    We did not mention all the statistics during the announcement because statistics are not what make a roller coaster great; it's the ride experience it delivers that makes it great.

  • It's good to see me, isn't it? No need to respond! That was rhetorical. Under 30 days until Banshee makes its public debut! We can't wait for you to come out and experience this ride.

    We have guests that are more excited about our live shows than our roller coasters, that visit the park specifically for the shows. For these guests, the Cirque Imagine announcement was as exciting as

I see something that makes me think of StoneHenge.

I think it would have been better to leave the wood its natural color instead of painted it grey.

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 just don't know how Stonehenge would relate unless they made it an international themed area, which could actually work with the viking ship and Festhaus (spelling?) nearby. It would look cool though.

I basically attempted to convey the same message, but you did is soooo much better. :D

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.

Stopped by the park the other day and snapped some photos of Banshee, The Bat, and parking lot improvements.

Since I couldn't find the topic about the parking lot improvements for 2014, I'll post those here.

I DID NOT TRESPASS. I have a 300 mm lens. Shot from the highway & Great Wolf Lodge.

Check "The Bat flies again." forum for The Bats photos.

As someone said on another fourm, Dont quote photos that are right above the post. ;)

Does anyone have any up to the minute pics of the station? The side where the train exits?

At 12:10 AM on a Tuesday, up to the minute?

I think it can safely be said. No.

Every photo was up to the minute at the time it was taken.

:D

Your best (only?) bet for now is to ask Mr. Don Helbig. Nicely.

It appears that concrete has been poured in Oktoberfest.

Coasterama what is there I didn't see anything.

I don't think anything in particular, just a slightly different camera angle that may be a bit clearer.

You can see they tore down part of the stunt crew grill.

Ah! I see it! But wait! They are removing the Stunt Crew Grille! I guess no more Slaughterhouse...

I'm not really seeing that, but it definitely looks like they tore up the ground in front of it.

Edit: nevermind, I'm looking at the wrong building. I can't really tell what is going on with Stunt Crew Grille.

Not to get off topic, but does anyone on here want a 2013 Kings Island park map? If you did I wouldn't put them on ebay.

There is something wrapped in white plastic by Stunt Crew/ Chicken Shack and also next to Ice Scream by and under the first dive loop as well.

They have been paying very special attention to the top of that turn after the 2nd vertical since they've finished steel erection.
