If you watch the number signed on the petition site it keeps increasing but if you refresh the page it goes back down to 640-644. Seems sketchy to me.

It looks like it is going to be a very nice ride.

I think you can still RSVP for media day.

I'm surprised that in this era of state of the art technology, that swimsuit manufacturers still would consider using rivets in the construction of them.

In many of the views you can see a bike helmet too.

Chicken mask?

To get a capacity of 720 per hour then the ride would have to cycle much more quickly than the one in the video. The ride time was over 2 minutes not including load time. If it was similar ride time as the video the capacity would be closer to 240 per hour.

I think it looks like it curves because a piece of the track is laying on the ground in that area that gives the appearance it is curving though it is not attached.

I am certain there will not be a clearance issue when completed. I just made a comment about how close it looked in a photo from earlier.

I agree a little lower too but the amount of clearance in previous photo, unless it is just the perspective of the photo, looked a little on the tight side.

Picture from RCDB I would expect more like this much clearance (From Monster in France).

Left side in the back row is stunning. The pull and forces through the inversions are stronger on that side IMO. To those who are worried about the clearance Banshee, rest easy. If you have been on Gatekeeper the seats are tilted pretty far back. This means that legs dangle but dangle above the true bottom of the train. The train will have plenty of clearance. Ill try and find a photo to illustrate what I am saying. I know this one is from X-Flight but its the same thing. Look at the feet of the people they are not below the support beam for the seat: As you can see (even though these aren't the best pictures) , very few people can have their feet dangle below the seats but if they do its only by 6-12 inches. You do realize Banshee is not the same design type as Gatekeeper or X-flight. Right?

It was from the left seat

Old topic I know but I was surprised to learn last night that it is completely possible to not only touch the helix tunnel but I am certain it is possible to be injured. Edit: took out details so as not to get anyone in trouble

If you stay late enough that the waterpark closes you may have a long walk because I do not think they will let you exit there after a certain time. Edit: You gotta be quick around here

I agree with that about once the footers are drawn various layouts could be changed easily. The details that would take more time is laying in the footers due to the fact that they appear to line up just as the construction shows them to be.

I'm not saying that it is difficult to take an existing drawing and change it a bit to a new drawing, but I have to disagree with your statement. Not arguing the validity of the prints at all here. My point is that there is an awful lot of detail in those prints, more than just moving the mouse and presto.

After the events of the past week or so I was really concerned that this KIC relationship with Kings Island had been very strained. The tombstones that I saw pictures of sort of eased my mind that things are going to be ok. I hope that I'm correct in that thought process. Props to those who were noted.

Thanks for the reply Don. I thought it was a cover up sticker.

Been a member for a while and I like to just sit back and watch the crazy talk happen. Did anyone else notice that the press release cards with the comb had a "date" sticker covering up a different date? I wonder what the original date was? Why was it changed? Also, before it was mentioned that a write up about a Banshee stated that the only way to defeat her is to break the comb, where in the write up was that? I could not find that.

Very nice video. Thanks for posting. I liked how the lyrics "here comes the rain again falling from the stars" lined up with the water falling from the tower (at 0:46).

I wish I knew more about how this person was brought to light. Did a park guest notify someone? I'm glad someone stepped up and took notice and did the right thing.

I am the only KIC member in my family. Would the rest of the family be able to join in or do they need to be members also?

Do you really want to open this can of worms?

The last picture looks ghostly
