ride-op classic quotes

Hello swamp fox riders...please unhook the chain and hook it behind you. Get in the train and secure you lap bar. Let me see 'ya faces because i'll nver see them again because this ride is known as the death ride. BYE !

My favorite universal ride op quote is "All clear...dispatch". I find it very soothing and reassuring.

My favorite was on Speed: The Ride. The ride op was telling us that there are 3 rules on the ride. He said the first one (something typical for a coaster, but I don't remember what it was), then the second one and just as he was about to tell us the third one we launched. I thought that was funny.

Being a former Paddlewheel Captain at CP several years ago one of the lines that always the best response as we were docking the big boats..."You'll feel a bump in the front, a bump in the back, and a big jerk behind the wheel"

Not sure why everybody liked that one...:)

Also back in 95 when the slogan was "We're celebrating 125 summers of real thrills" That was often changed around the park to "125 summers of cheap thrills".

The old line the demon at SFGAm used to use in the 80s was "please hold on to any and all loose articles because we are not responsible for what the demon takes or breaks."

Deja Vu's first run on media day through the banner: "That's a 65mph papercut!"

At hershey park on the Sidewinder

" Enjoy you ride on Side winder whe we will drop you from 3,000 feet and you will be traveling at 500 mph, go upside down 100 times and then do it again, backwards"

the funny thing was that the kids behind me actually believed him!!!!!

Cedar Point definately has the best ride op quotes...

Once on Gemini: "Welcome to Gemini, the coaster for everyone who doesn't feel like waiting in line for Millennium Force..."

I laughed so hard when I heard the ride-op say that...

Also on Millennium Force, after the recording:

"Welcome to Millennium Force, we're going to take you up a breathtaking 310' and drop you 300' at a 80 degree angle! After riding, you'll be pretty bored with the other rides here at Cedar Point, America's Rockin' Roller Coast!"

"Attention K-Mart shoppers, We do ask that you please do not sit on the handrails..Again, please do not sit in the handrails...GET OFF THE HANDRAILS!"

*someone on the train coming in gets sick and..yea*

"Clean up on aisle 1."

At SFA on the Joker's Jinx: "Please keep all arms and hands inside the car at all times and {LAUNCH} enjoy your ride!"

So...you can't handle a rollercoaster huh? Well...you ARE the Weakest Link! Goodbye!

MisterX....."thanks for riding GASM and enjoy the rest of your day here at Wally World"....thanks, MisterX, certainly puit a smile on my face.....

I would have to say that one of the funniest ones I have heard was jsut this past weekend. On X-Flight this guy was sitting on the *handrails* and the ride ops kept saying to not sit on them..they guy just didn't listen....so the op said... "Hey dude get off the hand rails...they are HANDRAILS NOT BUTTRAILS!!!!!" ok kinda stupid but oh well.

If you see me at controls at Flume this year you'll get the constant, "Welcome Back Riders. How was your ride?" This will be followed by a thumbs up or thumbs down.

On Raptor "When the ride come to a stop, please stand up, please stand up, please stand up" (From that Emimem rhyme)

You're so contagious, you turn ma pages!

On Alpengiest I rode for 23 consecutive times in the front seat and each time the op said something different. Once he said "Welcome to the Big Bad Wolf. Please lower your safety harness keep your hands and arms inside and enjoy traveling at the speed of fright!" or "Welcome aboard the Loch Ness Monster please lower your safety harness and secure all loose articles. Please enjoy your legendary ride on the loch ness monster"

I always laughed at this magnum op who said really really really fast "Welcome to the magnum xl 200! please lower your lapbar, fasten your seatbelt, and secure all loose articles because we'll be bringing you up 205 dropping you down 194 feet at a 60 degree angle. You will be going through a series of drops including a pretzel turnaround, you will then manuever over bunny hops hit the brakes and we'll see you back here in 2:30. Thank you and enjoy your ride!

I've heard that they stopped doing that this year, due to a new electical dispatching system, now I believe the co-dispatch op hits their button, and the control operator hits theirs.
If anyone can explain the details on why this was change could you please?

millenniumforcex,

Those are hilarious, ive never heared those. They do by far have the best quotes anywhere around. I love the meanstreak one.

"we will take you on the this little train for 5 minutes swooping through not 3 or 2 inversions, but NO inversions"

I get a kick out of that everytime
