Pet Peeves

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby Sedir on July 18th, 2005, 12:41 pm
What are some pet peeves you have at the park? What are things that rides, ops, people, etc. do that really bug you?

My biggest pet peeve has to do with Iron Wolf's line. Either the people waiting for front row block off where the line meets the station, or people think that they can't enter the station for some reason. Gah, it's so annoying. Because of this, you will still see empty rows on a train leaving the station, even if the line is down to the bottom of the stairs, or farther.

Instead of naming my PET PEEVE ill just explain it.....I remember once, these 2 little black girls came up behind us while waiting inline for Big Bubba Tub and they were like, were looking for my sister and my friend turned around and threw her hand out and was like, THE HELL YOU ARE!!!! and made them go back, so these little girls tried acting all tough like we were suppose to be scared of them. need less to say i said something to the ride guy and he called up his manager and they were escorted to there parents and all kicked out of the water park.....

So my Pet Peeve is not only Line Jumpers, but the line jumpers that think your suppose to be SCARED OF THEM, when you tell them NO and they get all loud.

I guess line jumping is annoying at the time, but it really just rolls off my back. I try not to let anything bother me when I'm there. It just makes the day uncomfortable. I'm not there to be mad at everything, I'm there to have fun and hang out with friends.

Definitely smoking in line. I'm tired of these losers who flat out ignore the signs and light up just to spite everyone. I really wish the rule would be enforced. Put it out or get out!!!

i hate those who smoke in line, especially if it's weed. I also hate line jumpers, especially when it's a family of twenty trying to tell you their aunt's cousin's friend is saving a spot in line for them. It gets really annoying.

My pet peeve is linejumpers

My super-pet peeve is linejumpers who think it's okay because they have a reason (case in point: last week at Buzz Lightyear's AstroBlaster at Disneyland a woman cut infront of us after we've waited 20 min to join a group with 80% already cut, she said she couldn't wait in line because she has a baby)
I'd rather be riding the Voyage

I'm annoyed by thick lines, because people just pack in. And although a line may look short it could end up to be a much longer wait. S:UF seems to have this problem. People will fill up the width of the ride's line, even though the line won't move any faster.

1) Linejumpers

2) People who smoke in line (or wherever it's not allowed)

3) People who decide to not get into a coaster because they were too lazy to plan how to be in the same train as their group, so an entire row goes empty

It has to be people trying to sync rides with their froup on a different row...then again, usually gets me a dispatch earlier.

A double post is somebody posting two times straight in a topic. A stacked train is a train waiting on the block section to be let into the station.

one of mine is people who smoke in line or near me, it gets me really pissed off.
linejumpers is another one, a few trips back, I saw 4 or 5 people ducking under and going over the silver handrails for Raging Bull.
I hate it when ride ops standing on the station, tell you which row to go to, to speed up the boarding process, I want to go to the row I LIKE! the front row!
