Personally, i would like to see an Intamin launched wingrider in xbase. Kinda like Furius Baco at Port Adventura. Maybe it could come out of or dive into a concrete tunnel with barbed wire and fog in the middle of xbase like Oblivion at Alton Towers.

Ok sorry about my last post... I was mad at my dad and probably shouldn't have been posting at that time lol I was just really aimlessly being angry, and I'm sorry.

Edit: Move along... Nothing to see here!

Ok. Sorry. Forget what I said earlier. I observed that Drop Tower had a mechanic doing some jiggling on a restraint. I later asked Andrew what he thought, and he said that he thought it was that it didn't have all the seats certified yet. This is not positively true, it's just what he thought about it.

That's why I said " I HEARD that Drop Tower didn't have all it's seats certified "

Then it's not true then. How would YOU know?

I heard it from Andrew on May 4 2014 in line for Banshee with malem and ohiocolts.

I heard that DT doesn't have all it's seats certified

Here are the drawings i came up with: This is just a sketch. The red track is an idea for a new coaster with a heartline roll through Vortex's old loop. Sorry couldn't add more feel to it. It's hard to draw rust with a drying out pen lol. This is a possible track layout / map.

I was just thinking about that. They could tear down the tall parts and keep the inversions so its not so ugly but still visible through trees and stuff.

Oh ok! I didn't know arrow coasters lasted that long! So my idea is probably really unlikely, but I still think it would be really cool if they did retheme it and make another ride under it. I'll draw up something on paper.

I'm saying WHEN it gets torn down. By all means, I don't WANT it to be torn down, but I thought this would be cool for WHEN Vortex is too old to be safe to ride on. Im not hoping that they tear it down. I just thought it would be cool to make this new thing under it. Heck they could even re theme it and keep it operating but still add the new stuff I talked about earlier!

Maybe they could add the dead derailed trains with skeletons in them during haunt and have a maze in the ride area. Otherwise just have the ride kinda vacant and rusty with a haunting sorta feel.

I just had this crazy out of the blue idea for a new ride. I don't know if its a good one, but hear me out. So I thought that when Vortex closes, (which I hope is not soon, but it will have to close some time {all rides do}), they could leave it standing, and make it look like it has been closed for a long time. Like they just abandoned it after the track split or it derailed or something. They could leave a train valleyed between the loops, and have some bent ends of rails and missing track after the MCBR. They could put skeletons in the valleyed train and have a skeleton filled train waiting in the station. The chain could be rusty and broken and a train could be sitting on the lift. You get the idea. Make it look like an accident happened and KI abandoned it. Then they could install an INTAMIN Blitz coaster or a Mack launch coaster under Vortex and in the woods behind it. They could call it Soul of Vortex or something like that. It could be the same colors as Vortex and have some of the same elements, but for the most part stay really low to the ground. Could have lots of Vortex-y theming and possibly utilize Vortex's station! Could also interact with some of Vortex, like going through one of the loops or through the station or something like that. What do you guys think?

Just had a fine time with thedevariouseffect, the chickens, malem and Andrew!

Maybe something like this???

Not true! Congo Falls was stuck on the lift on opening day!

We rode together yet didn't know that we did! Lol Edit: ohh.....

I was there at 5:00 in the morning! Got third train of the day!

I am not but someone is!

My favorite part was either the zero g roll or the inline twist. Possibly the batwing. Who here thinks that Banshee is better than Raptor or Montu?

Yesterday, I saw some kid flying through the air and landing in a bush during the rush to get to Banshee first!

So me and my friend Ethan got to KI at about 5:30 in the morning. We met with these really cool guys who were determined to be the first because they got there first. The guard told us that it was going to be a free for all. So we waited for about 3 hours and then the guys we waited with started having contests to see who could get the farthest into the park before the guard started driving over. Then at about 8:45 we actually were allowed to go up to the gate. We were about the first ones there. Then about 2 hours later the line stretched all the way back to the drop off area. As soon as the gates opened, it was complete chaos. Everyone wanted to get in first. It was an insane mob. I got a cut on my hand, Ethan got kicked in the shin, and we saw some kid flying through the air at some point. (Not on Banshee) Finally we got to Banshee and holy moly it is beautiful. I was with the crazy mob and too excited to even take it all in at that point. Everybody surged through the queue hopping over and under rails. No one stopped. Finally we got up to the station just as the second train of the day dispatched. Me and Ethan got train 3!!! I was in a daze afterword because it was so great. Then we rode Bat which was about as dead as it usually is with 4 people in the station. Then we rode FOF and Firehawk with minimal lines. Finally we got to beast, and noticed that Banshee want running. It was broken down. That meant that lots of people were going to get out of line and go ride other things. Like beast. We were glad we got there when we did. So after that, we went and tried out the chicken shack for lunch. Had a great chicken salad and a water. Then we tried to go on Delirium but it broke down when we got in line. Then we tried to go on Congo falls but it broke down right before we got in line. Then Banshees line was about half the length that it was so me and Ethan waited 3.25 hours to ride. I think that front seat is best on Banshee. Usually i would say back, but Banshee is better on the front. My favorite part was the zero g roll or the inline twist. After Banshee, we went to WindSeeker. WindSeeker got stuck. So we went to ride Vortex. Then Vortex got stuck. Ethan said wait 5 minutes. Vortex was back up in 5 minutes! After Vortex, we got candy, and left. It was really fun!!! I will only get there at 5 on opening days that have a new ride, though. Altogether it was a great day! -thoe124
