italianchef Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 If it's about Kings Island, then, "Vortex is sinking." That's the funniest KI rumor I ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Ive heard that they are putting SOB's loop on Vortex. LOL, I was standing in line for Delirium once and I heard someone mention that once all the restraint systems gave out and everyone fell out of the ride and died. I just stared at the kid for 20 seconds and when he looked over I just shook my head.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkifreakhogg Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Ya i have also heard The Vortex sinking rumor way to many times. And the guy who said that a deer is gonna hit him on SOB is just retarded. Last year i did see about 4 deer standing right beside the track though while riding. They were standing right near the track right after the final helix. I have been in line for both Beast and SOB and have heard people say that on The Beast people have had there hands chopped off going into the final tunnel run and on SOB that when they had there little accident people had been killed. Some people just have no clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I do think some people saying such things are just trying to scare the guests with them, and know very well that what they are saying is simply not true. The funniest such instance I ever saw at Kings Island was the exact reverse, I am nearly certain. A young boy, perhaps 11, was telling his dad Son of Beast had a loop in it (this was five or six years ago). The father was about to spank him for lying when about six different guests all said to the father at the same time, "Hey, look over there!" Did his face ever turn red! And the boy was delighted. Seems father KNEW wooden coasters don't have loops! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacksonPKI Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Ive heard that they are putting SOB's loop on Vortex. Don't START! I heard from a kid in line for SoB that they were moving Mean Streak down here and calling it the Uncle of Beast? I also heared that TTD was coming down here and going where the FX Theatre is once.

vortexfan Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I heard this between a parent and a ride-op while waiting for Avatar: Ride Op: "I swear to gawd this ride reached the top and almost FLEW OFF THE TRACKS yesterday!1!!!"

JacksonPKI Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 ^ Funny how gulabile people can be. When I was in line for Firehawk, one kid was going around saying that a kid fell out of it 2 years ago, and Kings Island closed the ride afterwards.

RWildman424 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I was told that The Beast was the fastest roller coaster in the park. I asked him how it can be faster than SOB when SOB is taller. He then tried to tell me that SOB was MUCH shorter than The Beast. He went on about how the woods make it feel shorter. I just chuckled and walked away. Edit: and of course the fact that my friend's sister's ex boyfriend saw someone fall off Vortex right after the MCBR. Ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacksonPKI Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Don't You just HATE it when people who know absolutely nothing talk and act like they know everything? Someone once told me that top gun is the oldest ride in the park, and the "rust" is just paint to make sure people know it's old. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomkatt7 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 This is one of my favorites. Kings Island owns SOOOO much land, that they are going to expand the park. In 5 years The Beast will be the center of the park, instead of in the back. The best part of this one is, I've heard it for 20 years. and it's always "In 5 Years....."

JacksonPKI Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 ^Classic! 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.

TOPGUN1993 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I've always been told the reason King Cobra was removed was due to .... A wheel on the last car fell off causing the car of 4 people to fall off killing all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_junky Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 i am not sure if this is a rumor but since i have never read anything about it i'm guessing that it is. one day soon after ttd was opened they were running test runs over and over to see if it was running properly and it did and when they opened it up to the public that day the first train sent out got up to the top of the top hat and the train split and the first three cars made it over then the last two cars and the fake engine rolled backwards down the top hat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wheel on the last car fell off causing the car of 4 people to fall off killing all of them. But at least that one has a bit of truth to it. I remember someone posting an old picture of a newspaper clipping, about King Cobra having the last car derailed in the helix. But no one died. I also want to say it was opening year for it too.
