I heard this on the monorail.
'Do Alton Towers own the rides or do they just rent them??'
Clearly this chav thought it was like a travelling fair or something.....lucky he caught it as it was passing through his neck of the woods.....heaven forbid they had to return the rides before he got on them.

I heard this person say: 'Alton Towers don't have any rides with big drops'

Standing in the air queue at scarefest this year, one girl says to another girl
" I don't think your legs get strapped in on this ride you know??"
I imagine it would be an uncomfortable ride if your legs were not lol

As the airgates opened for Oblivion at Scarefest, my 20th ride on it that day, a respectable looking old man with a small granddaughter exclaimed "I've laid an egg in my pants and i can't do it, can you go on your own?"
To which the reply was of course a no. Even though the man enjoyed it, I still had a little laugh.

Not in a q, or even in the park for that matter, but at the Trafford Centre yesterday I heard someone say their favourite ride at "the beach Blackpool" was "The Nemesis one". :P
The guy who said it was in a Man United shirt, so I guess that explains a lot.

It's not easy to walk up to a stranger and kindly correct them, either :P
An understandable mistake, as most people can't tell the difference between a SLC and B&M inverted coaster.

Whilst in the queue-line for TH13TEEN:After Dark during Scarefest this year, a girl turned around and said my name was Andrew, which is surprisingly correct. I was confused as my friend nor I had used my name anywhere near her so I presumed she was a child of a wraith or psychic.
not in a queue line but before my first trip to alton i was talking to my mum about the park and she said
"i wanna go on the big dipper when we're there" *faceplam*

Well, not what I overheard somebody say, but my friend, an alton towers virgin and "the gullible one",we managed to convince him people had died on Th13teen while in the queue
gullible friend: "okay so what actually happens?"
me:"well, first a list of all the people who have died on it comes up..."
gullible friend:"what?!"
me:"yeah, and remember to duck when the blade comes down."
gullible freind"theres blades?"
me:yep. And when the light goes orange, pull the brake as hard as you can! otherwise you hit the wall in the crypt."
gullible friend:" seriously???"
me:"would I lie to you?"
He never did pull the brakes...
