  • Well its been a fun one.. So long Starting to Decode 2014!

  • You know, I chuckle at this thread. The more I read it... which is pretty much daily now... the more I become amused. Why? It's a near carbon copy of about a dozen other threads related to KI throu

    For those waiting for when we'll announce what we're building for the future, you might want to grab yourself a Snickers bar. It's going to be awhile. We still have the majority of the 2013 season

I got the guesses all right. I guessed Banshee, B&M, Inverted, 200'-299'

No you didn't, the height is 167 ft

Someone told me the height was 206 but I guess not?

That is the elevation change (top of the lift to the bottom of the valley)

I'm speechless. This coaster looks beautiful and extremely fun. Looks like Ill be paying my Christmas money to be a First Rider!

Well, at least we know what all the triangular footers are for. :P

Elevation change is 208' from top of the lifthill down to the valley.

Oh my gosh... this looks awesome and a lot better than I expected... I saw the layout and I'm like... we have a batwing (the pretzel-loopy thing)!!! :D This is gonna be awesome!!!!

Check out the zero-g on that puppy!

Love the new restraints. This thing is gonna be EPIC!

If I wasn't as classy, I'd seriously be drooling all over my computer right now.

how does this reach a speed faster than alpengeist (67mph), when this is almost 30 feet shorter in height?

Need a countdown clock to opening day 2014...lol. I am giddy with excitement :)

*edited because I was too excited to type correctly

I'm pumped! Looks like it'll be a great ride! And it looks massive!

How 'bout those restraints, eh?

anyone else notice that Sling Shot is not in the renderings I am not saying it is going anywhere but just an observation.

The new restraints don't seem to be all that new. New for an inverted coaster, yes, but I'm pretty sure those are used on B&M's wing coasters.

Also, this will tie for first for inversions on an invert, and also has the most inversions of any roller coaster in Ohio.

Pros: Awesome colors, awesome inversions, awesome restraints, awesome station, awesome theme, NO MCBR!

Cons: NOTHING

I am in love with this ride already.... everything about it is amazing. I especially LOVE the loading station. I am a happy camper

how does this reach a speed faster than alpengeist (67mph), when this is almost 30 feet shorter in height?

because it drops into a valley total elevation change is 206 ft

All I can say is I am really grateful the park is finally getting an invert!!! I absolutely LOVE me a B&M invert and have always wished there was one at a park closer to me than Cedar Point or SFGA. Now that wish has come true with Banshee!

Love everything I am seeing and reading right now! I also love the colors. I know someone had already mentioned that, but I really feel like this coaster will greatly liven up such a dead section of the park!

I also hope they do not fill the tracks with sand and let tha baby roar like a Beemer should! ( but I doubt they will let it kick up some noise...I gotta say thats one of my favorite things about Raptor at CP, is that wonderful roar that lets you know it means business!)

Next year cannot come fast enough! I will be there rain or shine! :D

I must have missed it, what is special about the restraints?

WOW. JUST. WOW.

...this ride looks amazing...the colors, the logo, the station, the layout, the new restraints...everything...and no MCBR, so it doesn't stop until the final brakes and the rumor is it hits 68mph in the MIDDLE of the ride, aka it actually uses the terrain, which is always a plus. And the park did a great job hyping this up, too...such as The Bat leak and everything.

I cannot wait for Banshee. ;)

I like how all the tombstones in the teaser are to old rides! I love that entire teaser video actually.

Sorry, guys. I'm fangirling over the amazing layout, colors, station, entry plaza, and stats.

The restraints are identical to GK and other wing riders......I hope they don't constantly tighten.......
