Wow, thanks.

Once I got myself punched in the stomach by a six year old.
I think it happened like this:
A little girl said, "Let's go ride that ride, Mommy!" (Pointing at Ninja)
I said, "You don't want to ride on that, it hurts really bad, especially if you're small."
Her brother punches me in the stomach and says, "That was mean. You called my sister small."
His mom didn't even do anything. She just looks at me with a scolding look. I walk away laughing and wondering what the heck just happened.

^Lol! That reminds me of a funny story...
I was 13 and I was at the prairie crawl at SFMW. It's where you can look at all the prairie dogs up close. Anyway, were cramped in the tube and two kids were in there that were about 6 or 7. Me and my friends made them mad (I forgot how it was so long ago) and the sister says "You better be careful, my brother can ram really hard!" We were like "Whaaaa?? He can ram us?". And then her brother did this really weird thing and started to ram us like a deer! It was very strange!

My friend told me a story about how when he was in preschool a kid used to ram him in the stomach with his head. One day, my friend stepped to the side and the kid ran into the wall. The teacher said, "Why did you do that?" and my friend ran off crying. Anyway back on subject. That kid sounded really messed up.

I think it's funny how the GP is so confident in what they say... " No, I'm serious, it was 1,000 feet tall! " I just turn and walk away! That's one thing I liked about my ex-girlfriend, she always believed that what I said (about coasters) was right.

I know! It's so annoying.
In line for EE:
"Zack, I'm telling you it has loops inside the mountain. The workers here don't know about it. It's a secret!"

*In line fore Sooperdooperlooper
So there was this Dad and son. The kid was very young.
Dad-What are you scared about. Its really fun.
Kid-Im scared if theres loops or not.
Dad-Dont worry this is a small roller coaster there can't be any loops.
Kid- Ok, but if there is I will be really mad at you!
The best part was when they arrived at teh station after their ride. The kid was just scolding the dad. I almost cried I was laughing so hard!

^^Nearly the SAME THING happened to me! Though, it was the mother asking the kids and they told her "No, mom, there's none of them." Although they knew darn right that there were!
It's just the fact that she asked them if there were any...lol!

OK, I think this one takes the Cake
Me and a group of friends went to Cedar Point
We were going to get on Mantis when he asked the guy at the entrance "Dose this thing go upside down?" I almost had a heart attack right there. so I told him "The entrance is under a Freakin Loop!"
But the Funny one was on MF. he asked "Dose this have loops?" and I told him no. He lost his voice screaming and "Kissed the ground" when he got off.
He then said "You lied to me" and then I had to spend the next 45 min explaining the difference between a loop, inversion, and Over-banked curve.
It was all fun though.

Technically, the overbanked curves ARE inversions, they go beyond 90*, but I get your point. How could he get an overbanked curve mixed up with a loop? The Mantis one was funny too.
Yesterday, at SFOG:
"OMG! JESSICA! LIKE, LOOK AT THAT RIDE! OMG! IT HAS A LOOP!!!!"
She was looking at Goliath's helix.

^Just cause its banked over 90* does NOT make it an inversion. Not even close.

^Meh. I remember hearing something about it on TV a while back. Before I as obsessed with coasters. When I actually paid attention to what the non-coaster crazy people say.

^Im not really sure what the number is, but I think the banking has to be over 160* to be an inversion.....
