Even if that washing machine-track existed, nobody in their right mind would allow that to count for "inversion"-records.

[NerfStrongarm]

The fact people are that dumb to think a net could catch a coaster train is downright hilarious 😂

[JoeJoyHaveLanded]

I love this. It reminds me of rumors I used to spread as a teenager in the nineties. When lines at Great Adventure were to long, my friends and I would make up rumors of people having tragic accidents on the ride we were waiting for to scare people ahead of us off the line. Now looking back it was not the right thing to do but it was effective.

[GRGeorge]

One time after I rode X2, the audio worked but the fire didn't. My friend Levi told me that the fire was removed, as it burned a train and melted a passenger.

I thought he was serious, but then I looked it up and saw that was not true. I rode it another time and it did work so I did get to experience it!

[BBall]

About the RMC Son of Beast, I did actually make one in Planet Coaster and called it "Grandson of Beast".

It's not the most original name, I know, but considering 90% of my Planet Coaster creations are named after Ratchet & Clank characters or NBA player's nicknames, it's out of my wheelhouse.

Not gonna lie, that edit to make mystic Timbers look like it has a backwards launch looks like quite fun!

[katashworth]

No matter how safe they are, being evacuated off a drop track isn’t fun. Thanks Thirteen.

[Oshamon]

As someone who’s been to Alton Towers a bunch, I’d say that the wicker man lift is the loudest in the park

[TheJFish]

Glad to see you back making videos again. The fact that you mentioned Jodie Sweetin allegedly dying on the Batman coaster at Great America is completely bonkers! I guess the person who started the rumor was probably not a fan of Full House.

[JustGettinBy]

That last rumor is hysterical. The Jodie Sweetin rumor cracks me up, too. My friend & I fell victim to a similar rumor in 9th or 10th grade. We heard that Mark-Paul Gosselaar of Saved by the Bell (at the time) died & were very sad about it. I think it took a few days to figure out it wasn't true since it was also pre-internet.

[BliXXardStorm]

I almost forgot about the roller coaster train net rumor. I can’t entirely remember, but I believe I heard this at Mäch Tower when that was still around. It’s just crazy how wild human imagination can run. 😅

[Artbyhurricanyounot]

Okay but I love the idea of an RMC version of son of beast—not a remake, but more like an homage—except call it mother of beast and just make her absolutely relentless. Runs in the family 😌

Side note, to be fair, the shed on mystic Timbers is VERY anticlimactic. I, too, would be disappointed to get a glorified brake run after all that hype!

coaster enthusiasts when cedar fair doesnt build a 45 inversion 800ft tall launched wooden coaster with a t-bar:

[IsleofPigsStudios]

The Rumor Weed can come up with some crazy stuff

[christianortiz-vl]

I once heard a rumor that Rock N Roller Coaster would get rethemed to Muppets and I was like "no way"

[hxntzz]

Fun fact: Theme Park Predictions spread half of these

[TheRealDomnator]

I remember when I first thought those nets would catch *park guests* if they fell out of the train. Absolutely wrong. I once saw a hat fall into one of those, and then I put 2 and 2 together.

[sharknadoman]

That "Batman The Ride" rumor was ridiculous but it did become real in 2008. What happened was a man lost his hat while riding the coaster. He then for some idiotic reason, hop over 2 fences to try and get it back but unfortunately he wasn't fast enough and was decapitated by the train. Was the rumor just a coincidence? Who knows!

[CatsAreKindaCool]

Rmc of SoB would be insane but thats just a stupid idea, im sure none of the rides blueprints have survived

[maddiesmiless]

how can people believe these things, honestly. and why do they start.. my personal favourite roller coaster is gatekeeper at cedar point, insanely underrated. love you theme park crazy!!
