You may also notice when driving on I-71 that our humble little Arrow Suspended Coaster finally pops and is easy to see from the highway.

Visible to all, as the best non-inverting steel coaster at Kings Island should be.

I actually prefer Adventure Express to be hidden. I think it adds to the ride experience.

But should IT be visible to all?

EDIT: I agree with The Crypt!

Adventure Express and The Bat sometimes flip-flop on my favorite non-inverting steel coasters list.

I'm feeling more batty than adventurous today, so at least for now, The Bat it is for me.

I will admit, TheCrypt's comeback was superb.

We're placing it above Diamondback? That's a mighty bold statement. And that's coming from someone who spent a couple years working it.

For me personally, absolutely, 100% yes.

In fact, Diamondback is my 3rd least favorite coaster in the park, beating out only Backlot Stunt Coaster and Flying Ace Aerial Chase. If it's any consolation, had I ever ridden The Great Pumpkin Coaster, Diamondback would be my 4th least favorite.

As its manufacturer implies with their name, I find Diamondback to be Boring & Mediocre.

It would be awesome if Kings Island had a Bat cam, its kinda pointless to have Banshee cam one facing were it is.

It is not "pointless" to have Banshee Construction Cam 1 facing the direction that it currently is.

Banshee Construction Cam 1 will be providing great views of Banshee testing once it begins.

Actually, from watching while the park was still open, I never noticed anything moving. I watched and watched for about 2 hours one day, and saw nothing but the shadows move. It was frustrating. (Though, I have no life, since I didn't have a way to get to the park.)

Banshee Construction Cam 1 is now The Bat construction cam as they have moved that camera to The Bat!

Can't wait to ride The Bat this Summer!

The silhouette of the lift hill and GWL is actually pretty cool. I'm glad they gave The Bat its own webcam. Now I don't have to zoom in on the back of the Banshee cam and squint my eyes to see how much painting they've done!

I am 'Bat Cam'

< (Looks around for Robin and Bat Girl)

No, I'm not The Joker (more like Steve Allen...)

Na na na na na na na na Bat Cam

Same Bat time.

Same Bat Channel.

I cannot wait to ride The Bat during Haunt, it looks like it would fit perfectly!

I would like to know if there is any rhyme or reason to the sections of track/supports that they choose to paint. To me, it doesn't seem like there's any.

I would think they choose parts they have not already painted.

Terp, who just HAD to. (The reward for poor quality, hasty work is rework).

They took my advice! Now all they need to do is take my advice on building an intamin giga..

INTAMIN is a registered trademark and, as such, should always be capitalized.

Just a friendly reminder, linking to the live webcam means that the image will change with time, and nighttime viewers will be met with a dark photo. Instead, save the photo and upload it to a photo sharing site like imgur.com. That way, the screenshot will be saved in time.

Be careful with all that in caps..people may think you're yelling

"Why cant we be friends"

Because it's the off season.
