Guest Department47 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 http://www.nytimes.com/1983/05/15/us/death-at-graduation-party.html Obviously a lot more to it than that. He was intoxicated (despite being underage), had entered a restricted area of the tower, and allegedly tried jumping onto an elevator car. His body was found on top of one. 3
fanofFirehawk Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Google is also your friend. or bing or yahoo

BavarianBeatle Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I'm amazed that we are almost a full month into 2013 and this is the first "Tower Johnny" thread of the year! 7
RadioRiders Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Being in the park when its closed feels eerie already ,does make you wonder when you look up the tower if someone is staring right back .
Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 When the webcam is up and running, someone is. (and, sometimes, maybe more than just one...) [cue eerie Theremin music] 1
HTCO Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 http://www.nytimes.com/1983/05/15/us/death-at-graduation-party.html Obviously a lot more to it than that. He was intoxicated (despite being underage), had entered a restricted area of the tower, and allegedly tried jumping onto an elevator car. His body was found on top of one. Well... half of his body.
Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 At least it seems he contemplated jumping onto the car. The counterweight is not your friend. 1
Maglados Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 That's sad that has happened but it's nobody's fault but only the person who chose to enter a restricted area, Also I don't think I would let my friends or even family roam a park drunk. Luckily King's Island is very concerned about the safety of their visitors and none of this is their fault. But on the ghost note: I am rarely at Kings Island because I live all the way In central Kentucky, But in 8th grade( Band trip) and a other countless time I was at the park when it was dark. Yeah, it's kinda creepy I mean you have all the roller coasters and rides making noise but I get a werid vibe in Rivertown ever time it get's dark. It could of just been where it's near the water ( White Water canyon). I just get a weird unnatural feeling that there was something there other then people. That's just me tho It could been from where I was riding rides all darn day . By the way, do they operate or run the White Water Canyon at night?
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Ride WWC or The Beast at night and get ready for an eerie, yet exciting, ride. 3
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 When we used to walk around the park at 3 or 4 am while working the night shift, we did not run into any undead ghosts but instead would see the various ferrel cats or the occasional skunks or raccoons. 2
Jr for Birdy Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Im still waiting for a certain post,I know its coming......
BB1 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Well, I'm not fraid of no ghost In all honesty I don't believe in ghosts, but things like demons I do think they exist. Alas, I still watch Ghost Adventures and Ghost Hunters occasionally.
Maglados Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Ride WWC or The Beast at night and get ready for an eerie, yet exciting, ride. I heard about The Beast at night being scary at night. I can only image walking out in the woods at night to get to WWC. I got to do it now. 1

Well, I would greatly appreciate that image that you are imaging, I can only imagine, or am I imagining?
smalls Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 When i search Tower Johnny i either get sites saying i have cancer and the rest saying yes and no Tower johnny exists. I also asked Kings Island on facebook and they said no as well as ride op (gulliable me)
smalls Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 Also when i asked if Tower Johnny exist i asked i ment the jumper not ghost as well
Jasper Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Coming from someone who half believes in ghosts but fully believes there is something out there, I have never been the least creeped out by the Island at night. I guess for some reason it's only dark for about an hour your in the park anyways and I am usually with friends who are talking and chatting away so I have never really got the chance to notice. 2
The Interpreter Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 You should be in the park at night. After closing. With only a very few employees. Eerie is right. Cedar Point? That's Erie. 5
Jr for Birdy Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I have been much more spooked at CP at night!
malem Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 You should be in the park at night. After closing. With only a very few employees. Eerie is right. Cedar Point? That's Erie. I have been much more spooked at CP at night! At Cedar Point after closing, a pickup truck followed me up the midway. Several times, after pulling as near to me as it could, it blew its horn to startle me. (I was not in the truck's way, and my confused gestures back were ignored.) This is what I get for being parked in the Soak City lot after staying past 11:00pm for ERT to end. (This was the first time they offered the weekly ERT, so not many people knew about it. The park was absolutely dead.) 3
The Interpreter Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I suspect its driver blew the horn. If IT did, that IS spooky. Terp, who can be quite the literalist 3
malem Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I suspect its driver blew the horn. I chose the metonymy because: The truck's high-beams were on, so I couldn't see the driver. "It" sounds better than "he or she". You're right; it's spookier, fitting this specific thread better. (see also Christine) I suspect that the employee inside was having a great time watching my reactions. 3
packers7871 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 The Beast is the best during the haunt at 1AM with fog setteling in makes you wonder whats out there watching you!!!
TTD-120-420 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I've been in both Cedar Point and Kings Island well after closing time. I've never found them spooky. I thought it was kind of nice. 1
Jr for Birdy Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Im just going to laugh now,and post later!
