I was hoping to get a new multi-million dollar, record-breaking coaster. Call me ungrateful, but I'm extremely disappointed. Oh wait.....
Why? You got everything you were hoping for.

^The Bat was a joke...
-
UPDATE:
The image has been taken down
That just confirms that this coaster will indeed be the longest of its kind (but there can still be other records)

There will always be people who don't like something....that's just how the world works.

I don't get it...sorry. Where are you all seeing the stats?
We don't know the actual length, but if this is telling the truth, it will be over 4,048.6 feet long.
-
^I already did
-
I told everyone there would be a leak today and look what happened!
Good job Bottle

Diversion?

Maroon, purple, and blue. If this is true, that's an odd combination (maroon is what throws it off IMO).
Did you happen to take any pics?

The countdown clock works based on what time your computer is set at. The clock is in EST so if your in a different time zone, the clock will be wrong.
If you set your computer clock past the announcement time, the countdown will show 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds; I tried that hoping it would show something hidden.

I hope this is a record breaker for height and speed. I would ride it even if it is forceless.
So now you say your going to ride it when for the past who knows how many pages you said you will not ride it if its a B&M???

I totally get it now.
The 10 pm presentation is a funeral....or perhaps burial...for the of Son of Beast...and the Banshee rises up.
I'm sure this thought was mentioned somewhere in this thread already, but I have neither the time or courage to find it.
I mentioned that 3 pages ago.

No trademark for The Bat was ever filed.

^I can just picture what would happen if Don announces anything but a roller coaster!

You mean 12 lllooonnnggg hours.
EDIT: There has to be some sort of leak showing concept art or something official within this time frame. Every roller coaster announcement for the past 2 years (as far as I know) has been leaked whether it be the logo, or concept art!
And is anyone at the park yet (I know, the park has only be open for 5 minutes)? There seems to be something next to the tree in the middle of the construction site that I can't make out from the webcams (It looks blue!). EDIT AGAIN: It is a truck because its moving!

^^Well maybe if KI upgraded the webcams to HD we would be able to see better and find out why!

Can someone who is there confirm if the fence is actually coming down or not. I realize you won't be able to go over there until 10. It's hard to tell from the far away foggy cam
If you look really close it looks like part of the fence is indeed gone.

That's tells you how much the track/support piece weighs. That number can be 800 for one piece and 1300 for another...it depends how much steel is used for that piece (if a track piece needs to withstand more force/pressure, more steel is used)
-
I wouldn't say this info is 100% accurate but remember when someone mentioned that the news publisher will already know what the ride is before the announcment so they can write and article on it?
Well one person from TPR said they talked to a news reporter at a Reds game yesterday and the news reporter said it would be the tallest and fastest inverted roller coaster.
Again, not 100% accurate and don't quote me on this.

Overall this is what one can deduce so far Height:? Length: .75-1 mile Inversions: 5-6 ( 2 loops, batwing, at least one zero g roll)

There are a few things wrong in that video....the biggest one being that the entire layout is mirrored to what the blueprints show...
Also, Screamscape is no reporting that Flight Deck might be renamed The Bat because the Flight Deck logos on the trains have been removed. Really?!?!
On another note, it sucks that people like me (who live far away from the park) can't see anything from the webcams because of the weather...

^Oh, its there...hackers can get around it from what google says (but I'm no hacker, nor want to be)

Plus, the lights on the webcam seem to be elevated...not on the ground.

^Please tell me you don't think this coaster will be a Wing Coaster.
For those looking for the image, I was looking through my cache and it says the file has been moved to a new url. What is the new url? Can't seem to find that.
