Do that, and ride on media day with the shirt on. :P

I'll probably just use my ZIP code

...EDIT: "And spend the next 37 days at LifeTime trying to get somewhere near this cut!"

    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

"Approximately"

Hahahaha
An oddly specific number to be following after the word "approximately" :lol:

I too would love to know if we will get shirts at media day, before I purchase one from the KI Marketplace online :)

I would think if they were going to do the tees they would do it opening day. That's what they did with Firehawk and DB.

To be honest, I hope no one reveals the lighting package of Banshee. I want it revealed in its full glory at the end of opening day.

I'll wait to post my media day/Scream For a Kid Again trip report until after opening day then. I can't speak for others though.

Or you can still post it before Opening Day and people can just choose not to look at it if they don't want to get an early peek at what it's like...

Just because something is posted, it doesn't mean you all have to look at it. :)

and we have testing again!! :)

Looks like The Bat is finished being painted! :)

^^^Not just yet, they still have one more spot and a few supports. In matter of fact, they are painting the last part of the track orange.

Looks like she's testing again. Through the Batwing at 4:53:34.

Just wondering have they begun test the other rides in the park?

And had our Capitol brethren up north begun too?

Awesome!

Looks like something else besides dirt and mud has begun to occupy the queue area.

CP has not started testing yet. Raptor just had it's trains put back on today.

It looks like they have started on the display sign area by the queue line

I'm sure some rides have cycled a few times we just don't see it.

You'll see the park wake up for sure at the end of April/Beginning of May..we train for practically a week or more running the ride as an O/C shift to get ready for first riders.

Wish that sort of thing happened down here. I got two weeks of running rides and working with the crew, some rides at KI, just a day..

The first dive loop is going to be a great spot for pictures! Can't wait to see people screaming like little girls, lol.

Testing will probably be hindered yet again today by windy conditions. :( However, i am really eager to see what the finished station looks like!

Wouldnt a windy day be a great day for testing? That and rain? Perfect example on why I want to wait a bit before I ride any new ride.

I got to drive (I didn't drive, of course) past KI today and saw Banshee testing! Truly stupendous.

Probably sent from my iDevice without Cydia.

The Action Zone is going to be amazing this year! It's going to look completely different! I'm not sure if I'm more excited for Banshee itself or the new atmosphere of the area!

Yea I'm pretty sure they've laid the concrete for the queue.

Depends on the ride, some train more before the park opens than others.

When it comes to testing the ride. Do they bring in the KI crew that will be running the ride? How does that all work....esp the training on a new coaster!

Rides supervisors work several weeks before, cycling the rides. Then other employees come on specific days closer to the opening of the park. People are trained on the ride they will be working. Rides like Banshee will require training during the whole training period.
