Favorite Amusement Park Legends

I've heard that PKI's King Cobra was torn down because someone died on it.

Same for LeSourdesville Lake's Screechin' Eagle - that a train came off the tracks and that's why the park is closed.

The interesting things you hear in queue lines during the summer.

X Factor

Taht CP handcuff one is funny. I could picture someone doing that!! Thats funny!

Back in the 70's, people at Geauga Lake used to always tell the story about the Big Dipper flying off the tracks and going into the lake from the far turnaround. I can still remember the day the train valleyed on it's first run and we sent some little kids out to look for it. They had come up on the platform to ask why we weren't open yet. We replied with very concerned looks on our faces that we had sent the train out 10 minutes ago and it hasn't come back yet.

There was also a story about the Big Dipper being originally built at a height of 80ft. A severe storm/tornado in the late 1920's caused the lifthill to fall over and it was rebuilt at it's current height of 65ft.

.......and the cow jumped over the moon!!!

Wood - anything else is just an imitation

I always liked the one about Demon Drop having a blowout and a car flying off the end into the parking lot.

giant drop's brakes failing, and all the people died
