"MY BAR ISN'T LOCKED!"
Yes that's because people are still boarding and you literally just sat down.

"Any wooden coaster could just fly off a hill!"
Hey, there's this thing called an UPSTOP WHEEL. It's there to STOP the train from FLYING OFF.

The best one with this is the fairground ride 'Extreme' at Crows. They actually slowly rotate the ride without the harness' down first to make sure all seats are full and it sets unbelievable panic in some people.

At Blackpool Pleasure Beach, a man and his father in the queue for Grand National:
"The second drop on the hig one is taller than the first"
"When infusion opened, seven people died"
And people referring to the Big One's height. I've heard it 235ft, 237ft and 253ft.
And for the Nickelodeon Streak, a person was saying that five years ago (when the ride was SBNO for the year) that she flew out and her mother had to pull her back in by her legs.

I remember hearing a whole bunch of random things in line for rides at Kings Island, Cedar Point, Fun Spot America (Orlando, Florida) and a few other places.
"Millennium Force goes upside down, twice, the first turn is a loop!" "You go upside down before hitting the last bit of brakes!"
Um, no, no sir you don't. That was just one of the many I've heard! :|

Re: Stupid things the GP have said
Swear we had a newer version of this topic but could I find it? No, so I'm resurrecting this one.
This morning I got the millionth **** TPR video of a coaster posted on my Facebook with 'what do you think Sue?' underneath. I politely explained that there is in fact a Vekoma motorbike coaster in the UK, one does not have to travel to as far as China to the one photographed. Fine, not too stupid.
Then some random person chimes in with 'that's exactly like the Looping Star at Dreamland'. Now I've seen some stupid comments in my time but comparing something with motorbikes on it to a looping coaster takes the biscuit. But to go onto the wall of someone you don't know and post that like you know ****! Seriously?!
Edit: No need to have two of these topics at the same time, so moved this post and the replies to the newer topic. - ECG

OMG I'm so sad that I missed out on all the fun. What a twit. He's still arguing with me over messenger!
I love how he's changed his original post as well from 'exactly like Looping Star' to 'seems like the same as the Shooting Star'. WTF?!

Re: Stupid things the GP have said
Oh the GP...
I just started Level 2 Art at my school, and I did a very bad sketch of Fury 325(you can still tell it's F325 from colors and such). So some of my classmates come over to see what I was drawing. Here were some of the things people thought it was:
-A River
-A 'fancy' variation of the letter, 'h'
-A mountain
After I explained to them that it was a coaster, here were some of the coasters people thought it was(also note that I, and the school, live near SFGAm):
-Raging Bull
-Kingda Ka
-Top Thrill Dragster
-Millennium Force
-Batman(The ride)
-X Flight
After I explained to them what Fury 325 was, here were some of the comments:
-What theme park is it at?
-A theme park can be in 2 states? What about territorial laws?
-How tall is it?
etc....

The towers fan boys are worth a mention, some of the things they come out with. Seriously.

Apparently, a backwards coaster is where a train launches out of the brake run, and slows down on the lift. According to a friend.

Sorry for double post.
This isn't really Cringe Worthy, I just thought I'd say it.
On a YouTube video about Wicked Cyclone(On/Off ride animations or something), a guy exclaims, "WHAT ITS IN ENGLAND!" And one of the replies was, "No, it's in New England."

The worst I've heard was in 2010, my teacher informed our class of a "500 foot tall indoor vertical drop roller coaster in China" word for word. I usually don't care about the public's lack of knowledge of coasters, they just aren't as interested in them, and I can't expect them to know facts like the speed of Top Thrill Dragster. However, it does irritate me when they try to inform me of facts about a ride that are incorrect. It is just that they usually do it to show off like they know a lot about roller coasters. Things like "The Intimidator is the tallest roller coaster in the world actually, and I rode it twice" and "The Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is the fastest roller coaster in the world."
