Comments on: Top 3 Most Annoying Things at Amusement Parks http://www.thecoastercritic.com/2007/07/top-3-most-annoying-things-at-amusement.html Roller Coaster Reviews & Theme Park News Thu, 09 Feb 2012 05:04:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Matt http://www.thecoastercritic.com/2007/07/top-3-most-annoying-things-at-amusement.html#comment-9452 Matt Tue, 15 Mar 2011 23:21:22 +0000 http://thecoastercritic.themeparksyndicate.com/?p=209#comment-9452 The most annoying thing for me at amusement parks is having to rent lockers. Thankfully at parks like Dorney, Kings Dominion, and Cedar Point(except on Dragster and Millennium), they have bins to put your stuff in. Lockers are a waste of money, a waste of time, and most of all are a real pain. I hate when i'm just about to go in line and a person says "put that in a locker." JUST BUY RIDE BINS!!! They save the people and the park money, and people don't have to get out of line to put there stuff in lockers. Also, if you lose your locker ticket it will be very hard to get your stuff back from the locker. I once lost a souvenir cup in a locker when I lost my locker ticket on Kingda Ka!

However, the ride ops were taking their sweet time, and I finally gave up 45 minutes later. 2: Prices - Are you kidding me???!!! $8 for a freakin' hot dog?! $10 parking?! I mean wt... well, you know the rest. 3: Dirtyness - You don't find a dirty park too often, but when you do, you think OMG! What is that doing there?! At Carowinds, in the Rip Roarin' Rapids ride, there is a rock with so much gum on it, you can't see the rock! C'mon, people, at least try to keep the park clean! My top three:

Lousy ride ops- Seriously!!! How hard can it be to train operators! All they must do is say "Did you enjoy the ride?", press the button to let the restraints go, get them all out, press the button to open the gates, close the gates, check the harnesses, and press a button to dispatch the train. If Kneobles can do it in 20 seconds, why can't some of these lifeless, bored, angry, or preoccupied teenagers get a train out in 2 minutes! 2. Commercials- This isn't at amusement parks, but it drives me nuts when a parks does false advertising on advertisments. I saw a KD comercial where a kid is ecstatic about this one ride. And correct me if I'm wrong, but the ride was Timberline Twister at KBF! Wrong coast Cedar Fair. And in a Drayron Manor TR, there was a poster saying G-Force is the only one of its kind. The problem is that it showed a Skyloop X-car insead of G-force. False Advertising! I'm suing! ;) 1. Food Prices- 10 bucks for a hamburger plus fries. 5 bucks for a kids chicken nuggets. 10 bucks for a slice of Pizza. Amusement parks have no feeds from the outside world, do they? I could buy a Regular roast beef combo and an apple turnover (angelic voices) for the same price of a hot dog. My top three-
