Setting the record straight immediately by expressing the fact I hate the word \u201cIck\u201d but let\u2019s try & be part of the cool kids for one blog. So, I thought I\u2019d sit and share a few of those some of which won\u2019t be directly from a theme park but will be associated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please don\u2019t take any of these things to heart. They are just little things that make me cringe and it\u2019s a light-hearted blog post for us all to enjoy!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cRollercoaster\u201d Song Lyrics:<\/span><\/h3>\n

I just can\u2019t with this one. There\u2019s nothing worst than when you are with someone and the word \u201crollercoaster\u201d gets sung off in a song & they give you THAT stare. Please, don\u2019t. I forbid to sing those lyrics in a song it makes me feel repulsed.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Over Exaggerated Stories:<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cOne time I was riding x, y & z and it had 20 inversions, at 300mph and reached heights of 500ft\u201d. Okay, hun. Anything over-dramatised leaves me rolling my eyes and cringing.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Commentating A Layout Of A Ride:<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you are that person who continually yells Helix whilst going through a Helix, you ain\u2019t for me. It\u2019s like nobody needs to know the whole layout of this coaster whilst riding thank you. The acceptance of this kind of behaviour is a documentary-related situation. If you’re having a leisurely ride on a rollercoaster then what are you achieving? It\u2019s just irritating.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Confidently Sharing Untrue Facts Whilst Queueing \/ Trying To Impress:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Ever stood in a queue and overheard some people behind or in front of you sharing an untrue story that\u2019s not even rational? Yeah, it happens a lot and I\u2019m sure many enthusiasts can vouch for that. I\u2019m sure someone once mentioned they rode Stealth at Alton Towers and it went upside down multiple times. Some of the things you hear are absurd but goodness me it\u2019s vile to listen to.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Over The Top Screaming:<\/span><\/h3>\n

I\u2019m here for screaming when you get scared. But if you\u2019ve JUST got to the lift hill of the coaster, why are you screeching like are you heading down the drop? It\u2019s the worst when you can hear that person who\u2019s purposely screaming to show off. Nightmare. Oh, if you are that person to then refer to them as \u201cscreamers\u201d whilst giggling.. also a massive ick.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

There are some of the icky things I have found whilst visiting theme parks. What are yours? Please, don’t be too offended by this either!<\/span><\/p>\n
