A Video Claiming to Show a Ride Car Flying Off the Tracks at Cedar Point’s Millennium Force Has Gone Viral, With Millions of Panicked Shares.

A video claiming to show a ride car flying off the tracks at Cedar Point’s Millennium Force has gone viral, with millions of panicked shares.

The clip—filmed from a phone by an alleged “new hire”—appears to show a train violently twist sideways at the earth-shattering drop. The caption reads, “They won’t tell you what happened today. Woke up to 20 missed calls from my foreman saying ‘Do not go to work.’”

REAL OR FAKE?

FAKE. A forensic breakdown reveals the video is a deepfake spliced from an old 2019 POV ride film with a CGI track failure and AI-generated audio of screaming and metal screeching. Cedar Point officials confirm the coaster never suspended operations and that the video is a “dangerous hoax.” No missing employees or accidents exist in any records. The user who posted the video has since deleted their account.
