0 trippy Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I sit next to this kid in Leisure Studies who always comes up with these bull**** stories of how he went to Thorpe Park the week before (even though it's shut) and a phone flew off Zodiac and hit his mate in the chest nearly killing him.I have a friend like that, he once said he saw a helicopter land on top of stealth on the helipad when it got stuck up there? what helipad :L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 TraX Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I cycle stopped Rush many a time when I saw kids spitting. PA system through the queue line. Embarrassed enough, then asked to get off the ride.In an ideal world, I'd like to have spat in their faces, see if they'd like it done to them. Probably not! ;-) NickD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not! ;-)I've spat in some ones face at school once because spat on me and yes doesn't go down well but was nice fight . But not best way to resolve the problemI'm still trying to get my head around why they do it ? Is it too make them feel hard or somin proberly a chav thing we never use to spit at school or any where Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Smiffy Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I relish in kicking queue jumpers out. Trouble is unless I see it guests will wait until people are on the ride before revealing they queue jumped. Therefore if you see it, tell the rides staff, then we can deal with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TimmyJimmy86 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I think the number one worst guest would queue jumpers, We all queue up quietly and at the respect of the other quests, We need staff in the most busy queues to keep on eye on queue jumpers and have them kicked out of the park forever including other parks.

0 Pickles Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 On the spitting discussion some people have to such as me, when I cough up some nasty stuff I have to get rid of it immediately as otherwise its stuck within my throat region for a while as I have some problems with bringing up stuff etc if I'm not near a loo, its going on the floor. I would rather not spend 2 weeks (example) of sounding like a man and coughing etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be causing the build up in your throat . A person I work with sounds like he's going to die when he starts coffin from the dreaded smoking . And he's only 24 and must smoke 40 a day !

0 JBdaWonderLlama Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Ugh, I've had some bad queue jumpers etc. at my visits.Worst had to be a gang of coloured people who wouldn't back down (I'm a small white guy, it was very hard to hold my ground). They started doing the whole 'It's coz I is black innit?' routine.Oh, and I was on queuing for Detonator and I saw some chav-ish types trying to throw stuff at riders on Nemesis Inferno.

And that actually makes YOU the worst type of visitors at Thorpe Park.Oh dear another martyr for political correctness. If anything its just the posters being a bit oversensitive about using the word black. This thread is about personal experiences with the parks worst guests and so people are entitled to have their say no matter what colour or creed the miscreants are without the fear of some person calling them racist. Large groups of young lads can be intimidating especially when they want to act 'big' in front of their mates and I sympathise with those posters who have had to experience attitude like that. The fact that they were black is irrelevant Phill Pritchard, JBdaWonderLlama and Laelda_95 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Laelda_95 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I've had the "is it cuz I'm black" thing said to me before as well. I found it amusing, because someone infront of me turned round and said: "Is it cuz I'm white that you wanna jump infront of me" Hahah the looks on their faces Sidders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like queueline rules have become rather lax these last few years, I've only seen people being told to get off of the fences in the Vortex queue once or twice whilst I've witnessed a whole load

Done what exactly? It is you that has linked those undesirable traits to a class of society, not any of the above posters. Making you the bigot? Well done sir, you win today's moron of the whole inte
