While that's completely true, rides doesn't mean anything compared to the line. Not once was Banshee completely empty.

I'm confused.

In 2008, the first Hyper coaster install in Cedar Fair's recent acquisition of the former Paramount Parks was beaten by a CCI Wooden coaster that some would argue couldn't fill a line like a Hyper in the Golden Ticket Awards.

 

In 2009, Kings Island's tallest, fastest, meanest, and first B&M roller coaster was beaten by a GCI Wooden coaster that some would argue couldn't fill a line like a Hyper in the Golden Ticket Awards.

 

In 2010, the second and final Giga coaster manufactured by Intamin for Cedar Fair was beaten by a next-generation dark ride based on a lucrative IP that some would argue couldn't fill a line like a Giga in the Golden Ticket Awards.

 

In 2012, the world's first Giga coaster from B&M was beaten by the nation's first (to open) Wing Rider that some would argue couldn't fill a line like a giga in the Golden Ticket Awards.

 

In 2013, the world's longest and fastest Wing Rider coaster from B&M was beaten by a next-generation Wooden coaster with multiple inversions that some would argue couldn't fill a line like a Wing Rider in the Golden Ticket Awards.

 

In 2014, the world's longest Inverted roller coaster was beaten by a wooden Bobsled coaster (that spent nearly a decade in SBNO status) that pretty much everyone would argue couldn't fill a line like an Invert in the Golden Ticket Awards.

 

In 2015, the tallest and fastest giga coaster built by B&M took first in the Golden Ticket Awards.

All I was saying is there was a reason for Banshee's line being shorter. However, it doesn't mean that no one rode Banshee.

Ummmmm.... Maybe because the ride has awesome capacity. Ever think about that?

Banshee's capacity is awesome and their station (usually) runs like a well-oiled machine. The short queue has nothing to do with lack of ridership.

I just wanted to say thank you to those who have posted pictures of said topic. Kudos!

I went today, they told me no more purple ice cream, and the blue was normal blue. I asked if it was temporary, and they said that it's for good. I wanted to cry. Even though it was just a blue and vanilla twist, it was beautiful.

Dear Kings Island,

 

Stop teasing and trying to get under my skin...! Jk I am actually loving this, and that Snoop Dog video Ki posted actually made me laugh out loud!

I suspect that with Snoop Dogg, anything regarding trees has a totally different meaning.

Ok, back to the topic, kinda.

Earlier I posted what I could see with my eyes was going on in the woods, whatever it means.

But now, once again as Dumbledore said "From this point forth, we shall be leaving the firm foundation of fact and journeying together through the murky marshes of memory into thickets of wildest guesswork." I'm going to delve into the more tenuous things, what may possibly be clues left for us, or may simply be coincidence.

When I rode Diamondback at the end of ERT, I looked to the right as we sat on the brake run, and saw something. There was a small row boat beside the fence. It was named Tin Man. There seemed to be some landscaping materials inside, as though it had been used as one might use a wheelbarrow. I took a picture from the DB line later in the day:

(An even shorter summary of info from the Wikipedia page on the Tin Man: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin_Woodman) The full name of the Tin Man in L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was the Tin Woodman. He was once a man named Nick Chopper, whose job was chopping trees. The Wicked Witch of the East bewitched his ax and it started cutting off his limbs, which he had replaced, until he was fully tin.

I just find it particularly interesting to find something somewhat hidden in the park that combines the two things going on over in Rivertown: falling trees and water.

It probably is complete coincidence. But maybe....

Were no new teasers up today at the park?

 

 

Magenta Lizard, I am pretty sure thats used for the Backwoods Bayou haunt attraction.

Wow. Ironically, I just finished watching the Harry Potter series, then you post a quote of Dumbledore's. [emoji23]

Back on subject. I must have missed that. Thanks for sharing!

Falling trees and water...this would probably never happen, but a terrain woodie that swoops down over the WWC reservoir kinda like the Raven does would be pretty amazing. There's just something truly incredible about riding a woodie through a thickly wooded area.

Sorry for the double post.

Would a woodie really generate the sort of excitement, anticipation and ticket sales that a Giga would? And don't give me that Golden Ticket Awards nonsense. That's irrelevant.

I think it is a coincidence. For some reason, I highly doubt KI would do a Wizard of Oz themed attraction with KK having that lame-o movie still.

I also am not completely convinced if falling trees have anything to do with what's going in... Mainly because Dollywood has had a few lumber-themed rides over the past decade.

Considering Rocky Mountain Construction's meteoric rise to fame with their Topper Track & I-Box installations amongst nearly every park in the Six Flags chain arguably ushering in a "3rd Age" of roller coasters?

 

Yes. It would. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a ten-year gap between Millie and Timmy when it comes to Giga installations.

Here's some photos I got today from the train and from the fence.
