First of all Bull never sends half-empty trains. And second of all Viper NEEDS a grouper. If you have waited in that station before this year you would know why.

My biggest pet pee-ve is when people pee (urinate) in line because they don't want to lose their spot and go to the bathroom (I guess they cannot hold it any longer). I've only seen it once, but it was disgusting and he should have been arrested for public indecency (at the very least kicked out of the park)!

yea lol, my sister did that, shes scared to put her arms up.

My pet peeves are when people in front of you are jacking around and hit you and dont care to say sorry, these 3 little girls, lesbians i suppose, were all over each other in S:UF line and these people behind us were getting tired of it too so when we got to the bottom of the stairs i literally YELL " can you kids just act normal, Jesus". and the people behind me and my sister thanked me . . :D Im such a good semaritan.

and another one is when stupid fastpass users come into the line as soon as I get to the point in which they enter, we had about 10 come into RB's line, i got so mad. i understand thats what there for but i just think thats annoying.

i hate it when people sit in line and say all this crap about how people have died on a ride. Me and my sister were in line for VU and these girls kept sayin that a lot of people have dided on it before and they scared this little boy in front of us. I told the girl to shut up and i told the boy that no one had ever died at the park, he still didnt get on . . . :roll: , i tried.

I have a few more pet-peeves to add after my most recent visit:

1. People who can't stop clicking the belt buckles on IW when waiting to re-enter the station. Come on, stop that!

2. Slobs. You know, these people that haven't grasped the concept of trash bins and/or garbage bags.

3. Fast pass users who waste using a pass on a line that's no longer than 10-15 minutes. It's not so much a pet-peeve as it is a question of their intelligence on the usage of a fast pass. Duh. What's the point of wasting one of your four passes when in line for IW that has a 10-minute wait when they could be used more appropriately for rides with substantial waits like S:UF and RB?

4. Fast pass users who argue with staff about arriving to the line five minutes after it closes. I seen this happen at RB Wednesday. You were late, so get lost. The staff shouldn't have to put up with your crap because you were late.

I hardly ever see security catching people line jumping. One of the last times I was there, there was a security guard standing by the Vu line making sure people wouldn't linejump.

People who have disability passes that don't have anything wrong with them and you have to wait for another train because of them.

Just be VERY careful about what you say when they're in earshot. Some people may not appear have anything wrong, but have a condition that, for example, prevents them from standing for more than 20 minutes at a time.

I hate when kids that have ADHD get a disability pass. Pfft! There was this big group of kids and they were actually taunting the people in line saying "They can get on any ride without waiting". I seriously wanted to slap that little brat. :lol:

I would be one of those people. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis. For those that don't know, it's like a severe case of arthritis, which starts at the base of your spine. If it gets bad enough, the spine will fuse together making standing up straight impossible. There is no cure for it. Excercise and pain killers is all you can do for it. As for me, I look fine on the outside, but on the inside it's a whole different ballgame. It's bad enough for me where some days I can barely move without pain, and it affects my ribcage, my shoulders, and my neck. Basically feels like I have pulled muscles 24/7. Some days I feel fine, others it's a complain to get out of bed.

Anyways, I don't get disability passes though, I'm not that messed up yet, lol. People question my intention of riding coasters with all this pain. I guess I can put up with it for just one day of fun. But yeah, watch what you say. Just because someone looks fine doesn't mean they are. 8)
