Diamondbacker

Someone has. Diamondbacker, fulfilling Terp's position.

Gator can tell you a story about The Beach...

I remember hearing about a stunt that Wildman Walker did about the Bengals. He vowed to stay on a billboard until the Bengals won a game. The Bengals went 0-8, and he was getting a bunch of free food and publicity for WEBN. He came down the same day that the Bengals won their first game.

^They might have been using that profit for other projects, such as Banshee. Would you rather have a better parking lot or Banshee?

Props to you, man. I'm 6'5", and in every scare zone and maze I went to at this past Haunt, I had only one or two people try to scare me. It took away from the experience. I understood why they were avoiding me, but come on! I'm not an imposing figure (I'm a very skinny 210), and if I worked as a scareactor I would want to scare everyone, no matter height, age, or how big their biceps are. The actors are supposed to be the ones scaring others, not being scared by people. That's how they're getting a paycheck.

Will they give it another coat in the spring?

...when we're all talking about Banshee and watching the webcams closely.

Either way, Kings Island still gives their leftover prizes to kids at The Ronald McDonald House and other multiple charities.

Well, that takes the wind right out of Kentucky Kingdom's sails...or should I say sales?

^ I'd love to see the glockenspiel return. That was so neat as a kid.

Can we sing this song too? http://youtu.be/iCQ0vDAbF7s

We're learning so much this year about what happens in the offseason in AZ.

Good idea for KI! I'm glad that I won't have to leave the park anymore to get food when I can eat something with true quality in the park. I hope this brings another sit-down. Diamondbacker, hoping for a possible return of the International Restaurant.

^ Then we can bring back the real 'Tiques and the Eagles.

^ Antique Cars: The Fast and The Furious. Since we're bringing back names of old KI rides, I thought that would do the trick. Even theme it like the antique cars, but keep the police cars in there and make the cars bust out of an old KI postcard.

The GP won't notice it behind Banshee. So, no. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

She's the lady in the SOB announcement video!

King Cobra, Phantom Theater or Scooby Doo, Beastie, Kenton's Cove Keelboat Canal. Who knows, we just might have the Screamin Demon back at KI soon...

Looks like the orange and cream crane is working on the dive loop.

So I just came up with this theory. You know how in football a bad team will draft a young and exciting quarterback and then build around him to make the team better and grow in success and popularity? With Banshee being the rookie QB, KI might be doing this strategy by re-theming some of that area's rides around it to ultimately bring more people to that section of the park. I have three reasons to believe this theory. One is for all the unknowns and mysteries around SOB from June 2009-July 2012, and KI wanting to erase memories of that experiment. Second, it's been 10 years since a new ride has been added to AZ. Third, AZ always seems to be lifeless during the summer. Although hosting popular rides like Drop Tower and Invertigo, it's dead everywhere else, with Congo Falls looking like a barren wasteland and FD being a walk-on. The go-karts also had low ridership, and Xtreme Skyflyer didn't have much popularity because it was(still is) an upcharge..

I'd hate to remove any rides at KI, but if there was a gun against my head and to live I had to remove something, I'd take out WindSeeker. I understand that it's supposed to be a family-oriented ride, but it's been known for heavy downtime and the accidents at CP and KBF. Plus, it's not all that exciting.

If KI is going to repaint Delirium and change it to 'Pit and Pendulum', what colors will they repaint with?

Facebook pages and Screamscape mostly get their info from here. The only way that Screamscape was able to report on rumors about The Bat is because we were posting about it, so this probably came from the AZ re-theme thread.

I respectfully disagree. ERT first thing in the morning will get you on the ride with the shortest wait times. Will Banshee have ERT?

I only hope that the area containing Banshee and The Bat will be cut off into a new section called "Spooky Hollow". Thinking about that, would it be weird for Banshee to be in a separate area when it's so close to AZ's midway? Just a thought.
