SonofBaconator Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 This year I've heard multiple rumors about Kings Island as well as the other Cedar Fair Parks. For example, when KD showed their space shuttle teaser on facebook, people left their comments saying things about Planet Snoopy. I'm curious as to how people come up with these assumptions. My question is, just like the topic title, how do rumors get started?
jdawg1998 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 A lot of the times it's employees that think they know it all tell someone in the park about it...
BB1 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 A certain kind of employee usually to be specific, a Dippin Dots guy. Also by random people just saying random things about a park.
TheCrypt Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Some rumors just catch on by word of mouth. "Someone died on The Bat", "Vortex is sinking", and, most recently, "A test dummy flew out of WindSeeker during testing."
Original Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 It all starts... with a great imagination. 2
ohiocolts Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 According to a friend at school, who heard this from a "worker", in 2014, KI is making The Beast Unlimited, combing the best elements of both The Beast and Son of Beast. I tell him I can't believe him, and that most workers don't even know about the parks future. Of course, he still believes The Beast Unlimited will come in 2014.
flightoffear1996 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 ^ I am sure he will be disappointed. 1

LongliveKingsCobra Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I feel Adele sums them up quite well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti3t7MAwaaM OOOOOOOoooh, OooooooooOOOh. 3

Jayblazer Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I have been told the same thing about The Beast unlimited. Of course I'm way to old for school but I may work with your friends dad..lol
CoasterGeek101 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 This is how a rumor starts : Dude, Top Thrill Dragster is being moved from Cedar Point to Kings Island in 2014. There, I just started a rumor. 1
Original Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 ^^I told you guys! 2014 was our year! Im so excited! 1
Elkman Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Dude I heard we're getting TTD in 2014! Man I can't wait.
SonofBaconator Posted September 11, 2012 Author Posted September 11, 2012 Duuuhh!! Now I know what record breaking attraction is going to KD!!! I'm gonna tell all my friends that I heard it from the dipin dots guy that there gonna put TTD in Planet Snoopy!!!!
TTD-120-420 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 To be honest, I heard that exact rumor three years ago.
coasterfanatic83 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Did you know there was a fourth train for Millennium Force?

The Dippin' Dots guy and Never to forget the Flight Deck man. LOL!!! He said a new giga for 2014 cant wait!
TTD-120-420 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Are you talking about the green one that fell in Sandusky Bay? 3
CoasterGeek101 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 They are moving Millennium Force to Kings Dominion.
TombRaiderFTW Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I've noticed that several rumors start as enthusiast speculation that is taken as fact. Take a look at old posts on sites like PointBuzz, and you'll see that Maverick was all but confirmed as an Intamin Aquatrax back in 2006. Also, did you guys hear they're going to extend Flight Deck and give it floorless Vekoma trains? 1
jdawg1998 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 They are moving Millennium Force to Kings Dominion. Kings Dominion really needs a giga coaster! It's a shame they don't. :/ 3
mullimann Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 I heard they were moving the space spiral from Cedar Point to Kings Island tomorrow.
John Top Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I heard they were moving the space spiral from Cedar Point to Kings Island tomorrow. Totally! They even used the best method possible to ensure structural integrity during transport...
SonofBaconator Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 I heard they were moving the space spiral from Cedar Point to Kings Island tomorrow. Totally! They even used the best method possible to ensure structural integrity during transport... while we're talking about space spiral, why couldn't they just send it to another park?
TombRaiderFTW Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Because they just knocked it over this morning, that's why. 1
beastrider97 Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I heard they were moving the space spiral from Cedar Point to Kings Island tomorrow. Totally! They even used the best method possible to ensure structural integrity during transport... while we're talking about space spiral, why couldn't they just send it to another park? SS was a maintenance nightmare and was rarely open. The carriage was ridiculously hot, and it was in general an unpopular attraction.

It was cool to see the holder shoot up right before it crashed though
