I've just remembered this. It happened a few years ago when I was ion town visiting my dad's family for about a week one summer. We all (all being me, my sister, my cousin, and some of his friends, plus various parental figures) decided to visit Six Flags. At one point most of the party decided to go on one of those roller coasters that goes through a loop or two. I couldn't work up the nerve, and my cousin was kind enough to sit with me and wait for the others to get done.
While waiting on a bench near the exit, we overheard a conversation. The following is a rough approximation.
RCM: Roller Coaster Moron
HPF: His Patient Friends
RCM: "I didn't expect it to go upside down, they need to have a sign warning people that it goes upside down, people could have a heart attack or something!"
HPF: "Dude, there's a big loop right in the middle of the track!"
RCM: "I thought it was for display!"
HPF: "Why would they do that?"
RCM: "I don't know! To look good?! I thought it was for display. They need to have a sign warning people about the loop."
HPF: "You didn't notice the cars going over the loop or the people screaming?"
RCM: "They ought to have a sign!!"
HPF: "Dude, you're an idiot."
