Funny things you've overheard people say in queuelines

While waiting in the Que. for enterprise, a couple of kids talk to each other:

"I hope none of the cagey things fly off and go to the new ride!"
"I want it to fly off and land on the new ride to ride it!"

Who I now assume to be the parents look at each other (then me!) and we all laugh together! Including my friends too, despite the fact they may not have heard what I heard...
 
The stupidest thing I've ever heard at Towers was along these lines:

"Isn't Oblivion in X-Sector?"
"No, it's at Alton Towers"
 
In the kiosk queue at Alton a couple of years back. It was along the lines of:

"How much is it anyway?"

"Dunno, prob like 20 quid or something"

Bend over kids. Uncle Merlin is about to give you a gate price shafting that you'll remember for the rest of your life. :*
 
Today in the Monorail queue

I'm not queuing for five minutes for a train when I can just walk down the road.

At best its taken ten minutes for me from the closest car park.
 
In the Air queue today, from the same group of lads
"Shockwave is mint"
"Air makes Nemesis look like the Tea Cups" :eek:
 
Another at Thorpe, "the Swarm is the fastest ride in the world and they crashed the plane deliberately!"

Facepalm...

From Thorpe too: 'The new X ride is just the old Black Hole from Alton towers, they had to get rid of it this year to make room for their new ride.' - One can dream. :(

I've got a little confession to make...I actually say these stupid things to my mates in the queue lines, just for the pure off chance that one day, one of you guys will overhear me and post it up in here...

Such classics that I have used:

In the queue for stealth I said to my mrs: "did you know they have to put larger people at the front, otherwise it doesn't make it over the top, that's why it rolls back sometimes".

Log flume: my mate asked me why they have baths and not traditional boats..." because the old ones kept getting wood rot, so they were getting replaced on a monthly basis, but then they started running out of trees to cut down"

I do the same! Like over Christmas on way to the park on the bus my other half looks at the smiler track in the car park and says "what's rhat for? Is it for the new ride? ". I said "no, its Th13eens track. During the winter they take it down piece by piece, clean and paint it and rebuild it".

He bought it for 1minute before saying "whatever! ".

Also, my friend had not been on Th13een and spent the whole of our queue time googling it as he thought we were lying when we said it didn't go upside down!

I'll let them off on this one but it's still worth sharing.

Someone at work today said :
"Why do Merlin own the London Eye? It's not a theme park."
 
Not in a queue but on air. Two chavs next to me all in addidas. One lad one lass. The lad was clearly trying to impress she wasnt really inthe mood. After what seemed like a very long and pointless attempt in calming said chavette down, the poor lad gave a look of "please end this" but he wasnt in such luck. First of all she shouted up the lift hill "if i loose my fags im gonna kill you" followed by alot of swearing and then at the end him saying "your a bit thick arent you............ you can clearly see it goes upside down we even watched it" Dont think that school trip was from eton somehow

WELL.....not funny but general stupidity...

After an announcement had been played on the radios in the queue for blivvy saying NO SMOKING, a young woman pulls out a cigarette and says:
''I don't see what the problem is, we are outside anyway, its just non-smokers being stupid.''
I felt like screaming.

ahhh one of those people who were born not having to adhere to the rules like most of us! You see a lot of them these days.
 
Also, in the Nemmy queue, two people were talking

Person1: have you been on Nemesis at Thorpe Park?
Person2: no have you?
person1: yeah. It's actually the Nemesis that used to be here, but they took it down and rebuilt it at Thorpe Park and built a new one.



....speechless lol
 
Whilst I was queuing up at the Disney Store today. A kid behind me asked their parents if Mickey Mouse was Disney. ::)
 
Does this count?
