I think xXDrummerKiDXx thought that BeastForever was talking about Kings Island site.

Now I'll go back to just reading this thread.

While ya'll were busy about being on 'topic' KI's Twitter, uploaded this picture http://img542.imageshack.us/img542/1395/780534173.jpg titled "Field of Dreams" about an hour ago.

KI just tweeted an arial picture of the construction site with a caption "field of dreams". It looks almost identical to the one posted here a page or two ago.

Hasn't it been, like, ten years since B&M has built a stand-up coaster?

What can I say this thread is cluttered like a horrible episode of hoarders.

It's strange every time I come back to this thread it takes to to the first unread post. I guess it does not work that way for everyone.

I love how they cut out the area we have been trying to decode with all the footers. Seems a bit less green to me as of lately.

I know this is old news but these two footers are from Corkscrew at CP. Triangular footers don't really mean anything when it comes to manufacturers.

Now when it comes to elements that is a different story.

Waaaaait a second. So now we're getting an Arrow looper!?! Sweet!

Haha No! Just saying some people have been saying ONLY ONE manufacturer uses a triangular footer when almost all manufacturers use these types of footers. Now I think that we can possibly narrow the element that will be using those footers but again that is a LONG stretch. This one uses a triangular footer for a corkscrew while some other rides have on for a first drop or another type of inversion. I guess I should've mentioned this piece in a bit more detail. Just saying you cannot tell what type of ride OR manufacturer that is building a ride based off of the shape and number of footers.

I'm pretty sure those footers in the Flight Deck queue were used to hold up the props from when the ride was still called Top Gun.

The footer was used to hold up QTV.

Coming back to the name Banshee....

This was to be used for the stand-up coaster, Mantis, until "other thinking" made the powers that be change their minds.

Because of this, was not the name Banshee registered/patented/copyrighted by Cedar Fair back then?

If so, why would that name just now be submitted for a trademark?

To maintain a trademark registration you must actually USE the mark in interstate commerce. They likely filed an intent to use application previously and then never actually used it thus allowing the application to lapse.

I spoke with a man who seemed to know a lot about trademarks and he said it was a use it or loose it thing.

Beat me to it

B&M invert is my guess, and a tall one at that...

How tall you thinking Bodda?

Hasn't it been, like, ten years since B&M has built a stand-up coaster?

1999 was last new installation (Georgia Scorcher), though Chang/Green Lantern and Iron Wolf/Apocalypse were relocated in 2011 and 2012 respectively.

At least now there is one thing we can all agree on.....It is a Field of Dreams at this point.

B&M invert is my guess, and a tall one at that...

Yes I agree B&m invert im dreaming of 200 feet or very close and 8 inversions, in my dream I see the giga using SOB station and that huge chunk of land in 2016... well ladies and gents that is my Field of Dreams lol.

It took 27 years to get a b&m coaster, after 32 years we will have our first intamin coaster.

It took 27 years to get a b&m coaster, after 34 years we will have our first intamin coaster.

So you're saying we got an Intamin in 2006 and a B&M in 1999? I must have missed something.

The park didn't get Diamondback for 17 years because it was not what the park needed. Over expansion would have killed it early on. Take a visit to Six Flags World of Adventure and Hard Rock Park for proof.

Don, People will come Don, they will come to Ohio for reasons they can't even fathom. The will turn into the parking lot not even sure why they are doing it. They will arive at the gate just as inocente as children longing for the past. Of course we won't mind if you look around you'l say its only $37.99 a person. They will pass over the money without even thinking about it, for it is money they have and roller coasters they like.

Don just tell us what it is your building.

They will walk in the park, sit on the rides on a SONNY afternoon. They will buy speed passes for there favoret rides, the ones they rode as children and screemed as there parents watched. It will be as if they DIPPED themselves in majic DOTTS. Memories will be so thick that they will brush them from there faces.

Don you already tore down one ride why build another?

People will come Don.

It's a hopeless cause Don, the enthusiast think they know what your putting in but can't seem to agree on B&M or Intamin.

The one constant thru the years Don has been roller coasters. America has rolled by like an army of steam rollers. It's been erased like a black board rebuilt and erased again. Roller coasters have marked the time. This park, these rides, it's a part of our past Don. It reminds us of all that once was good, and could be again. Ooh people will come Don, people will most deffinatly come.

I'm surprised there havent been any media teasers. Oh wait, I found one!

^ Someone has been watching Field of Dreams! Great Movie!

Don just tell us what it is your building.

I didn't know that Don "tore down" anything at Kings Island. I was also unaware that he is in the process of building anything at Kings Island......These seem like new developements!

^^Well now you do, got to love the popcorn fadder post
