Banshee Construction Progress
I like how they've already started landscaping around supports. The mature bushes will make it presumably harder for maintenance but it will look much cooler by the time opening day rolls around.

Kings Island memorabilia
Thanks for doing this. You've put up a lot of neat things so far and I can't wait to see anything else you've got in store.

It's Haunt Time!
^^And Fear Fest wasn't a generic name?

Activity underneath Flight Deck?
Those cars reportedly do not swing as much as the Arrow cars. Plus, why would we need those when you get the same feeling on Banshee?

Sigh is right. Somebody always brings this up every year.

Oldest Operating Ride at KI
Still, the carousel is over 100 years old. No other ride at Kings Island has ever operated for over 100 years.

Activity underneath Flight Deck?
There's no "splash zone" per se, unless you mean have visitors stand right on the track.

Oldest Operating Ride at KI
It would be the grand carousel. The Dodgems were all replaced with the refurbishment of Coney Mall.

Banshee Trains
As stated before, row four will have larger seats to accommodate guests of exceptional size. Try row four before calling it quits.

I go to the park without my parents all the time. I don't think I'm causing a disruption..

Banshee Construction Progress
I'm not sure those could be safe and easy to tap into for power. At least, probably not on top of Ice Scream Zone and WP. But hey, I know very little about electricity and how those buildings were set up.EDIT: Come to think of it, I seem to remember Cedar Point putting a webcam for GK atop maXair. Maybe we could use Delirium?

Banshee Construction Progress
Webcams can only be placed where there is an accessible power source. I doubt there is one on top of a random building near the construction sight.

If Ouimet was CEO during the Paramount acquisition...
I believe Wonderland had the same issue, and I believe the wheel assemblies were to blame. The issue has been fixed, last I heard.

Banshee Trains
I don't understand the "restraints on Gatekeeper don't lock." Isn't that the exact opposite thing a restraint is supposed to do?

FWIW, the only jackhammer I've ever noticed on Diamondback is between the hammerhead and the trim.

How would you built SOB with today's ride technologies
You'd think the same thing as the builders of the Titanic had you not known about its fate. Why would you need lifeboats on an unsinkable ship?

Valleyfair - New for 2014
Route 76 has a weird ring to it. Other than that, looks like it will be a solid addition to the park.
