what's line jumping?

xoxoxoBruce · 04-08-2010, 12:14 PM

Cutting in line.

Shawnee123 · 04-08-2010, 12:16 PM

It's a sign that was up at King's Island for years, in the queues for rides. It always made me and my buddies laugh: LINE JUMPING IS NOT A SPORT.

Cloud · 04-08-2010, 01:06 PM

ah. cutting. thank you.

Shawnee123 · 04-08-2010, 01:16 PM

Yeah, you know how they have the queues at amusement parks, with the bars that weave in and out until you get to the ride. I guess they didn't want anyone jumping over the queue bars.

We didn't care. We just hung out and flirted. Oh, to be so young again.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-08-2010, 05:14 PM

Right, lines.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-08-2010, 05:36 PM

Yeah, standing on queue, is metric.

Shawnee123 · 04-08-2010, 06:14 PM

*shrugs*

I started calling them queue lines back in HS...so I must have read it on one of their signs of 'no-no's'

Just because it seems primarily a British word doesn't mean Merkins can't use it too.

Maybe they've changed it since I was a kid: Don't you be hoppin' on over those silver bar things that separate you as you wait in this here line for that there ride.

Now don't forget, we're parked in Boo Boo 5.

(Locals know...)

Netflix calls it that.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-09-2010, 12:11 AM

There's no people in the netflix queue, just 1s and 0s.

A google image search of 'queue kings island' produced this picture of the line for Flight of Fear:
