When people wear Cedar Point or other amusement parks shirts and sweatshirts to Kings Island.

I wore my Firehawk hoodie to Cedar Point this past October (had to get a first and final ride on Mantis) and was complemented all day by the ride ops and even a few guests. In fact the only person who seemed irked about it (other than the girl I went with because it drew more attention to us but alas that is a different story for a different day) was the waiter at the restaurant. (Forgive me I forget the name of the restaurant. It was near Raptor and sold famous (and overpriced/overrated IMHO) crab fries.)

I wore a Banshee shirt to Cedar Point a few times this season. A lot of guests and associates asked me about the ride.

The only person who didn't like it was (park GM) Jason McClure, who spotted the shirt and told me to buy merchandise from the "right" park.

Chickie and Pete's.

I wore a Gatekeeper jacket this weekend at Kings Island, and it managed to start a few conversations with random guests.

I hope he was joking....

^ It was in jest, of course.

I wore a CoasterMania windbreaker to NJFTP two Sundays ago. Their GM smiled when he saw it, as if he knew something about the midterm future....

I saw way more Banshee and Gatekeeper shirts at Busch Gardens than I saw Busch Gardens branded clothes. Wasn't even close.

When i was working Snoopy's Halloween Party this year on top of Haunt, i got called a dog alot even though i was dressed like the wolf wearing Grandma's clothes. It was hard to tell the difference though. But i just went with it.

A few years back I remember at the Coke Refresh station I saw a family arguing with Kings Island employees because they wanted to refill their DisneyWorld souvenir cups with pop free of charge and told the Kings Island employees that they already paid for their drink plan at Disney so it should count at Kings Island.

Needless to say they didn't get any pop!

I have no words to describe this that are “clean.”  
 

“hand slap on forehead!”

I remember everyone screaming when the lights went out in the FoF preshow, and some guy saying "SISSIES!!!"

Also, some mom who CLEARLY didn't like SpongeBob telling him "You're what's wrong with television nowadays!" She went on to mention the "adult humour" in the show, like how there's a character named "Sandy Cheeks" (which in reality, was named because she's a squirrel) and how they live in a town called Bikini Bottom (again, was meant to be a reference to Bikini Atoll.) I didn't like that mom one bit and SPAT IN HER FACE as she left. Thankfully, she didn't see me. Then again, my parents and I were the same way with Dora (though that's because of her incessant screaming and the creepy art style.)

You know that spitting on someone is battery if they press charges, right?  I hope you have decided not to do this as you have matured.

I didn't spit DIRECTLY on her, but in her direction. And I was 8.

And what followed that line... Jim Cummings' sexy voice as the alien leader saying "There is nothing wrong with your equipment," with that nigh-mocking overtone... I felt funny in my little girl knickers, that's for sure!

A guy was bragging saying his basketball skills were the best and how he was going to make all the baskets into the hoops for that 3 Point Challenge game! 

(He missed every shot!) 

Skipping people in line to "catch up with their party"

Thats irritating as heck. Lol. Thats line jumping and its one of my biggest pet peeves........... 

 

Heres one for ya: When a guest goes into a haunt, gets partway through the queue, and takes a bazillion photos........ and wont stop talking about said haunt........................... and continues talking for an hour................(Guess who, and where. LOL)

When people stand too close to you in line and they cough or sneeze on you! It's happend quite a few times to me! 

When they are so excited that they bump into you

Can't sit still or constantly are on your tail and maybe even pass you even though your in front of them!

Call Invertigo "Timberwolf"

Video tape on a ride after being deliberately told not to

Sit on the rails-I'm fine if you lean on them, just don't do so where they have to call you out

Push the switchback queues (the things that turn on the end that determine if you go to the next switchback or not) back and forth until they hit someone's back side. One time I got a "talking to" because someone in front of me pushed one in Racer's queue and then the person behind me got mad because it was stuck.

When guests yell "DON'T GO IN THE SHED!" Going up the first lift hill on Mystic Timbers...

 

(OK I admit this guest was me! )

Or yell out the siren sound at the top of the lift hill (I may be guilty of this)

I sneezed when I read this.

On preview day, we were walking through the Sweet Spot, and we saw a family walking up to the register with 3 huge bags of pound candy.  I had to stop and watch the total that rang up.  Considering the candy is $4.99 / quarter pound, I was wondering if they misread the sign and thought it was $4.99 per pound.  Yep.  Because their total was over $200.  I think they ended up buying one of the bags of candy.

Math is important. 

I was walking to Grain and Grill from the Trading Company at the front of the park. This mother was taking a photo of her child. This child was about 4 or 5 and was standing on the bricks that are in front of the fountains. She asks him to dance for the camera. He turned around and started twerking. I looked at my wife and we cracked up.
