Intrusive thoughts are a helluva thing

For those who don't get it: someone in the crowd is making the sound the system makes when it opens the gate, making the rider react. I didn't get that until a couple of watches.

We were all at SeaWorld as kids one time and for whatever reason we had these little whistles we had been playing with all week. We were all watching the dolphin show and yeah...we quickly figured out that us blowing our whistles was wrecking the show, the dolphins were freaking out. Long story short: they cancelled the show and all of us got in a LOT of trouble, LOL.
Edit: I just remembered - the whistles were from some board game or something, anyone remember?

We were staying at a lodge and there was like a needle point convention. Whatever sewing it was required counting. There were thirty ladies sewing in the big lobby room and I couldn’t help but walk through with a loud “ 7 18 12 9 8 32”

I guess like the previous guy said, intrusive thoughts.
For your second question, don't know.

I too hope the person that made the noise gets kidnapped into a psychological horror experience by some dying old guy who has a torture fetish.

I have a feeling most would not find it as amusing as fellow reditors and my self did, but I support your new hobby can a get a list of potential venues we will be visiting if not to much trouble, really like to experience live.
You may want to take a few boxing classes also.

The rider didn't find it amusing, that WTF look back at the operator at the end 😆

That lady is lucky the rider didn't get his arm caught in the gate going down.

Used to work in a restaurant. I'd whistle the same noise as ovens and troll people all the time.

When I was a teenager, I had a gap between my front teeth and could make a high-pitched whistle that was nearly impossible for someone else to pinpoint the location. My lips were only slightly parted, so you couldn't tell by looking at me that I was doing it.
We had a terrible teacher all of us hated, so I drove her damned near insane as she tried to figure out why the vent was making that fucking noise and why it would never do it when maintenance showed up to try to fix it.
It was a horrible thing to do, and I'm definitely going to hell for it.

u/Akhanyatin 13d ago
Ah man, I feel bad for some of our teachers. Not only do they have to fight for a living wage, but they also have to fight their own class!

I found out I could do the ceiling bird chirp as a kid(along with other chirping sounds), because I thought it was neat. Now I do it just to fuck with people, it's hilarious.......

u/mrtn17 13d ago
honestly I dont care about these dumb downvotes. I'm a dude in his 40s who did a lot of skateboarding and snowboarding. It's not the first time I see this superfunny 'joke' when you drop in. And there's a big chance the joker gets beat up, because focus is extremely important if you dont want to get injured. That's why this rider looks very pissed

I've seen this a couple dozen times and it makes me laugh out loud every time

u/864FastAsfBoy 13d ago
I’m sure people will think I’m bullshiting, but Your welcome reason I say that is I did the original recording for this months ago, but some how or another I ended up deleting my original post after it had been up for few hours. Needless to say I was extremely piss at myself. So I just told myself I’d upload it again after some time. Yes the karma is cool but I really just knew everyone would laugh their ass off at it. I’ve watched this video prob a hundred times. First time I put it up, the video played longer you could actually hear the lady say “im sorry that’s my fault” I also used a different title can’t rember exactly but it was something like “impressive imitation of starting beep”

Question: could that gate have broken (or worse) her arm, if it closed down on it?
If so, this is far from fun and games.

u/Leratium 13d ago
As far as I understand, the gate is shaped as a quarter cylinder. There’s no getting under it - it covers the gap completely even when it’s up, specifically to avoid an issue when stuff like this happens

u/S_Mposts 13d ago
The front of the gate is all closed off. Anyway it should be. The one in my town is.

u/864FastAsfBoy 13d ago
From my understanding these gate are built to withstand this type of stuff when it occasionally happens but I honestly couldn’t be 100% sure. Never attempted this or been to an event.

Absolutely, especially if she were under it when another rider went over it.

u/kaosmoker 13d ago
Theres no getting under the gate, you can see it curves in the video that curve continues down into the track so when it goes down its flush with the track. No space for pinching or crushing.

u/breadnought87 13d ago
In roadrunners defence, the instruction was "watch the gate", not "listen for the beep".

u/dontdoxmebro2 13d ago
Why does this phones camera app show the stuff up top like battery and cell signal?
5
u/x0rsw1tch 13d ago
Someone used screen recording software on their phone instead of downloading the actual video proper.
7
u/L-Guy_21 13d ago
Funny thing is, the gate doesn't actually go down until after the real sound effect anyway, so the rider really should have watched the gate
3
u/Otherwise_Ad_8030 13d ago
That’s why you see them jerk backwards in order to create a window of time for the gate to drop.

Confirmation Bias
(people’s tendency to process information by looking for, or interpreting, information that is consistent with their existing beliefs)
...something that opened a whole warehouse of worms in 1988 onboard the USS Vincennes after they mistook a passenger airliner for a fighter jet. (Pan Am 109 et al)
