HarvestmanMan Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 2Trim brake: a brake usually found in the middle of a ride designed to "trim" speed in order to save money on maintenance and lives. Fixed it for you… Save money on lives? That's plain unethical. 4
sheikra_rocks Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 "A Hypercoaster1 designed and sold by Bolliger & Mabillard that does not feature a trim brake2". --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1Hypercoaster: Complete-circuit roller coaster at least 200 feet tall and less than 300 feet tall that lacks inverting elements. 2Trim brake: a brake usually found in the middle of a ride designed to "trim" speed in order to save money on maintenance. (I had a little fun with it, ) Well, Hollywood Dream:The Ride is only 144ft and Leviathan is 306ft, but they are categorized by B&M as "hypercoasters". Funny rumor? KI swapping WindSeekers with Knotts.
The Interpreter Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 The funniest rumor I've heard- Flight Deck is really The Bat with a newer paint job and new trains. Everything old is new again. 1
kingsislandfan1972 Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 A few years back some guy was talking to his friend while in line for Flight of Fear said “I hear they are putting an Arcade on the top of the Eiffel Tower!” ..... 1
OLFOF96 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Havnt you ever rode WindSeeker and felt like something was missing? Does it ever feel like you need more of a thrill? Well, wait no more because new for 2020 WindSeeker 2! Built on the site of action theatre WindSeeker 2 will offer an experience identical to WindSeeker 1 but now they will race! Cheer on your team to see who can be the first to the top! 1

FUN&ONLY! Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 I have heard people complain about Mystic Timbers being too short of a ride and that Kings Island will be getting a roller coaster that is like Kingda Ka as it is the best roller coaster in existence They said it not me LOL 1 3

Here's one: The Adventure Express was so rough one day, that an old lady didn't buckle her seatbelt and she fell out in the woods, and they found her 5 years later huddled in a makeshift hideout in the SoB's support structure. Adventure Express is going to be rmc'd and have a 100ft lift hill and 95 foot drop xD 2
presto123 Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 Big one back in the day was that somebody was decapitated on The Bat(old Bat where Vortex is at). I'm sure most of you have heard this one. I was fortunate enough to ride it before it was closed.

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 The funniest one I've heard was over the summer when someone said "Move Banshee to Valleyfair and put an RMC SOB where the original SOB occupied." I just would laugh when I saw it!
nicescoot Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 A family member asked me the other day "Is it true that Diamondback is being torn down?" 1

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 ^^And he also gets blasted on this one Facebook group. 1
Benjamin22 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Nothing better then watching a Banshee POV and scrolling through the comments to see a certain individual post at least 10 comments on why Banshee is the worst rollercoaster ever built and why it should have been an RMC.
diamondbackfanatic Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 While waiting in line for Diamondback, I heard a guest say that the wind seekers lost one of it's "seats" while in mid flight and it flew off and hit the Eiffel Tower. The idea of this happening is not funny. But it cracked me up to think that a human being would honestly think the park would keep operating it if this happened. how crazy?!?
Theoutdoorkid107 Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Their are simply to many to talk about in one go. The funniest/ down right dumbest rumor I’ve heard was someone in front of me in the line for Slaughterhouse And they were like “they use real bodies in here”. This was followed by a facepalm on my part. 1
