Here are some I heard at SFOG last March:
-people were debating over if 120 minutes is 2 or 4 hours
-Someone asked me what time it was while in line. I was wearing a Universal Studios shirt and a few minutes later they said, but you're on Orlando time.
-"Does this coaster go upside down?" (Today's episode featuring a B&M Hyper and a Woodie)
-People debating on if they were 2 of 3 trains away from boarding (this wouldn't normally be that dumb, but 6 trains left the station while they were debating this)
I'll probably remember more later.

But it is if you meet the right dimensions.
Mine would probably be well actually nothing lol. Im there for the rides not to listen. I just tune people out. Ive probably heard something but i forget about it.
Well actually just remembered one, My cousins wife who doesnt go to theme parks alot, maybe once a few years, went with me to Holiday World and I was taking pictures of Voyage and she said It was a steel coaster.
Now you have to remember she doesnt go to theme parks and Voyage is made of mostly steel so it is easy to think that so its not entirely dumb lol.

You can't help but listen to some of the dumb things people say when you are in 2-3 hour lines. 1 hour is about the point when I start to get completely bored.

Ah, so it is true that Chicagoan's say 'you know' all the time. ;)
I can think of a lot of funny things I've heard GP say, but honestly none of them are really dumb...it's just them not knowing much about the subject.

Person 1: "I can't ride this"
Person 2: "Have you rode Bizarro"
Person 1: "El Toro's the same thing, just without inversions"
"Is that really tall, green coaster Rolling Thunder?"
Six Flags operaters and their time judgement
1:"Kingda Ka got sold to the Japanese or Chinese or some Asian country"
2:"Then why is it still here?"
1:"Because they need a plane to fly it over their, and they can't find one"
People who think a Cobra Roll is called a Hammerhead-wrong element

Yeah, actually we do, like Texans say "Y'all"
Also
My sister while waiting in line for Diamondback
Her: "Whats A Diamondback"
Me: "A Snake"
Her: "OH! Thats why the front of the train has teeth on it!"
Me: "Your an Idiot"

I'm from Texas and I don't say y'all. I have been told that I talk like I'm from the North East but I've never lived there.
And so this isn't completely off-topic: I saw someone at SFGAm ask the operator why they weren't running both trains...
I'm from Texas and I don't say y'all. I have been told that I talk like I'm from the North East but I've never lived there.
I say it lots of times! I never seen anybody say anything dum before cause i dont pay attention to anybody in the line.

GUEST: Can you tell me how to get to Kingda Ka
ME: Yes take a left after the flag store exit the park drive to Lambert Airport buy a plane ticket to New York get off the plane and get in a cab and have them take you to Jackson New Jersey.
GUEST: (pulls out a Six Flags Map)
ME: Sir this map is from Six Flags Great Adventure which is half way across the country. this was a while ago like 2008.

I'm standing on line. People from somewhere else not near Jackson are looking at the map.
Them1: What should we do next?
Them2: Maybe that white coaster...what's that called?
Me: Scream Machine?
Them1: Dude! It's like the same height as Kingda Ka on the map! That's tall!
Them2: I'm not doing it then!
Them1: I'm with you there
Me: [Face palm]

Haha, I saw a video of what Six Flags Guy was talking on YouTube, but it was just an enthusiast doing it as a joke. I never thought anyone would be that stupid.
And as for what Palmer said... :Facepalm:

At Greezed Ligthenin' at the front of the line:
"Does this ride go upside down?"
LOL like somebody in front of Chang asking is this a wooden coaster or a steel cosater.

Me: No, It goes sideways. Its one of them newfangled coasters from Awesome Coasters Inc.

haha ik so lame... it was funnier when i heard it... i don't usually remember what people are saying... but i never hear anything as stupid as what im reading on this thread
