I think we can expect something more then just pavers for next year... Look up north they got a more expensive ride, with a new entrance and all that jazz...and the next year they are getting quite a bit, Lake Erie Eagles, PipeScream, and retheming of other rides aswell. Perhaps we can see a Planet Snoopy expansion...

^^ I totally agree with you. I'm not sure where this hatred of Ride Op spiels comes from. I think it totally adds to the experience and something I come to expect when coming to the park. I think it creates a more personal, and relatable experience. If they are having fun, it seems guests are happy.

Banshee Countdown Timeline
I still don't understand some of the teasers, and how they fit in with the Banshee theme. Anyone care to fill me in?

New ride?
All it is stating is where the originated from, which is USA... I feel that it is probably heading over seas, most (seasonal) parks would've already announced a coaster. No park would be able to assemble any coaster of this scale in time for a Summer-ish debut. If it is going to Disney or Universal then honestly I don't know, but I have a feeling it'll be heading across an ocean. EDIT: I also am wondering about the 5th picture down that one looks like a rather odd price of B&M track.

Nah, churches will at least have all wood stained or something! And if not, it's usually, from my experience, a naturally darker wood than pine. We don't want our ride to look like its materials came fresh out of the nearest Home Depot. I basically attempted to convey the same message, but you did is soooo much better. For reference:

That doesn't look like super high quality wood, that has been finished or should be... I think they made the right call to paint it.

Dat Interior... If you wish to visit Kings Island's Instagram and view the photo on their social media page please click here Instagram hides their photos well, I had to sneak my way into the developer encoding(thank you Google Chrome) and find the right link where they are keeping the photo... Anyways I think that is some fantastic detail in the rafters.

Canada's Wonderland, or Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens?
Well for Canada's Wonderland you could save money by applying for a passport card which covers Canada and some of our other neighbors. I believe $15 before execution fee (that's an odd name).

So it is kind of like those Nuclear Missile Silos, where they have two keys and it won't launch if BOTH keys aren't turned and then BOTH buttons pressed? B&M going all out here.

New Paramount Parks?
Spain is a smart choice, to quote a British friend of mine, "Spain is practically a second home for us." If Europeans are willing to fly to Florida to go to Universal, or Disney, it almost a walk across the street to go to Spain.

To be honest I'm sure about the yellow. Yes, probably better than Gatekeeper's red, but I think purple or blue wood've look Beast.

Not sure if this has been brought up but is it concerning any of the other brick paver advocates that they has dug the circle with such precision? I would think that if they were too install pavers they would just rip the entire thing off. Perhaps it is for trucking equipment to not have to go over dirt for the time being. Doubt the would want to risk damaging the paving with all that machinery. It is typically one the last things to go if I'm not mistaken. But that still does let explain why they would dig the circle. My guess is that they are just getting rid of the big target. Just a few of a fans thoughts...

Banshee Trains
So when the trains arrive will we know? I would think they would head to the maintenance department for inspect and preparation, as well as it just keep it out of the elements until closer to opening day.
