Which 2013 Haunt Attraction Was Your Favorite?
Only made it up to Haunt once last season (as is usual for me). On that one trip, we waited in a ridiculously long line for one maze and were highly disappointed with that one maze. We got out of the maze to discover the lines had at least tripled the already ridiculous length they were when we first got in line and decided to leave early. So with that... *goes to select null vote, sees Ed Alonzo is an option* Alonzo it is!

Which coaster are you most excited for this year?
I'm not sure if it counts as a coaster, but I'm pretty sure it does; Harry Potter And The Escape From Gringotts at Universal Orlando. I won't get to ride it anytime soon as I don't yet have the pleasure of travelling past Kings Island, but this ride sounds like it should be quite the treat.

Which Kings Island Flat Ride is Your Favorite?
I, too, debated Delirium and Drop Tower before ultimately going with the former. I wonder how Banshee will affect its ride experience. From swinging into an open field to swinging towards a dive loop; should make it much more fun, I'd think.

ACE membership
No, no, no. They're saying that you can't try to claim that you are an ACE official or representative. You can say that you're a member, but don't try to claim "I'm the president of the American Coaster Enthusiasts!" or anything like that. Yeah, I figured I was reading it wrong. They sure do have a confusing way of wording it.

ACE membership
I'd have a bigger problem with section C, sub 3. It's worded kind of confusing, but it sounds like their saying you can't mention you're apart of ACE to parks or media. Really?

ERT (Early Ride Time) 2014
I was just checking out pictures of Delirium and it made me realize how badly I would like for Delirium and/or Drop Tower to also be available for ERT. Their lines can always get insane even before Banshee. I would really like to have this period to ride my two favorite flats in the park before the GP throbs towards the area. I even like these two flats better than most of the park's coasters.

After seeing where that link (404) takes me, that must not be much info at all.- Banshee Construction Progress
I think Eve is just meant to be the name of the Banshee that our new for 2014 contraption is named after. Not just the logo, not just the coaster, Eve's the Banshee that inspired the name and is portrayed in the logo. So if someone want's to call a train running the course "Eve," I think it's fine.- The Bat broken track
I realized that upon your first post. Hence why I replied saying they would do it in a way that is logical.- The Bat broken track
Welded off.....that's amazing!! Well, it was taken off in some way that is logical.- What do you want for Halloween Haunt?
I think the best location for a new maze in this area of the park is Congo Falls/Timberwolf theater. I believe CornStalkers used to be located in that vicinity, but it has since been moved. Really, that area could fit more than one maze with one closer to the midway and another going deep into the rows of Timberwolf. Perhaps it could be themed to a concert gone wrong.- The Bat broken track
This has been discussed multiple times in other threads. For reasons I'm sure others could better explain, a section of rail needed to be replaced. I think it had to do with rust. It was welded taken off, then welded back on, but has not yet been painted to match.- Banshee Countdown Timeline
Yes! Every time I see pictures or video of that event, I have never been able to see me or the two people I was with. I am happy to say I saw us multiple times in both the DB and Banshee videos. Thanks, ohiocolts!- What do you want for Halloween Haunt?
Well, no one ever said they would have to shut down all of Festhaus for a maze. How big is the stage area if they were to only have this haunt right there and perhaps the first few tables into the seating area?- Opening weekend crowds
Many schools, even public schools, are off on Good Friday.- Banshee Construction Progress
Is anybody else really bothered that they didn't include the loop (the one that is part of Eve's tail) in the sign? Not that the sign doesn't look great. It looks fantastic. I love how multi-layered it is. Just, the addition of that loop would have made it at least ten times even better, IMO.- Save Disney Steam
What is the train at KI ran on?- Banshee Construction Progress
Any further Media Day discussion should be done via E-mail or PM per this thread. Edit: Beaten by seconds.- Article about Banshee and Kings Island
No, it's the 43rd season. It is only the 42nd anniversary, but if you start with 1972 as season 1 and count seasons, its 43. Anyways, great article Diamondbacker! You did a nice job keeping it in simple terms for all of the gullible GP. You should have put in a paragraph to put all the insane rumors to rest. The only downside was having to see that ugly purple banner at the top. rcwizard13, NOT a fan of Elder.- Launches
Excellent information, TombRaiderFTW. I love the hot potato game comparison. It really helped. A+- Coasters you never got the chance to ride.
Make sure to press mute when watching this video. It'll make it a million times better.- Banshee Construction Progress
That's the new Google Maps. If you're like me and still use the old version, it is still SOB. The new maps use the exact same imagery as Earth, so it makes sense it would be updated on those ones.- Banshee Construction Progress
