The funniest thing I have probably heard was one chav questioning to another why there were nets below "Rush" at Thorpe park. Her friend replied; "Its there to catch you if you fall out". She said it like it was obvious.
Also, I was in X:/no way out once and I heard someones voice echoeing through the queue line tunnel
"Keisha I just walked into a wall!"

Standing in line for Top Thrill (one of the few times I went on it):
Dimwit Girl 1: I cant wait!
Dimwit Girl 3: I know! Like, how fast does this go?
Dimwit Girl 2: I dont know, 200 mph? I just worry if this goes upside down :nervous glance to the track:
Me to my sister: ...facepalm.jpg...Good god, I fear for my generation ><
Sigh....I really hate the GP blatant stupidity at times...
Switching between the hideouts'...

I've heard several so far....
In the queue for shockwave, as the train came into the station I heard somebody say "Oh, do you stand up?"
It's not just peeps at parks that get it completely wrong...
I read in a travel brochure once (something along the lines of this):
I'll let you work that one out for yourselves... :--D
OK, it's not that funny, but it's amazing how wrong a published article can be...and the colossus ride!WTF!

When I was queuing for Spinball (I think?) at Alton Towers last week, there was an unusual video of The Incredible Hulk on the TV's, but was advertising Alton Towers. I heard some kid (about 9/10 years old) say to his friend, 'that's the new ride 'what lies beneath' next to Nemesis', his friend replied with 'that's the Incredible Hulk from Universal Florida, I doubt it because it's far too big...' and then went on a long-winded speech on the restrictions at the park. That kid will one day grow up to be a mega enthusiast!

Except that since the claim was only "100". Which it goes to. They didn't mention MPH whatsoever. It's actually a really good piece of advertising because it's true but the stupid (there's loads of them at theme parks) fall for it.
Most of the people who cry about it are probably upset they fell for it.

Alton are pretty cute when it comes to marketing like this. You have to hand it to them.
