So, Cedar Point has quite a few rules. Given that they are a theme park that attracts over a million visitors a year, that is understandable. Some of these rules deal the rides themselves. You know, who can go on what rides, etc. Now, usually you think of a marked stick to measure the minimum height for children. However, while looking through the ( Read more... )

"guests of unknowable size... so large that no one even knows how big they really are."

"guests of unprecedented size... no previous guests have ever been this large."

Okay, so in my head, the scene played out as two ride workers discussing their guests with one another. "I have never before seen a human that large. Not even a sumo wrestler" "He is of unprecedented size!" and "I never knew that a human being could have so much mass and still be functional and mobile" "She is of unimaginable size!"

"I never knew that a human being could have so much mass and still be functional and mobile" lol

here's another:

"guests of mysterious size... it's hard to tell their exact shape and mass." So they could maybe disguise their size and still get on the ride.

That actually happened to my brother-in-law on the wicked twister. It was dumb though, cuz i don't think he's that big. And it was only on one of the rides, not all of them. So instead of it actually being that he was too big, i think it was that the girl working was being lame.

They could just pass up the political correctness and just say "no fatties allowed!"

Haha. That may be... I think the primary requiremens for working there are that you are breathing and not always intoxicated.

I think 'fatties' is at the opposite end of the spectrum of Political Correctness. At that point, it's a concerted effort to try to be insulting.

My idea was to have two vertical bars, like they use to measure kids' heights. Only, you make it so that people have to pass through them without turning / twisting. "You must be THIS narrow to ride", it could say across a beam connecting both poles.
