People OUTSIDE KI Say The Darnedest Things

[DropZone99]

Today in Biology we filled out this paper asking about our hobbies and interests. I said I'm obsessed with roller coasters, and the teacher read it than started telling stories. He said that he was on "The Millennium" and he looked to his left and saw a "loopty loop ride fall apart." First of all, It's Millennium Force. Second, on the lift if you look left you'll see Perimeter Road and Sandusky Bay, not any rides. And I have no idea what "loopty loop ride" is supposed to be, a coaster maybe? Whatever it was, it didn't fall apart.

Than this guy next to me said loudly to the class "If any of you are scared of heights than go to Kings Island and ride "The Lora Croft" it's super tall." First of all, It's Crypt now, and when it was related to Lara Croft it was called Tomb Raider: The Ride not The Lora Croft. And Crypt isn't even tall, about 70ft. or so I believe. Than this same guy claimed that "The Drag Racer" at Cedar Point is now closed for good cause of a tragic incident two summers ago. Where do they think of this!?

[IndyGuy4KI]

Where do they think of this!?

That is what I want to know as well. Probably some relative trying to scare them and they take it as fact? That is the best thing that I can come up with.

[IndyGuy4KI]

I had a grandmother that takes her grand kids to the park and rides with them ask me if DB was an out and back coaster!

I was so impressed I gave her a hug!

My aunt flipped out on me (in disbelief), when I told here that ki no longer has the antique cars.

[Mr. Coastermania]

I remember someone asking me if ive been to univeral studios in mason.I think they filmed the brady bunch there.OOook.If you say so.

Rotag, I am proud of you. Your gramor has gotten a lot better!

This coming from a guy who can't spell grammor.

And also, where have I been?

They got part of it right, at least.

[CedarPointer]

A teacher asked me if I had gone to Paramount lately. I said no.

[Sergeant Pepper]

Somebody told me that in 2006 Son of Beast's lift hill collapsed completely!

[IslandAddict]

There was that one Youtube video saying that Diamondback was sinking, so they were changing the name. First off, if its sinking, why would they only change the name. Second, how would it be sinking? Its only less than a year old. Finally, he said he had "proof" which said something like "2010DB" or something stupid like that.

I'm sorry but that just annoyed me so much.

EDIT: Oops. Missed the audio in the video. The Reptile Cage? REALLY? REALLY....? Wow.

Reptile Cage, lock yourself in! At least it's more creative than the names or slogans Cedar Fair gives it's rides! As Terpy said in an earlier post, I can't find...

// I think they should rename Drop Tower, Egg Drop.

That did happen during construction in 1999. Well, partway.

[Sergeant Pepper]

Well yeah, I knew that, didn't that kill a few workers? (off-topic)

[THE_BEASTmaster]

No, the collapse happened during a storm overnight. The workers were off work by that time.

I think you still mispelled grammer.

At School a few days ago:

Kid: You know Diamondback was supposed to have loops in it.

Me: Uh, no it wasn't

Kid: Yea, it was. You can see it in the model at the park.

Me: First, the model was sold last year, it is no longer at Kings Island. Second, the model was built as a very accurate representation of the ride, which, doesn't have any loops.

Kid, realizing he's dealing with someone who actually has an IQ over 100: Well, my dad works with the people who made Diamondback, and he said it was going to have a loop.

Me: Really? Where does he work?

Kid: ......New York(?)......

Me: Nope. Diamondback was designed by Bolliger and Mabillard in Mothey, Switzerland.

At that point the kid just kinda, gave up.

Actually it was only the helix that collapsed....

[thebeastisawsume]

well this dude in my english class thinks that diamoundbacks hammerhead turn is a loop I was like no its no and hes like yah it is I was like wow!

[Diamondback FOF]

Are you sure about that? I thought I had read it was the lift hill (part of it), but I can't seem to find a news story about a collapse.

[gigacoaster2k]

While on the Cedar Point/Lake Erie Railroad yesterday in the station in Frontier Trail, I overheard two employees joking about something about relish and ketchup.. and they were looking at Mean Streak. My curiosity got the best of me and I turned around and I had to ask them what the heck they were talking about.

The reply I got was:

"The trains are red, yellow and green.. ketchup, mustard, and relish! "

[CedarPointer]

I don't see a news story about SoB's collapse, but I also don't see a news story about the death during the construction of Flight of Fear...

[The Interpreter]

One must remember that back then the Internets were not the factor they are today. And things that happened happened, regardless of whether they are or are not documented on the web.

[Diamondback FOF]

So, was it part of Son of Beast's lift hill that got blown over during construction? Or was it part of the helix?

I can already hear the answer.

[The Interpreter]

I'll be honest with you. I remember the collapse. I remember the news stories. I want to say it was part of the lift hill. Am I 100 percent certain? No. But part of the structure did collapse...and I don't remember it being the helix.

[Sergeant Pepper]

This is Confusing !

[Diamondback FOF]

^^Thanks. I had remembered reading seeing a stroy about in on WLWT's website a few months ago, but I guess it ended up getting deleted. I was hoping to find it. I also thought you'd said the lift hill before, but I'm not sure either. Oh well.

DOH!!!!!!!!!! LOL! Thanks for catching that for me. I think Skaterboy and I both need to learn to spell right.

[The Interpreter]

Right is spelled r-i-g-h-t.

Terpy, trying to help...

[Scooby_Doo]

I remember back in 2002 when Tomb Raider:The Ride Opened some guy told me as I was leaving that TRTR was a coaster and went into four loops!

I also remember back when Scooby-Doo and The Haunted Castle Opened in 2003 ..my friends and I were in front of these two ''hilljacks'' and as we were coming off the ride they were mad because they didn't win any ''money'' or ''prizes'' for ''winning'' SDATHC. ...Stupid!
