November 24, 201312 yr As long as this goes better than the last painting experience. I seem to remember some discussion about someone seeing the grey and the silver, and asking what the final color would be, only to find out that was the final color. D'oh!
November 26, 201312 yr And if thou breakest the Eleventh Commandment: NOW YOU WILL PAY! It's hard for those Gods to make anyone pay when their arms are non functioning or one armed in some cases. Plenty of "one-armed bandits" have made people pay over the years. I really want a water coaster after seeing the one on Intamin's website a few nights ago, Divertical. It just looks freaky and awesome at the same time I think a water coaster (as in, roller coaster-water coaster (Mack), not water slide-water coaster (Proslide)) would be perfect in Tower Gardens. It could be called "The Expedition" and utilize the waterfall structure for the lift and drop. It could also possibly go inside the waterfall at some point of the ride. I think you greatly over-estimate the size of the waterfall in Tower Gardens.
November 27, 201312 yr https://twitter.com/KingsIslandPR/status/405755811227385856/photo/1/large looks great!
November 28, 201312 yr I thought the orange would end up darker but still, great looks for a great ride. Man I'm glad to see a fresh coat on that thing!
November 29, 201312 yr happened to be in the area & grabbed a pic today. That orange & hopefully jet black will look great!
November 30, 201312 yr This makes me more than excited to be sitting across from it on a balcony sipping a bit of bourbon while my eyes feast on the new sites of the park Hopefully someone with a D-SLR is coming
November 30, 201312 yr Can't wait to see this thing next to Banshee! It's going to look stunning! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
November 30, 201312 yr This is going to be awesome! Can't wait to hop on it next year! Back seat's the best + fastest! I hope this makes the ride alot more popular. Last year me and my friend logan rode it 7 times in a row before having to get back in line where we rode it 4 more consecutive times with no one getting in line!
November 30, 201312 yr Nick, I have a question for you. If the back seat is the fastest, why doesn't it beat the front seat back? Terp, who likes to ask questions.

I am sure Action Zone as a whole is going to be a lot more busy the next few seasons!
November 30, 201312 yr I've tried to explain that to my daughter and she does not get it. She still insists the back is fastest. I blame new math or possibly new physics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
November 30, 201312 yr It depends if you want to be at top speed of the train coming out of the hill (front) or going down the hill (back). Personally, on The Bat, I like the feeling in the front of the train. Most other coasters I prefer to be going faster while going down the hill. (Ex: DB)
November 30, 201312 yr The back isn't faster than the front...they both travel at the same speed :-) Shhhh! I was going to ask why Cedar Fair doesn't run two trains on Invertigo next!
December 1, 201312 yr The back isn't faster than the front...they both travel at the same speed :-) Shhhh! I was going to ask why Cedar Fair doesn't run two trains on Invertigo next! Invertigo does fine with a single train. I do think Wicked Twister could benefit from two trains, though. In fact, I think the improvement would be smashing.

December 4, 201312 yr Nick, I have a question for you. If the back seat is the fastest, why doesn't it beat the front seat back? Terp, who likes to ask questions. That's not really a fair question...the front seat clearly has a big head start. ;^)
December 4, 201312 yr The back isn't faster than the front...they both travel at the same speed :-) Shhhh! I was going to ask why Cedar Fair doesn't run two trains on Invertigo next! Invertigo does fine with a single train. I do think Wicked Twister could benefit from two trains, though. In fact, I think the improvement would be smashing. They could have a quick transfer track so one train could load while other was going through the course. However with increased downtime likely from that they probaly just better off with the one train.
December 4, 201312 yr Chillier had dual stations with a sliding transfer track so two trains could each run on the same non-circuitous track, as do the Messrs Freeze. It worked (works) well.
December 4, 201312 yr Hmm... I thought this was The Bat flies again thread? Welcome to the offseason.
December 5, 201312 yr i cant tell if some of those supports are already painted or if its shadows messing with it.
