Well gang, it looks like we have another mystery on our hands!

Jinkies! Into the Mysterymobile!

I'm half-expecting KI to avoid all this speculation and rename it the Barn Owl.

What if they demolished Flight Deck and built a B&M wing coaster in it's place like the fake page showed. Perhaps I should eat a Snickers, I get speculative when I'm hungry.

Does anyone think that if this becomes The Bat reborn, that perhaps the station will be redesigned into a house, similar to The Vortex station, only more like Banshee's church type station...or a castle...(hmmm....my wheels are turning), part of the final turn of the queue line down the steps could be redesigned with castle walls with torches on the walls.....or completely enclosed from the steps area down to the newly designed queue line enclosed within the bowels of the castle....Actually, even the break run could be enclosed in a castle façade as well....

Under the old guard it might have been named Flying Coaster.

Don't get your hopes up too much. That could mean anything from a Flight Deck retheming to the Festhaus now serving hot wings and Blue Moon beer.

So, what you're saying is... win / win?

On this date in 1980, Kings Island announced it was building the world's first suspended roller coaster, the "Bat." 9:58 AM - 29 Oct 13

Hence, yesterday's tease may not be a tease.

Yep, looks as though it was merely him anticipating a mark of history for Kings Island.

I'd rather have the hot wings.

There's an extra set of stairs that attaches the ride's exit down to the lower queue. In the past, this featured a handicap electric ramp where guests in a wheel chair could experience the queue then ride up to the accessible part of the station. I bet you that becomes a "Fast Lane" entrance. I.E. Fast Lane riders enter through the exit, then go down those stairs and join up with the regular queue.

That's what I initially anticipated happening, but that set of stairs has now been demolished. I'd now be surprised if Fast Lane was added to the ride, as it'd require a whole new bridge of sorts from the ground to the station.

Thanks for pointing that out! I hadn't realized that they had demolished those!

I'd still put money on a Fast Lane queue going somewhere in there.

They spoke backwards, then reversed the film.

Also, fool me once...

It IS The Bat!

Can't wait to see FD/The Bat with its new paint and theme! (Even if it means waiting at least another month or two...)

Not everything is a diversion.

This inches my suspicion towards Action Zone becoming a Spooky Zone.

Nostalgia wants those old bat cars back, but practicality thinks that they were too unwieldy for utilitarian purposes.

So Eighties.

Edit.

Disregard this post.

The Bat flies again at #KingsIsland. The park is changing the name and colors of Flight Deck to The Bat. pic.twitter.com/9h1X6gSA1m

I wonder if the name and color just means name and colors or will we see something more?

I say that they'll announce the retheming of Action Zone Jan 25th or 26th.

I heard a rumor today of Drop Tower being Demon Drop and Invertigo being Screamin' Demon. I like the idea. Because it's like a throwback part of the park and halloweenish.

What's significant about those dates? I'm still voting for Invertigo to be renamed Stinger, like the one at Dorney lol Screamin' Demon could be a good name for Delirium

The proper title for this topic is now: "Activity Underneath The Bat?"

I am going to be as blunt as possible on this topic: Probably
