[Starting to Decode 2014]

The info I'm about to say came directly Canada's Wonderland's general manager:

The B and M clause was that no B and M coaster could be built within a certain distance (I forgot the number) from Cedar Point exculding andy Cedar Fair park. At the time, CW wasn't owned by CF so wonderland had to settle with a SLC. Belive it or not, Wonderland was 2 miles away from getting the B and M invert.

I think the deal was only against Paramount though the manager never said who if it was for any park or just Paramount.

That would be because there are no reliable sources that state the ride is open. If you look at the talk page of the article, there's been a disscussion of the "issue" but there's not much we can do. I'll add the out of date tag later today.

I don't think the show has nothing to do with KI. The announcement likely has to do with some roller coaster manufacture announcing a new model. If I'm right, I hope its B&M!

Rode past CSF in Batavia this afternoon after my shopping trip down to Eastgate. Saw one lime green piece and a couple of pieces awaiting paint on the side. At this point there's not much activity taking place from what I saw.

>Ok so what we know so far:

We are getting a lime green B&M steel coaster named Banshee.

That's most likely for the wing coaster opening in Asia.

I highly doubt that as track work was completed a long time ago.

It also raises the question, if they were so popular among guests, why hasn't any other park chain decided to put one in?

Busch had exclusivity clause with B&M on the Dive Coaster model for a number of years after SheiKra and Griffon were built.

What are your sources on this? Just wondering.

As it turned out, the deal was for 5 years as a SheiKra clone was built in 2009.
