Saw something interesting while waiting in line yesterday. They stopped the train almost at the top of the hill because someone had their cell phone out. So they are watching :shock: I love roller coasters but hate heights. I would have not been happy if I was on that train. Even though it was only stopped for a minute or two I would have not been happy.

Some folk refuse to follow rules and feel they have the right to do what they want just because they paid to get in. :evil:

Someone in front of me did that on Sunday. They wanted to hand their cell phone to one of the staff but they were told they had to keep it with them. So they are whipping it around as we go up the hill. They announced over the speakers on the hill "For the safety of the other riders, please put away your cell phone". She didn't know what to do with it so handed it to a stranger in the same row.

In other parks they would have stopped the train. Had that happen to me at Cedar Point.

I don't know why people act so stupid the have 4 cameras going up the lift hill. That happened last night on my train just we didn't stop they just announced it over the speakers on the lift hill kinda killed my whole vibe until we dropped that is lol


Is it me or is intimidator's lift incredibly slower than it was last year? Or have I just gotten use to Furys lift?

The lift slows down a lot if another train is going through the course. Yesterday there were only 2 trains running so this didn't happen as often. Oh and someone puked on it yesterday they sent the tea empty a few times after cleaning it up i guess. Im still at the comfort inn by the park.

Yea I was there in line when it happened, dude hurled all over the catwalk and the side of the chair. I was praying no one was walking underneath that portion of catwalk being its right by the gift shop.

^ I went on a Good Friday a few years before Intimidator was built and it was so crowded that we left only a few hours after we got there because lines were so bad. I'm debating going this Thursday, but I refuse to go Friday.
