I just realized something... guess I'm late to the party in observing this... but the station floor doesn't drop. It's a static, concrete loading station floor.

why would the floor need to drop?

The floor drops on other B&M inverted coasters to ensure sufficient clearance as the train moves.

Banshee's trains are different, instead being based on the design of B&M's wing coaster trains. The seats are tilted, allowing guests to board without the floor rising.

EDIT: basically what homestar92 and upstop said.

Diamondback is testing!!!

We need to name The Bat Velma..

Jinkies, it's quite fitting.

hey I know this is a bit off topic but I tried searching and didn't find anything....

are we allowed to post the link to our Scream for A Kid Again fundraiser page so if people on here want to donate they can? I signed up last night finally but don't know if/where I can post my link.

The Slingshot ball is back on!

What in the world are they doing with that cement?

They don't typically cement access roads. There's a pavement road, but not many.

So when does the crew get their training on the ride?

Thats probably on a need to know basis

I don't think they are talking about the ride itself being named. My guess is they have a Banshee prop they are going to display and they want to give it a name.

Sooner than you may think, but not anytime soon.

That makes a ton of sense. I bet they start training this weekend or next.

I may or may not know, but those who know will be trained when it is our time.

I was able to catch glimpses of Banshee running its course, but sadly none of Diamondback, and The Bat, which that JLG is in the way of The Bat.

I just saw a Diamondback train leave the MCBR.

It looks to me and I could be wrong that they are making a new exit for Delirium.

The Bat is still being worked on, so it isn't ready for test runs. They're replacing a rail right now.

The rail looks like it's been replaced now. It looks like it just needs a coat of paint.

I noticed that the area behind Delirium has been expanded (someone has mentioned it).

A new exit path?

I agree...looking at the webcam there is a shadow casting off of the edge near the landscaping...looks like a curb high enough to sit on to me. I'm thinking this area is going to be like the patio behind the Reds Grille. Hey, great place to eat a chicken dinner and ice cream.

I still think that part that scoops around behind Slingshot is a new smoking area.

^^ it could very well be a new smoking area. Also. Maybe there will be a new building built for Slaughter House at the end of the path.

If you glance at the park map for this year, it looks like some sort of covered area.

We aren't talking about the circle. Were talking about the concrete behind Sling Shot and Delirium.

Oh lol my apologies.

Could the concrete behind Delirium be to help access the gated areas beneath Banshee's first drop/dive loop, or perhaps for evac purposes?

As people are saying, It looks to me like Delirium New Exit Path.

I feel this is a competition for a guy named Sam.
