Browntggrr Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I heard someone make a claim the president of a local company gave them inside/ sensitive information minutes after their first ever meeting. This information came just days after a local media source had an actual quote from a high ranking park official that: "no decision has been made." EDIT: This has made Screamscape, only reinforcing that the claim is crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaitlinfree Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 i heard about The Vortex sinking rumor. someone also said that WindSeeker was stuck at about 200 feet up for two hours. also heard people died on Son of Beast when the loop was still there. OH the other day someone at the park told me that they were putting a coaster bigger than Kingda Ka in place of SOB. that will seriously never happen. it would be hella' expensive.

TTD-120-420 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 WindSeeker was stuck at the top earlier this week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogrmac Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 WindSeeker was stuck at the top earlier this week... It was. Monday afternoon, shortly before 3pm. I was standing by Vortex's exit waiting on my husband and kids. They loaded WindSeeker, it went up, the music stopped and a ride op got on the loudspeaker and said "We are experiencing technical difficulties." etc. I looked up, and it was stopped at the top. It was about 30 minutes before they slowly descended to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 That happened at CP too, "(6/4/12) On Saturday morning the riders on WindSeeker at The Point got a little more of a ride than they were expecting shortly after 9am when the ride came to a stop while only about half-way down the tower. The riders were then stuck on the ride for about 2 hours until they could lower it back to the ground. " I know, I know Screamscape.... But this is true.....

A.S.Coasters Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 ^There's actually a thread or some sort of discussion about that here so I'm sure we all know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Yes, Cedar Point's was stuck for about an hour and a half last week. A few days later, KI's did the same thing. Cedar Point's incident, however, was more serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 And this, like the recent incident on Stinger, will most likely be seen by the GP as "This ride is unsafe!" when in reality, it's an instance of, "The ride computer detected a malfunction, and activated the proper safety features until a repair could be made to ensure that no guest would be harmed."

SonofBaconator Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Vortex is sinking. Racer is going to get demolished. King Cobra still lies in Flight of Fear. Kings Island is Cedar Fair's "Guinea Pig Park". There is a Red steam train. Someone died on The Bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I can see why people may think that King Cobra is still in Flight of Fear. I mean, at one time it was, and the only reason we really know it isn't anymore is because the trains were spotted at Kings Dominion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
