During my last trip to KI I was exiting Diamondback and a few people were using the gate to bypass the shop. Someone apparently took great offense to this and called one guy a cheater. He replied with "They should lock it then" 

The offended guy said that he probably cheats on his relationships too. Without missing a beat the "cheater's" wife/girlfriend responded with "How do you think we met!?" 

The offended guys wife/girlfriend starts laughing really hard and he is now quiet. 

I thought the whole thing was hilarious.

  Saturday at Coasterstock, while in line for DB I again heard the same old rumor.  Young lady behind us in line, " We need to go get a last ride on Vortex, they're tearing it down after this season, because it's sinking" .

While checking restraints on Vortex earlier tonight, one rider asked "Is this the ride with the shed?" (referring to Mysty's shed)

I didn't quite expect to be asked that, as I was wondered how this question had come to be as I politely answered saying that Mystic Timbers is the ride with The Shed.

People who ask stuff like that just try to catch ride operators off guard and make them smile. I've often asked stupid stuff to the ride ops and/or given answers to those questions before to have guests tell me I'm just messing with ya.

Or maybe she thought of the other Arrow coaster

Before my fireworks ride on WindSeeker got underway, the gentleman next to whom I was seated claimed that when the original Bat was there (where Vortex is), 14 people were killed when two trains crashed into each other and the third flew off the track. I found it to be barely believable and he said "Go look it up on Google; it's there."

So I searched about it on Google, and I found...it's just a rumor and the original Bat had no injuries or fatalities in its three-four seasons of operation. Go search for yourself if you wish. :)  

It was crazy that he thought that the original Bat closed because of this rumor. But no, it was closed because of maintenance/design issues!!!!

Also, several riders on Vortex were telling me it was haunted. Yes, Kings Island is haunted, but Vortex particularly isn't...

There are quite a few threads around here about it!

I've been reading up! ;)  Some stories I've heard for years, while others I've seen new info on through the forums here.  I thought maybe @VortexBFForever had a personal experience to share.

I have not (yet) seen any of the ghosts/spirits that are known to lurk at Kings Island, but if I ever have such an experience I will post about it.

Haunt will be here before you know it

Today in the FoF queue, a guest said something about the "poo fog" everyone around laughed and I'm pretty sure the ride ops did too. I've noticed these clouds far too many times.

While in line for Mystic Timbers, someone behind me claimed that Top Gun was torn down and replaced with Mystic Timbers. I wanted to tell her that Top Gun is still very much in operation but now know as The Bat, but I just thought nah.
