Stopped by the park the other day and snapped some photos of Banshee, The Bat, and parking lot improvements.

I DID NOT TRESPASS. I have a 300 mm lens. Shot from the highway & Great Wolf Lodge.

Check "Banshee construction progress" forum for Banshee's and the parking lots photos.

I love that orange track. I can't wait to see the entire repaint finished.

I just poke fun...

So it's in the bag?

or

Back in the Kinzel days I did a lot of poking FUN, sometimes in more than six ways.

Have they started painting the supports "charcoal" black? This picture confuses me because it looks like they have but I imagined this black to be a bit darker. Is that just where they've removed the previous paint job?

^ The orange was really light at first, so maybe it'll be darker after a bit more work.

It doesn't really look like the supports have been painted yet.

We've got action on The Bat Cam!!

Sandblasting? Painting? Sanding? Washing?

No idea but it's......action on The Bat Cam!!

Look what Kings Island put on their twitter! These trains look awesome! I can't put the picture for some reason or the link. Just get on their twitter

I was doing it right for the picture the screen was frozen. And wasn't letting me copy and past for link.

Is anyone else's Bat cam stuck on 11:00 this morning? Wonder if it is down.

It's stuck for me too. Bypassing my browser cache doesn't fix it, so either the camera itself or the script that uploads the images must be broken.

Its still stuck. Maybe its not a mistake.

Gasp! A diversion?!

Has anyone noticed what looks to be a building being built on the top of the first drop for The Bat? The other day I thought it was just some boards to protect the painters, but today it looks 3x as large and has what looks like a roof on it. Ride up the lift hill go around the corner into what looks like a barn and the ride drops out of the floor, looks interesting.

I see what your talking about. Interesting...

I'm lost I don't see what you all are seeing. Where is it?

Right now, it's just kinda support beams or something. Look close, there's a pointed roof.

The pointed roof looks like GWL to me... but I do see some sort of box or something at the top of the lift hill..

Okay. It's not as pointed as I had thought.

I believe this is the area in question:

Perhaps it's a belfry ;-)

That could explain why The Bat webcam is frozen. Just a wild guess.

I just noticed the tiny shack to the right of the web cam.

Interesting......

^ I noticed that earlier too!

Who volunteers to go to great wolf lodge for us?

^ faeriewench might be there!

The Bat Cam is up to date.
