I recently looked at another forum where people were talking about times when you hear Non-coaster enthusiasts say false (usually very dumb) things about coasters.

My story was one time at Carowinds I just got off White Water Falls and was soaking wet after standing on the bridge. Me and my friend who is also soaked to the bone went to get in line for Afterburn. This one girl turns and asks what ride we just road. Now this was during the time where Nighthawk was closed for like a month last year. Without missing a beat, I sarcastically say "Well the reason why Nighthawk is down right now is because we were riding it earlier, then our seat restraints failed. We then fall into the pond below avoiding all injury." SHE BELIEVED ME!!!!

Are you trolling? Hahaha jk, well all I do is repedidly hearing " did you know its the tallest fastest longest coaster in the WHOLE southeast"....yep.

But seriously, is this trolling?

[Picklesthedrummer]

No I am not attempting to troll. I am just trying to get everyone to share funny stories of people who say dumb things when it comes to coasters, in order to get a good laugh

I will facepalm this thread.



Don't assume everyone who reads this board is an "enthusiast."

Well, one that really gets on my nerves is when people put "the" before Intimidator or Hurler. I mean, if Carowinds wanted it to be called The Intimidator, I think they would've had it printed on the logo.

I know what you mean, but sadly sometimes I catch myself doing it too lol

What I really hate is being in line trying to enjoy a ride when I hear some coaster dork spout off just how long the ride is down to the inch.

What really gets on my nerves is when I am standing in line and some kid will try to tell me something that is obviously not true.
Ex: THEM-Did you know that the Intimidator goes over 100 mph? ME-Oh no, really? Tell me more. THEM-Yeah I've ridden it 6 times, I think that might be a record. ME(in my head)-Are you kidding me? I've rode this thing 15 times today.

Them: What ever happened to Borg and Top Gun? I loved those rides when they were here.

Correct me if im wrong but doesn't the lift hill spiel even says "the intimidator"? I haven't been on the coaster since opening day so my memory of it is kinda vauge.

^Oh wow, you're right!! Here's the official Carowinds POV to prove it... http://www.intimidator.carowinds.com/public/downloads/videoDisplay.cfm?videoName=on_ride_pov&KeepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=570&width=830&modal=false

Brilliant.

And both intimidator and hurler have had spiels with 'the' in front of their names.
