I'm surprised no ones mentioned the most notorious of theme park fanboys, Cedar Point and Alton Towers fanboys are nothing compared.
Obviously I'm talking about the Gulliver's Matlock Bath fanboys. I **** hate them, with their food-stained Gulliver's gooniform and laminated annual passes.
You can barely get five feet beyond the entrance of the park before one of the fanboys jumps out of a nearby bush to record your presence in their visitor numbers log book, before trying to have a picture taken with you. Sometimes they make that strange howling noise, and all the other fanboys jump out of other nearby shrubbery and congregate around you taking pictures and making strange noises. Last time I had to fight my way through them, using one of the machetes supplied by the park staff.
And don't even get me started on the Gulliver's Matlock Bath fan forum (GMBfans), which I'm sure many of you have tried to use to find news on the park, only to be banned by the admins for suggesting Boulder Dash is a better coaster than Switchback. **** Switchback. They treat it like a God, I remember seeing them knelt down worshiping it in the queue line and rubbing the supports - I had to climb over twelve men just to get on the damn ride. There's been countless arrests near the coaster, due to the fanboys having an urge to expose themselves to the steel track.
Its the kids born into it I feel sorry for, forced to wear the ceremonial Gulliver's gooniform and dance around the Log Roller Coaster as the sun sets. It alienates them from the real world, and teaches them to discriminate against all other parks. Its cruelty, by the age of 5 they've ridden the Log Flume against their will over 1000 times, and are hanging around the Alton Towers entrance attacking guests for not visiting Gulliver's.
There's no point going on about them, I'm sure you know what I mean as they are obviously very notorious within the coaster community. They just need to learn that the park is not as sacred as they think it is, and there are many other parks that are much better. No point explaining that to them though, they'll just start shouting non-sensical crap about Switchback's incredible airtime or the amazing theming of the Lilliput Woods area. I can barely understand what they're saying anyway, as there mouths are usually stuffed full of Chef Gully's spaghetti bolognese - hence the bolognese stains all down their fronts.
I **** hate the Gulliver's Matlock Bath fanboys.

I guess because they are probably the two most well known parks in the UK with a fair amount of history, people do view them through rose tinted specs. What I can't stand is the sheer unwillingness for them to see anything negative. It's almost like they're scared Nick Varney or Amanda Thompson will curse them or something.
Gavin raises a good point about CF's (what I'm going to call) multi cultural fanboyism. In years gone by, CF had a very hardcore Thorpe Park fanboy following. To some extent it still exists as Thorpe topics, particularly one about coasters, tend to be very popular. I've noticed over the years, a wider range of parks are covered but actual fanboyism has moved from parks to manufacturers and ride types. I think most people explode with militant filled joy when a new RMC, Mack Mega or B&M Hyper/Giga is announced. I think that's fab. It means people are not narrowly looking at one park but are wiling to explore new ones and go somewhere other than Chertsey.

I made the mistake of suggesting PMBO could be with some work, possibly by Morgan, and that the Grand National was getting painfully rough, to the point of being unrideable, and also needed work, maybe by RMC. From the reaction I got you'd think I'd insulted their mum.

LMAO! That group started off with such promise, constantly updating with photos of older and past rides.... Now it's just a bitchfest that I love to just troll. The main poster there just pulls every photo he can from RCDB and thinks that's adding "content".... Also, that group has a love affair with Hersheypark Comet..... Whenever they play a guess the coaster or name a coaster game.... Comet always comes up, pretty much first. ( to the point where me and my friend Freddie, constantly post that every single coaster is Comet on that group)

Europa Park from my experience.
Some pretend they are coaster fans but never heard of Expedition GeForce or anything other than Disney and EP.

Cedar Point's fan boys are by far the worst. A park filled to the brim with mediocrity praised out the arse. Most fanboys haven't even strayed as far to Kings Island to see how much more enjoyable the place is, or to Waldameer to experience a more relaxed and classic experience.
Cedar Point makes me irrationally angry, as many of you already know from my Valravn rant. So it's only natural it's fans would piss me off. There's no reasoning with them. With Maverick acting as the only example of quality there, it's hard to explain why so much of CP is critically lacking when it's fans haven't been anywhere **** else.

Overhere in Belgium, the ones from Plopsa and Bobbejaanland are by far the worst imo.
Plopsa fanboys are like; "everything Plopsa does is gold and deserves worldwide appreciation", even when they open yet another merry-go-round. They are also pretty difficult to have discussions with, as they can't bare any negative or critical comments on the park. Same goes for Bobbejaanland fanboys.
For the Walibi fanboys...it depends. Some of them are the same as the Plopsa or Bobbejaanland fanboys. There is also this Walibi fanclub that can be find in the park on almost a daily base and walk around with a camera the whole time. Even taking pictures from dustbins or even flowers they haven't seen their previous visit. They also mix into conversations between regular guests, boasting with their knowledge about rides and the parks history. Funny thing is that -when they talk about the parks history - they are wrong 80% of the time.

I think this topic should take another route and discuss what are the worst fanboys by country.
In Spain, PA fanboys can be a bit of a pain in the ass. Most of them haven't even visited parks outside of Spain yet they feel that their park is up to the best standards. Well, no.
Out of the other big Spanish parks, I find the arguments people use to defend a dying park like Terra Mítica ridiculous. Llike, the place is a **** dump.
