SonofBaconator Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 This year I've heard multiple rumors about Kings Island as well as the other Cedar Fair Parks. For example, when KD showed their space shuttle teaser on facebook, people left their comments saying things about Planet Snoopy. I'm curious as to how people come up with these assumptions. My question is, just like the topic title, how do rumors get started? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 A lot of the times it's employees that think they know it all tell someone in the park about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 A certain kind of employee usually to be specific, a Dippin Dots guy. Also by random people just saying random things about a park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Some rumors just catch on by word of mouth. "Someone died on The Bat", "Vortex is sinking", and, most recently, "A test dummy flew out of WindSeeker during testing." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohiocolts Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 According to a friend at school, who heard this from a "worker", in 2014, KI is making The Beast Unlimited, combing the best elements of both The Beast and Son of Beast. I tell him I can't believe him, and that most workers don't even know about the parks future. Of course, he still believes The Beast Unlimited will come in 2014.

TombRaiderFTW Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I've noticed that several rumors start as enthusiast speculation that is taken as fact. Take a look at old posts on sites like PointBuzz, and you'll see that Maverick was all but confirmed as an Intamin Aquatrax back in 2006. Also, did you guys hear they're going to extend Flight Deck and give it floorless Vekoma trains? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 They are moving Millennium Force to Kings Dominion. Kings Dominion really needs a giga coaster! It's a shame they don't. :/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
