I figured I would start this here, as they are rumors, however if it seems to fit better somewhere else, Mods, move this thread somewhere else.
Anyways, I thought it could be fun to discuss and share some of the cazy rumors that we have heard from park employees or anyone else who thinks a little too highly of themselves. Having been a team member at BGW for 6 seasons during High School and College, I heard a lot of crazy stuff that was just bonkers. One of those was that if Mach Tower ever broke while in the air, the fire department would have to setup a zip line from the tower to the Festhaus to get people off the ride. Obviously this is false, as when the ride stops mid air, they can manually release the seats to fall back down. If that fails, they would get a crane and lift basket to get people off. I have seen them do this, though not with guests, but with maintenance workers who got stuck during morning checks back in 2012.
