People Who Know - CoasterBuzz

Who or what is the People Who Know? I don't need specific people, I was just wondering.

People Who Know are any people who take part in or are associated with the amusement park industry and are aware(no the inside) about upcoming projects in the the present or near future.

ie: No-one who posts on an internet site.

Why ride rough coasters when you can ride smooth ones?

What about Agent Johnson? He sure knows a lot about the planning of Wildwood.

There are PLENTY of "People Who Know" on this and other sites. WHAT they know varies by what park, event, coaster, or incident is being discussed. And, if they want to keep their jobs, or continue to get such information, then we know when to keep our mouths shut.

So Greg does that mean that you are one of the "People Who Know," or are you one of the "People Who Sometimes Know." And does that make the rest of us the "People Who Really Want to Know, but Don't?" ;)

Ok, I will fess up...I am in a member of the People With No Freakin' Clue club...LOL

Happy Coastering!

Me too, freakylick.

Also, those who say they know, usually don't! :) Those who do usually keep their mouths shut.

You guys cant tell anybody, but I am the president of the People With No Freakin' Clue club. 55% off all regular admission prices. The only catch is that you have to be a senior citizen. ;)

Then there are the people who know some of the people who know. ;) I know a couple of insiders at a couple of parks. Only one of them really knows anything...and all I can say is that we will be very happy with the new rides at SFGAm & SFWoA ! :)

I guess I'm the sole member of the "people who don't care club". It's only June. I still have a lot of riding to do this season. Once off season comes along I'll upgrade to the "people who have a mild intrest but have better things to do than obsess" club.

I don't understand the need for info (and why so many people crave it) when it comes to new rides at parks. Bottom line is, no matter when you find out what's going in at any given park, we all have to wait pretty much the same amount of time to ride it.

I guess there some sort of bragging rights involved or something because many "people who know" love to keep reminding us that they're "people who know". If you can't give info (and in most cases I understand completely why you wouldn't be able to) then why even bother mentioning that you "know something" - unless you want to feel important.

The whole thing makes little sense to me.

I don't trust the People Who Know. Well then again I hardly trust anyone.

It's his turn to feast, when you ride the Son of Beast.

Well, I had Batwing in October of 2000, and someone (a manager?) talked who probably shouldn't have while I was in line for Two Face. It's rare, but it does happen.
