    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

10-14 days before media day I believe is what was said.

Kat, I'm 17 and 6'5". If I keep growing (projected to be 6'8") I will be a sad camper.

Wow. That's very tall. Hope you stop growing soon!

Who asked about pouring concrete for the queue lines? It sure as heck looks like they did. There is (what looks like) a lot of freshly poured concrete back there, and it looks like that will be quite a large queue line area :) I hope they tarp it like they have with most other queue lines so we aren't standing out in the sun baking!

Now I know what I want to be when I grow up.

Expect long hours and low low pay. But the perks do add up. I got to go to many OSU sporting events, hang on the field during football games, see the Destroyers and Blue Jackets. When I was in NY, I got to meet some very interesting people and had almost set up an event to attempt to break a roller coaster record as a radio publicity event. The last one fell through due to management at the radio station not wanting to take on the liability. (A few may remember when I was on here and wanted to do something similar to a ride at KI, but the radio bosses didnt enjoy the idea of me traveling to OHIO, so I picked a NY park that paid advertising with us).

I wouldn't pursue that career because media days allows some reporters to ride first.

The chances of being those reporters are slim, being on a news station that is covering a ride that you would even like to cover is slim, and being that particular reporter to ride is again... slim.

Depends on what station etc. If you get in at a smaller station and can swing the bosses to send you (think Zanesville) then its possible.

To be a reporter, some say go to college and some say you dont need it. What you need to do is to be able to do field work, look good, speak well, and write a concise story.

I see poles in the circle now!

Here is what I have to say about the max height.

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo !

Darn caps lock.

(If you get that sentence, you deserve some sort of prize that you will never get, so take a breath of air and consider that your own prize that you gave yourself instead)

I'm interested in what we will see under the tent now, yet, I have heard that we cannot camp at that region?

Do you think we could expect to see the shades over the queues to match Banshee's theme? Not just match the color scheme?

My gut feeling is that circle is where the lockers will be located.

I hope not, I would rather see a nice seating area like the Gatekeeper plaza has.

yeah I don't get that at all but it was funny to read. I'd love an explanation of it, as my fiancé was highly entertained because he loves buffalos.

Please capitalize the third and seventh Buffalo, as they refer to the city.

Just picture Rob Alvey "WHEEEEE!!" -ing and "Batzeling!!!" and other Media Representatives enjoying the front while the peasants are sent one row back. :D

I feel like he's going to invent some horrible screaming sound and do it repeatedly on the ride, and call it "Bansheeing".

Aside from, of course, the Banshee-like qualities of his voice that he has already demonstrated in his videos.

I have a sock and some duct tape to take care of that. Lol

^^^^They have Buffalo down south in the Commonwealth at a place of very large vertebrates' bones.

Maybe I'm late on this, but it appears that they have turned the lights on that are on the outside wall of the station.

Big Bone Lick?

You could shave your head. And go barefoot.

Gemini-XL 200, who likes to mess with Diamondbacker, like good friends typically do.

^i have good hair now! I can't lose it because of an old female spirit!

Or maybe I can. She looks pretty in purple. :)

I'm glad you know what's going on here. I still have no clue what that's about :P

Edit: Wikipedia sheds some light on the confusion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo

Yes. They cut the expansion joints in the concrete area that will form the queue. They likely won`t install the queue rails until next week once the concrete has cured some.

I would love to see how the front of the station has progressed and if they put any stained glass in it??
