So I was reading a great trip report just a second ago and I thought man what a great topic. I'll never forget the ride-op on mantis the other week "We are going to take you up very very high you'll go very very fast (insert guy getting sick right next the ride op talking) and you guessed it you could get very very sick, Captain crunch berries anyone?"
Also at gemini " Its like the DARE slogan folks Just Say No, to photography that is"
"Stand Clear"
"STAY OFF THE HAND RAILS! YEAH YOU OFF THE HANDRAILS!"
"We're gonna turn you, and your dinner, upside down 6 times, 4 ways in 2:32. So sit upright, hang on tight, and that includes your dinner casue I don't want to see it, and enjoy your flight on Raptor"
Myrtle Beach, the ticket taker to five kids that climbed over the fence and got in line for the ride,"no tickets, I guess it's OK."
On Jokers Jinx: "The ride will be launching in 5.....4.....3.....(launch)...See ya!"
Too bad I can hear a bit of air release when they push the launch button, and its 3 seconds after that.....or it would get me every time.
Gemini: "We're going to take you up 90,000 feet and drop you at a 97 degree angle at the speed of light! We're going to turn you upside down, not once, not twice but not at all!"
"Thank you for riding Magum XL200 and enjoy the rest of your day at Cedar Point, America's roller coast."
I always liked - "The handrails are called handrails for a reason, They are for your hands, they are not to be used as chairs."

On Cedar Creek Mine Ride:
"We're going to take you higher and faster than.... Jr. Gemini!"
One I also liked while in line for a haunted house:
"Don't touch anything unless it touches you first."
Heard on various rides and coasters:
"Please keep your arms and legs and any other body part you'd like to keep in the car at all times."
on American Eagle (red) at SFGAm one ride op told the whole car (we were all together) "For your safety please don't piss in the seats." to which I responded "Can we at least s*** in the seats?"

this park is not copless so please don't go topless
Just before exiting Hersheypark's parking lot tram, the operator proclaimed, "Look at my roof; it does not move and it
will hurt when you hit it." We all got a kick out of that.

on gemini "were gonna take you up not once, not three times, not four times , but two amazing times"
at CP its
"Thank you for riding (INSERT COASTER NAME )and enjoy the rest of your day at Cedar Point, America's roller coast."
SFMM tram guy:
"Please watch your head when exiting the tram. If you don't watch you head, please watch your language, there are kids on the tram."
Shivering Timbers:
"Thank you for boarding the one and only Blue Train here on Shivering Timbers. I'll dispatch your train as soon as the Green Train comes over that hill. (Green Train roars past)(dispatch) If you see the Yellow Train out there, please let us know... we haven't seen it since '98!

"X" marks the spot in 2001!
On Raging Bull during a private party the operator was really cool and the guy didn't move the car and he was making a scary sound in the mic and he was saying getting scared..getting scared.. Oh no the track broke in half on the drop Whoops (he lets the train go and we are scared sh*tless.)
And now for something completely different...
"DISPATCH!"

Six Flags America? No, no! My name means "Sarcasm-For-All"
On Gemini:
Blue side: "Please do not sit on the hand rails."
Red side: "Cedar Point is a family park, please do not swear."
Blue side: "Please do NOT sit on the hand rails."
Red side: "Stop swearing."
There were a few more that I can't remember, but it went on for a while, all comments were obviously directed to certain people. I found them going back and forth quite comical.
Giant Drop @ SFGAm: please do not sit on the hand rails. Please do not sit on the hand rails. Sir! Please do Not sit on the hand rails.
fantasy quote: please do not sit on the hand rails. Please do not sit on the hand rails. Get the [bleep] off the hand rails before I come over there and kick your candyass!

"...And I do enjoy candlelight dinners and long walks on the beach."-Sidewinder ride op.
I also love it on Space Shots where they start telling people all the facts, and just launch them all of a sudden.

Colorado Avalanche: Stanley Cup Champions!
On Speed: The Ride in Vegas the ride op on the train before I boarded asked the train "Who hasn't ridden this before--raise your hand" and then launched the coaster when people raised their hands!
