At SFGam I was with 2 of my friends and we had gone to ride Iron Wolf. Well my one friend ended up having to deposit something into those boxes that hold extra stuff that your carrying and slowly went down to get rid of it. When he returned he was talking to us for a while and playing with his restraint (you know, how standing coaster trains can go up and down?) Well *fortunately* he was so busy talking to us he neglected to listen to the ride ops continue with their almost always uninformational speech. However anyone whos ridden a standing coaster knows that their speech also tells you when your seats will lock and that will be the position you ride the coaster in. Needless to say my friend ended up crouching low to the ground with knees bent. ALthough he is normally taller then me I am happy to report throughout the duration of my ride I was a head taller then him. Amidst all the laughter from my friend and I (and other people fortunate enough to witness this) and my friends cries of pain that ride on Iron Wolf will remain in my mind forever.:D

I wanna ride a squat coaster to......

I did the same thing on my first ride! I felt like such a loser. I rode it the year it opened and I was just a budding coaster enthusiast. I knew all the stats of the ride, but I didn't know the amount of stuff I know now. Anyway, I was climbing the lift hill and my brother was my riding partner. I grabbed the bar in front of me and started yelling. "No! I can't believe I'm doing this! I have a fear of heights! What am I doing?!"

I had a blast.

2003 Raptor Rides: 246
Raptor Rules the Sky!

When I worked the Comet at HersheyPark in the late 70's, there was a woman on the train that was so fat (how fat was she..) that when she returned to the station, we couldn't get the lap bar up in her car. We had to shut down the ride and have manitenance remove the entire lap bar system from the train.

Sneezing on the person next to me on Nemesis at Alton Towers just as the on-ride photo was being taken.

You can actually seen the greeny hitting them in the face on the photo.
