Kings Island 2014 Discussion Thread
Looks like the train is closed for some digging.. They have a back hoe on the tracks by the Crypt building right now.

Your Banshee Experience
I think it's a dedicated gas line.. (Unless it's just going to a canister that I haven't seen yet...)

^Yeah, that made me kinda sad hopefully they turn it back on once in a while...

Giant noodle at the park this weekend
I've been waiting in line for Banshee for 20 mins and am almost to the stairs now.

Kings Island 2014 Discussion Thread
It appears they removed the FoF video cut-in where it used to show the live feed of the usually empty queue.

Diamondback Rumor
Hopefully capacity goes back up as ride ops and the GP get used to them... We don't want an actual summer of consistent stacking. Lol

Small things that need changed at Kings Island.
^Just on the other side of the fence as you exit the ride, just before the photo booth.

Delirium getting a paint job?
I see what you're saying but the image they used for the shirts is probably from a rendering they made of the original animation. In which Delirium is the same colors it was at the end of the last season. What you're seeing here is probably just the lighting effect the animation had on the ride making it appear rather bright because it's supposed to be showing the sun's reflection. I suppose that's possible, but I just rewatched the original animations and they all had a very vibrant yellow Delirium, even when the "sun" was reflecting off it. The overall paint scheme on the shirt still doesn't seem to match the scheme in the renderings though... Either way, unless they're planning on painting more this week, what we have now is what it is.

Delirium getting a paint job?
Just noticed something... On the Media Day shirts, it looks like Delirium's wheel is silver. Just like the little mid section of the arm right now. Obviously plans can change at the last minute, but the enthusiast in me has to wonder if it was originally going to just be red, blue, and silver.

The Bat flies again at Kings Island
Didn't happen to take any pics, but I can tell you that all they did between closing day and media day was paint every piece of metal down there to a dark grey. Not sure if it's the same as the supports or not. But it looks a lot better.

Your Banshee Experience
Restraints are much more comfortable than Gatekeepers had been. The vests are flexible, but taunt. They don't lock, which is good I did have one issue on my 3rd ride where all the restraints were locking in Row 5 except mine... 5-4. The B&M Rep came over and took care of it and we were off. Probably just a minor glitch. No harm, no foul. It was a great ride!

Banshee Construction Progress
I do find it interesting it's on a concrete pad though...which typically means there's a reason they spent the money to put concrete there, rather than a temporary scissor lift. So who knows. (you can just call me Miles btw )

Banshee Construction Progress
It's a scissor lift. For what, I'm not sure. I think it might be under the trim brake? So maybe for adjustments before it opens to the public. Other than that, I'm not sure.

FAST PAY GOOD IDEA BY CEDAR POINT
Any word on if something like this will be implemented this season? I've seen RFID readers at most POS terminals today.

Putz's Creamy Whip
There's so many of these little mom and pop ice cream shops scattered throughout the Midwest...I've been to many. Each unique in their own light. Many worth the trip from afar. Thanks for posting! I may just have to swing through with the fam in the next couple weeks.

Problems
Oh the joys of our employers technology...you'd think they'd be a step ahead of the game! From a techie standpoint, it makes for a lot of confusion for the end users. Job security for me, I s'pose.

Slaughterhouse 2014 CONFIRMED!
That was another reason I found it interesting.

Slaughterhouse 2014 CONFIRMED!
Speaking of haunts, any word on Madame Fatales? Looks like there's a nice dump truck or flatbed back there...

Banshee Construction Progress
That would've been the (possibly former?) Ice Scream Zone. Chicken Shack will be occupying the former Stunt Crew Grill.
-
The Bat flies again at Kings Island
The pointed roof looks like GWL to me... but I do see some sort of box or something at the top of the lift hill..
-
The Chicken Shack!
I'd assume this is replacing Stunt Crew Grill. But it also wouldn't *shock* me if they threw it into Ice Scream Zone for some reason...but then again, where would we go for our Banshee Twists?

Deer? Bugs? Grass? What about humans? Didn't this group get a behind the scenes tour back there?

What Live Shows Can We Expect In The 2014 Season?
Heard some strong rumors about what's coming to the KI Theater. Well know for sure in March. Were they good rumors, in your opinion?

I believe Dane has already implemented a script to do this. Previously discussed several pages back.
