  • If you've been watching this channel for a while, you've probably come across some phrases or words that you continue to hear pop up. Some of it may sound confusing- but not anymore! Taylor and Alec are here to discuss some of the lingo they use in their daily lives that originated from the theme park industry. This is by no means all of the phrases used, as that will require another video!

    Lrotot. Last ride of the night on Torro. Also I am glad you made that point about GP. For my enthusiast friend and I aGP is someone who either doesn’t follow or is uninformed about roller coasters and their minutia. But I also know some GP that have ridden a lot of coasters but don’t know The terminology but know that they are safe. For me my friends and I will sometimes gently tease the GP but never to their faces. We’re never flat out rude or harsh to them because you don’t have to be in enthusiast to be cool. We’ve all been there. I was technically a GP until part of the way through this year. Though I have to say it is a little fun scaring them on rides you know they’ll find scary like Kah or Torro. But my sister and other good friend are GP so I try to be nice for their sake. I’m always up for educating people who want to know more about coasters. I’ve never heard the term thusies.

    • @unabashedlyanne4527
      @unabashedlyanne4527 5 років тому +1

      I guess I'm halfway between GP and enthusiast, I love learning about roller coasters and I love riding them, but every time I look at a roller coaster I get like super nervous about riding it even though I know I'm safe and that I'll likely enjoy it. Before getting on a coaster I've never ridden before I usually do a couple deep breathing excercises to lower my pulse and that helps.

    Speaking of creds, I don't count rides like Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts and Journey to Atlantis (Orlando) as credits, because both rides only have one drop/turn. Gringotts is a dark ride that uses coaster track and trains to do what it needs to do and Atlantis is a water ride with one coaster element (the main drop doesn't count).

    My favorite "slang" isn't really slang because it's a pretty solid term, and probably a lot of you have heard it before. "Weenie." It sounds like weenus, which is the extra skin on the outside of your elbow, but it's actually a real term used in theme parks and architecture. As far as I know, it was developed by Walt Disney as he wanted the Imagineers (the creative force behind the Disney parks) to create certain "visual magnets" to guide guests from one area to another. Weenies in Disney parks include Cinderella's Castle, Space Mountain, the fake Mount Everest for Expedition Everest, etc. Pretty much every park has a weenie too, for example, I would say The New Revolution is a weenie at Six Flags Magic Mountain because it's one of the first rides you see, and it's aesthetic loop really makes you wanna go over and ride it. So like all the other terms in the video, "weenie" can be used outside of parks. In architecture, it might be a main centerpiece in a plaza, or a really intricate design element on a building. And it can be really anything that grabs the attention of a lot of people, such as a big neon sign for a restaurant. So next time something gets yours and your friends' attention, be sure to call said thing a weenie. What the weenie!?

    Wonderful video Taylor. Some of those I heard. I loved how you shared some of your personal terms. On the subject of bathroom. When I am at a park and I need to use the bathroom as a NASCAR racing fan I say "Hang on guys I have to make a pit stop." "Pit stop" is my slang term when I'm at a park when nature calls.

    I have always loved coasters since I was a kid. This summer I drove to CP by myself for a week.
    It only made since to buy a platinum pass. I made the trip because I really wanted to ride TTD at least once in my life.
    I had never heard of SteVe before the trip, only saw a show on the Travel channel a few years ago about CP.
    I drove 12 hours in that first day and got the the park around 5PM and TTD had been down for the day. I rode a few other rides. The next morning I was waiting with the early entry people and they told me they were all running to SteVe first thing. I asked about it and told them I don't really like wooden coasters. They told me to just ride it. I jogged down and go on it about 4th or 5th train and I was just WOW!!!!!! I only rode it twice each day because of the long lines, once first thing and once in the evening. Got 10 rides on SteVe that week. I did ride TTD 10 times in one day and have 21 rides total on it. Also did 5 rides on Milly in one hour that week at early entry. Any way my week was up and I went home. Labor day weekend was coming up and I had made some plans to do some stuff when It hit me I would take one day off at work and have 5 days in a row off. I dropped my plans and drove back up to CP. I really missed riding SteVe!!!! I already had the platinum so why not. I got 11 more rides on SteVe in those 5 days, hardly riding anything else. The wait for SteVe is worth it!!
    Anyway the last regular day of the season at CP, Septemper 2, 2019 I was the very first rider of the day on SteVe. Rode very back, left seat. I got another ride in midday and was planning on 2 more before the park closed. But line for SteVe just kept getting longer and I knew I was only going to get one more in, not two. I talked to the staff at the front of SteVe and they told me that the chain goes up at 10 minutes after park closing time. So I crossed the chain 9 minutes after and was the last rider of the day also.
    I didn't know that this was a thing, but I guess it is. Being first and last of the day. So I guess I'm not GP. Lol!

    I've always thought of the technical definition of general public is basically "customer of park (not employee)." But as an enthusiast, it's a useful short term for non-enthusiasts. Some people are a bit elitist and get hung up on the technical definition. It's not meant to be a harmful or mindlessly snobby term, though it can be used that way.

    LROT, lol. People have been trying to get as many rides in before they close the queue / last lap since the beginning of coasters. Sometimes you end up on the last, sometimes you miss the last (on occasion you get the 'one more ride'). Today's generation has to have slang and acronyms for everything and think they invented everything... I was 'LROT' (well, more laps > just the last ride) decades ago, all 'enthusiasts' were!
