The Bat flies again at Kings Island

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!

    I chose today to announce the name change to coincide with the date the original Bat was announced in 1980.

  • I was bored, so, here is my render.

  • You got your answer quick! Official Press release! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

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. :lol:

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.

happened to be in the area & grabbed a pic today. That orange & hopefully jet black will look great! Posted Image

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

Can't wait to see this thing next to Banshee! It's going to look stunning!

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!

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!

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.

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)

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.

That would be me! :D I have a DSLR with a nice 80-200mm lens.

That's not really a fair question...the front seat clearly has a big head start. ;^)

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.

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.

Hmm... I thought this was The Bat flies again thread? :P

Welcome to the offseason. :P

i cant tell if some of those supports are already painted or if its shadows messing with it.

Yay! I am not alone!
