Have any traditions?
Always have to yell when walking through the tunnel going into or out of Kennywood. Been doing that since I was about 5.

I always ride in the backseat of a coaster the first time (and most of the time).

Every time I leave Kings Island I ride the Beast last (except for last night, it was down so we settled for Drop Zone). Also on the way out of the park we stop and laugh at the retarded fountain (no offense). If you don't know what I am talking about it is the fountain on the left closest to the Eiffel Tower. It always shots higher than the rest and at an angle instead of straight up. Finally on the way out, one of my friends turns around and says, "Goodbye Kings Island, Goodbye." He got it out of a book on Coney Island.

Whenever I ride MF I look "under" the first and last turns.
I also freak the hell out of oncoming riders standing in line by screaming at them as we go zooming by.

Waving at the ride ops as you approach the lift on the Raven. Its the best tradition ever.

I always turn the turnsitle for the ride an extra time before i ride. Also, on Medusa, I always watch the horizon get spun around and it gives me a little buzz...
There is a new trend I read about certain people licking metal railngs while waiting in line. Do many people like to do that? I may have to try if its so exciting.
That is about the nastiest thing I have heard in a while. With thousands of people, bugs, and animals rubbing on those every day, it would be more sanitary to lick your own waste.
Oh yea and my traditions. At Carowinds I always ride Top Gun first no matter what. While I am at other parks I find my favorite ride and make sure that it is the last ride I ride.

A very simple one here, the very front and second to last seat are a must when I hit a new park and a new coaster.
When I go to PKD I always have to visit the candy store before I leave. Ive been doing this for about 11 years now!
Mrs. Knott's. Don't leave the park without it... Unless your going there to eat!

I have a tradition.... my homeparks are BGW and PKD. I have been on Hypersonic @ PKD several times. I I've been on all the other rides there too. My tradition is that I have never ridden anywhere other than the very front and very back of Volcano TBC, Hypersonic XLC, and Rebel Yell (both orientations, forwards and backwards). Also, on Apollo's Chariot at BGW, on the way up, I ALWAYS look over to my right at the corkscrew/drop on Drachen Fire and reminisce on the old times when it was open, and ponder on whether I'll ever have a chance to ride it again.
My tradition is to always get the very last ride on Drop ZOne (PCW Intamin Giant Drop) at night! It freaks the hell outta me but its fun!
It is tradition for my husband and i to hop on Rolling Thunder at SFgadv for our very first ride of the day.No one ever runs for that ride first so,we always start the day off rite by not waiting in any line and,it primes us for the rest of the park.

Wrigley's Spearmint Gum. I have to have it when I am at a park. (It never flies out of my mouth, and I absolutely do not stick it on anything in the park.) :)
Three, and all deal with my homepark...
For the past several seasons my wife said she has gone to Hersheypark on her birthday. We continued that tradition last year and are planning on continuing it this year. (No, that's not the only reason I married her).
For the past two years, on the weekend closest to Halloween, if there is a hockey game that weekend, I go to the park before the game and ride Great Bear and Comet for one last time to close out the "season".
Again, before a hockey game in either Nov or Dec when Hershey's Candy Lane is in full swing, my wife and I go to the park and take a ride on the carrousell. Yeah, it isn't a coaster, but this is what we did the first time we ever went to the park together, so we still do it. And even though it is not a coaster, Hershey's Carrousell is more "thrilling" than some "thrill rides". Sometimes they crank it up and it spins so fast that you get dizzy when you step off of it.
Both of these last two traditions may be in danger when the Giant Center is built. Compared to what it is now, the walk to the park will quite a bit longer from the new arena.

I promise I won't go off on a rant about those @#$%^&*! Toboggan's again.

At PKI, I always start the day with either Vortex or Face/Off and end the evening with a night ride on the Beast.
